People's Choice Video Award Winner!

Barry Shankman became the randomly selected by computer winner out of all who "liked" and "shared" the "Wild Horses" video. It was computer magic because Barry is a musician, producer, studio owner with whom Jim collaborated back in the days of wild and wooly Barbarian Records. Here is his wonderful take on Jim's playing on "Wild Horses."

"Jim Dickinson's Legacy... James Luther Dickinson & The Rolling Stones. Jim's great artistic abilities not only as a musician Piano Player but always thinking as a producer can be known by listening to his work on 'Wild Horses’ with the Rolling Stones. Hear how his left hand never over- plays the bass yet is right there in the groove, complementing the kick & snare- adding his own style to a band with such a strong style of its own; while his right hand brings that strong slow but driving lick that makes 'Wild Horses' such a uniquely different Stones’ tune.Part of Jim's legacy is this talent. If one listens one can hear his technique as a producer in what he plays and most importantly, in the space he leaves between the notes, so the music can breathe. That allows it a life that expresses the talent of those he is working with as well as his talent in influencing the song’s direction. On the 'Wild Horses' session Jim taught me how he played his part by what he played and did not play. Even today I hear him in the track influencing the sound and touching how I listen to and produce music. This just goes to show how great he was. 'Wild, wild horses- we’ll ride them someday.' Thank you, James Luther Dickinson from all of us who are touched by your talent & ability. 'Let's all get Dixie Fried' & 'World Boogie is coming!' Jim Dickinson's Legacy lives on..."

Congratulations, Barry, and thank you to everyone that participated in this fun contest.
