Right On is an album by R&B and soul singer Wilson Pickett, released in 1970. Hit covers of the Supremes' "You Keep Me Hangin' On" (No. 16 R&B, No. 92 Pop) and the Archies' "Sugar, Sugar" (No. 4 R&B, No. 25 Pop), as well as the Pickett original "She Said Yes" (No. 20 R&B, No. 68 Pop) came from these sessions. The album, however, had dismal sales, staying in the bottom parts of the Billboard 200.
The backing band was Cold Grits; consisting of keyboardist Billy Carter, bassist Harold Cowart, guitarist Jimmy O'Rourke and drummer Ron "Tubby" Ziegler; and the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section.
