Biografía:
Wilson Picket (1941-2006) tiene su nombre grabado en oro entre los más grandes del soul.Como muchos otros, comenzó a interesarse por la música gracias al gospel que se cantaba y se sigue cantando en las misas de la comunidad negra de EEUU.
Picket realizó sus mejores grabaciones en el sello Stax de Memphis (Tennesse),donde también grababa Ottis Redding. Allí formó equipo con el extraordinario guitarrista de los MG´s de Booker T. y compositor, Steve Cropper.
