Biography

Wilson Pickett was a prominent '60s soul artist known for hits like "In the Midnight Hour," "Land of 1000 Dances," "Mustang Sally," and "Funky Broadway." He helped shape the sound of Southern soul with his early recordings in Memphis and Muscle Shoals, often collaborating with top session musicians. Pickett's energetic performances and raw soul style made him a favorite among fans who preferred a grittier sound.

Before his solo career, Pickett sang with the Falcons and had R&B hits like "If You Need Me" and "It's Too Late." His success continued with hits like "634-5789" and "Land of 1000 Dances," showcasing his influence on the soul genre. Pickett's career spanned into the early '70s, producing hits like "Don't Knock My Love" and "Get Me Back on Time, Engine Number 9."
