Introduction

The Wicked Pickett’s signature scream established him as a soul icon.

Wilson Pickett had swagger. He was soulful and seductive, but Pickett was most famous for his scream, a powerful belt that he inexplicably kept dead on pitch.

Ensayo del Salón de la Fama

Leo Sacks

Poniendo su volcán de voz sobre un ritmo de fondo despojado, Wilson Pickett era el Midnight Mover original, un hombre y medio para una legión de admiradoras, un Stagger Lee moderno que luchó con el Diablo y salió victorioso.

Rozado, impulsado por el sexo, ponía pasión y dolor en cada grito gutural. Porque no había nada intermedio para Wilson Pickett, el "malvado" Pickett, la sangre y las vísceras del alma sureña.
