If You Need Me
''If You Need Me'' is a 1963 song written and originally recorded by Wilson Pickett and was made into a hit by Solomon Burke, who sent the song to #2 on the R&B charts that year and was covered by the Hep Stars on 1965 for their first studio album "We and our Cadillac".
==Overview==
Recorded on March 15, 1963,〔Gerri Hirshey, ''Nowhere To Run: The Story of Soul Music'' (Da Capo Press, 1994):86.〕 which was written and recorded originally by Wilson Pickett for Lloyd Price's Detroit-based Double L Records,〔Cliff White, ("The Solomon Burke Story" ), ''Black Music'' (1975)〕 which had been rejected by Wexler, but who had purchased the publishing rights. According to Burke, Pickett gave the song to him on a tour bus: "Wilson sang the song for me in a bus on a tour. I loved it so much that I got Wilson to do it. Atlantic refused to sign him at that time, so we got Wilson to release the song on the Lloyd-Logan label. We were the best of friends. As a matter of fact, I promoted his record and he promoted mine." However, Pickett claims Wexler lifted it from demo tapes he had sent Atlantic.〔Dave Marsh, ''In The Heart of Rock & Soul: The 1001 Greatest Singles Ever Made'' (Da Capo Press, 1999):472〕 Burke recalled in 2003: "I was furious when Wexler rejected Pickett",〔Solomon Burke, in Kurt B. Reighley, ("Wilson Pickett: 1941 – 2006" ), ''Farther Along'' #62 (March–April 2006)〕 and "when radio personality the Magnificent Montague started spinning Pickett’s original version, Wexler rushed out Burke’s, with both in ''Billboards "Singles Review" column on April 13.〔"Singles Reviews", ''Billboard'' (13 Apr 1963):34.〕 and both featured on Billboard's "Artists' Biographies" on May 4, 1963.〔"Artists' Biographies", ''Billboard'' (4 May 1963):12. Note Burke's age is erroneously given as 28.〕 Although Burke ultimately won the chart war, Burke broke rank and supported his rival: “I would go to the radio stations and say, ‘Hi, I’m Solomon Burke, and I’m here promoting the new record “If You Need Me”…by Wilson Pickett.’”〔
