EJ Simmons is the music director for the 8:00 am service at the first United Methodist Church in Henderson Kentucky, he is their musician and singer there. I I heard he was going to be at the library there in Henderson so I went to hear him. When I walked in to that library he was playing and singing Mustang Sally. I was blown away! I did not know he could play music like that, and but what I didn't know then, until today, is that he plays it and sings it better than Wilson Pickett, the guy who made millions off of the recording. I will never want to listen to Wilson's rendition again ever, because I've been spoiled. Because I can still hear EJ and his band in my head, they nailed it. In fact they did better than nail it, they did it, I don't have a word for it, they did it as if they owned the thang! Now I said that to say this, if they let him play that style of music with the same beat, doing Gospel songs, they'd have to implement *crowd control*!
