"Wilson Pickett" was an United States/American rhythm and blues/R&B, soul music/soul and rock and roll singing/singer and songwriter.
A major figure in the development of American soul music, Pickett recorded over 50 songs which hit the US R&B charts, and frequently crossed over to the US Billboard Hot 100/Billboard Hot 100. Among his best known hits are "In the Midnight Hour" (which he co-wrote), "Land of a Thousand Dances/Land of 1,000 Dances", "Mustang Sally (song)/Mustang Sally", and "Funky Broadway".
The impact of Pickett's songwriting and recording led to his 1991 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Berry Gordy believed in owning the artist for life and controlling everything: the money, the station wagons, everything.
