Lonan3 Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Bobby Pickett, whose Monster Mash hit in 1962 made him one of the biggest one-hit wonders in the history of pop music, has died in Los Angeles at age 69. Picket died on Wednesday after a long battle with leukaemia. The novelty song, which featured an impression of horror-movie actor Boris Karloff, was an instant hit when it was released before Halloween 1962 It charted again in August 1970 and May 1973. Pickett never recreated the success of Monster Mash but remained in demand for Halloween performances, continuing to perform until his final gig in November 2006.
