Wilson Pickett

Known as "Wicked Pickett," this legendary singer was a powerhouse of 1960s soul and R&B music. His raw, energetic vocal delivery, often punctuated by screams, defined the gritty Southern soul sound and produced numerous timeless hits that remain influential today.

Active across many decades beginning in the mid-fifties, his peak commercial success dominated the mid-sixties. Around nineteen sixty-six, he released iconic R&B tracks recorded with legendary session musicians, including signature driving soul anthems perfect for cruising, like his famous hit cover about a certain fast car and the woman driving it.
