Biography
With a voice as raucous as James Brown's and a hard-hitting conception of R&B that influenced as many rock musicians as soul singers, Wilson Pickett represented the grittier side of soul. His sweat-soaked tunes from the '60s -- "In the Midnight Hour," "Mustang Sally," and "634-5789" among them -- are as provoking now as the era in which they were originally recorded.
