Wilson Pickett had his sexy moves down and could dance like no other. Wilson Pickett's music is soul at its wildest: "The Wicked Pickett" wears his name well. He grew up in Detroit, and his first professional job was with the gospel Violinaires, but the world first heard him as his voice blasted out the title of the Falcons' "I Found a Love" in 1962. But no group could hold him long: he went solo and signed with Atlantic, America's top soul label, and in 1965 they had the bright idea of sending him to Memphis to cut some tracks with Booker T. and the MGs, whose guitarist, Wilson Pickett's first number-one single, "In the Midnight Hour," was co-written by Steve Cropper. Steve Cropper, cowrote Pickett's first number-one single, "In the Midnight Hour." From there the hits just kept on coming: "Mustang Sally," "Land of 1,000 Dances," and "Funky Broadway" -- 38 records on the pop charts alone. It makes you wonder what John Lennon made of Pickett's wild remake of "Hey Jude"!
