Wilson Pickett (March 18, 1941 – January 19, 2006) was an American R&B, soul and rock and roll 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. Among his best known hits are "In the Midnight Hour" (which he co-wrote), "Land of 1,000 Dances", "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.

Pickett teamed up with established Philadelphia-based hitmakers Gamble and Huff for the 1970 album "Wilson Pickett In Philadelphia", which featured two hit singles, "Engine No.9" and "Don't Let The Green Grass Fool You", the latter selling one million copies.

El Pescador
(Lorenzo Barcelata)

El pescador se hizo a la mar,
lleva en su alma una dulce ilusión,
contento va, porque al remar,
piensa en su amada que en tierra dejó.

Boga Marinero, boga ya,
se perdió de vista el malecón
y su vela blanca sobre el mar,
será su ultimo adios.

De Veracruz, vengo hasta aquí
linda jarocha a cantar mi pregón
de Veracruz, vengo hasta aquí
linda jarocha a cantar mi pregón.

Traigo huachinango cómprelo,
pulpo fresquecito y camarón,
pero en el anzuelo de tu amor
cayó mi corazón.

De Veracruz yo vengo, yo vengo de Veracruz
pero en el anzuelo de tu amor
cayó este pobre corazón.
De Veracruz yo vengo, yo vengo de Veracruz.
Dime que me diste con tu amor mi negrita
que se rindió mi corazón.
De Veracruz yo vengo, yo vengo de Veracruz
pero en el anzuelo de tu amor jarochita
cayó este pobre pescador.

De Veracruz, vengo hasta aquí
linda jarocha a cantar mi pregón
de Veracruz, vengo hasta aquí
linda jarocha a cantar mi pregón.

Traigo huachinango cómprelo,
jaiba fresquecita y camarón
pero en el anzuelo de tu amor
cayó mi corazón.

De Veracruz yo vengo, yo vengo de Veracruz
pero en el anzuelo de tu amor
cayó este pobre corazón.
De Veracruz yo vengo, yo vengo de Veracruz.
Dime que me diste con tu amor mi negrita
que se rindió mi corazón.
De Veracruz yo vengo, yo vengo de Veracruz
pero en el anzuelo de tu amor nene
cayó este pobre pescador.
De Veracruz yo vengo, yo vengo de Veracruz
