There's a wonderfully delightful Irish film from 1991 called The Committments, about a tiny Irish pub band struggling to make is as R&B musicians. I've watched it half a dozen times. It contains a few politically incorrect words, but little pasty Irish protagonists hero-worship Wilson Pickett. I think you can find it online.

Great tune. Even before the age of sampling tunes for hip-hop, the na-na-na-na-na hook can be heard in other songs.”

Not everyone likes Patti Smith. But I do.
