Who was/is Bobby 'Boris' Pickett ? - CDs, Vinyl LPs, DVD and more

Bobby 'Boris' Pickett was born on Feb. 11, 1940 in Somerville, Massachusetts. After an unsuccessful attempt to be-come an actor and comedian, he joined a vocal group, the Cordials. In 1961, Gary Paxton (the lead singer with the Hollywood Argyles of 'Alley Oop' fame) produced Pick-ett's novelty narrative, 'Monster Mash'. It went to No. 1 and was another big hit when revived in the early Seventies. `Mash' and other gory slices from the same cadaver —`Monster's Holiday' and 'Monster Motion' — depended more on Pickett's ability to imitate Boris Karloff than on musical content for their success.
