Wicked Pickett, nació el 18 de marzo de 1941 en Prattville, Alabama. En Detroit se unió al grupo musical "Falcons", con quienes interpretó su famoso éxito de 1962 'I found a love'. También conocido como "Wicked Pickett" ("El malvado Pickett", en inglés), en 1965 firmó un contrató en solitario con la compañía "Atlantic", con quien grabó su éxito 'In the midnight hour' y que escribió junto a Steve Cooper. Se convirtió en una de las más grandes estrellas del mundo del soul, del típico soul de Menphis de los años 60s. Temas como "In the Midnight Hour," "Land of 1000 Dances," "Mustang Sally," y "Funky Broadway" le hicieron llegar a lo más alto en las listas de éxitos de rhythm & blues. Fue una importante influencia para los Rolling Stones. Wilson Pickett falleció el 19 de enero de 2006 de un ataque al corazón a los 64 años.
