Pickett is, of course, the man doing the <a href="spotify:artist:1W9sjfsJp3TqWFgvScMZdG">Boris Karloff</a> impression on the Halloween hit "Monster Mash." He moved to L.A. in 1961 following his discharge from the army, hoping to become an actor. He joined a singing group called <a href="spotify:artist:7fMx3WpmvazDstCuzKeVY2">The Cordials</a>, and after perfecting his <a href="spotify:artist:1W9sjfsJp3TqWFgvScMZdG">Karloff</a> voice, co-wrote "Monster Mash" with <a href="spotify:artist:7fMx3WpmvazDstCuzKeVY2">Cordials</a> member Leonard Capizzi to take advantage of the Mashed Potato dance craze. The Crypt-Kickers were comprised of <a href="spotify:artist:6r1Xmz7YUD4z0VRUoGm8XN">Leon Russell</a>, Johnny McCrae, Rickie Page, and producer Gary Paxton. Pickett had a few other minor chart singles, but he will forever be known for his one massive hit. ~ Steve Huey, Rovi
