Biography

edit bio

Wilson Pickett (18 March 1941 – 19 January 2006) was born in Prattville, AL and was an R&B and soul singer and songwriter. He recorded over 50 songs which made the R&B charts, and he recorded many at the Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Sheffield, AL.

Pickett started his music career in gospel, and he said toward the end of his life that he had mixed feelings about abandoning gospel in favor of secular music. He said, “If you leave God and go to the devil, you’re going to go to hell. I don’t know, I wanted to sing gospel, but I wanted to make me some money too.”

Picket was inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1991.
