	New Georgia Encyclopedia: Otis Redding (1941-1967)
		Otis Redding became one of the most admired and influential soul musicians, and he is still praised by many as the greatest popular-music vocalist ever to call Georgia home.
		Redding's crossover appeal to white audiences expanded with the release of "Try a Little Tenderness" and his version of the Rolling Stones' hit song "Satisfaction." In June 1967 Redding was the only soul act to appear at the Monterey Pop Festival in California.
		Redding was honored in Macon with a seven-foot statue, which was unveiled at Gateway Park, the trailhead for the city's Ocmulgee Heritage Greenway.

		Although Redding at his peak was viewed as a consummate, versatile showman, he began his recording career in the early '60s as a Little Richard-styled shouter.
		Redding's biggest triumph, however, came just days before his death, when he recorded the wistful "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay," which represented a significant leap as far as examination of more intensely personal emotions.
		Redding, however, had perished in a plane crash in Wisconsin on December 10, 1967, in an accident that also took the lives of four members from his backup band, the Bar-Kays.

		Redding’s state of mind at the time of the recording is evident in the calm, languid feel of the song.
		Redding was a huge fan of The Beatles' Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, and hoped that “Dock Of The Bay” would be seen as fitting in with the mood of that album.

		Redding was raised in Macon, Georgia, where he was deeply influenced by the subtle grace of Sam Cooke and the raw energy of Little Richard.
		Redding became a de facto leader presiding over a band that would prove as influential as the great rhythm-and-blues aggregations that preceded it, units associated with Ray Charles and James Brown.
		Redding proved to be an adept duet partner as well; his hits with labelmate Carla Thomas (“Tramp” and “Knock on Wood,” 1967) added to his romantic aura.

	Otis Redding
		Otis Redding was the biggest star of the influential Stax/Volt label, which was based in Memphis, Tennessee, and had several other soul hitmakers on its roster including Sam and Dave, Carla & Rufus Thomas.
		Together with Aretha Franklin (Redding wrote her huge hit "Respect"), he was instrumental in "crossing over" soul music to white audiences.
		Redding does stick with formulas; there are some more 12/8 ballads ("I'll Let Nothing Separate Us"), and as sharp as the house band sounds on numbers like "Your Feeling Is Mine," it's hard to tell the material apart.

	Otis Redding
		The son of a Baptist minister, soul legend Otis Redding spent most of his childhood living in a housing project in Macon, Georgia, where his father attempted to support the family through work at the nearby Robins Air Force Base, but was frequently hindered by chronic poor health.
		Not surprisingly, Otis was given his first opportunity to explore his musical interests as a member of the choir at the Vineville Baptist Church, and established his exceptional abilities at an early age.
		On December 10th, the small plane bearing Redding and six of his associates crashed into Lake Monona in Wisconsin, resulting in the deaths of the pilot and all passengers save for The Bar-Kays member Ben Cauley.

		Redding wrote many of his own songs, which was unusual for the time, often with Steve Cropper (of Stax house band Booker T and the MG's, who usually served as Otis' backing band in the studio).
		The fact that "(Sittin' on) the Dock of the Bay" ultimately became Redding's greatest commercial success is somewhat ironic, not only because its release came after his death, but also because the song is actually a significant stylistic departure from the bulk of his other work.
		Redding was laid to rest in a tomb on his private ranch in Round Oak, Georgia, about 20 miles north of Macon.

		Otis Redding was truly the one and only King of Memphis Soul and this excellent compilation includes most of his big hits.

	Trader Daily § Respect Otis
		Otis Redding Live in Europe "Respect" was so powerfully covered by Aretha Franklin that it's easy to think she wrote it, that it's a woman’s plea, but the trick of this song -- in fact, the brilliance of so much of Otis Redding's music -- is the universality of need.
		Otis Redding's genius was in his voice, easily the most distinctive in the history of soul music.
		"Otis Redding Live in Europe" was recorded in March of 1967 and released that June.

		Otis Redding, along with Aretha Franklin, Sam and Dave, Wilson Pickett and others, formed the core of the Atlantic/Stax Records soul sound of the mid to late 1960's.
		By the time Otis Redding wrote and recorded "Respect" in 1965, he had achieved his signature vocal style; aggressive and distinctly his own.
		Otis was also completely at home with slower ballads such as "I've Been Loving You Too Long" and "Try a Little Tenderness." But despite extremely popular live performances, chart success eluded him.

		Otis Blue is one of the greatest albums of all time, probably in the top ten.
		Redding is equally convincing on slow, gospel-like tunes like "A Change Is Gonna Come" and up-tempo soul stompers like "Respect", and he receives excellent backing by guitarist Steve Cropper and a tight four-man horn ensemble (two trumpets, two saxes).
		Redding's incredible force of personality carries all of his LPs, and they're all quality entertainment, but most of them are erratic.

		Otis Blue: Otis Redding Sings Soul is the third album from Otis Redding and is considered by many critics to be Redding's first great album.
		Redding also covered "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones, recorded in July 1965, only two months after that single was released.
		Redding had never heard the original, which drew inspiration from RandB singers like Redding, and changed some of the words, including singing "satisfaction" as "satisfashion".

		Redding, unlike many of his contemporaries (Solomon Burke, Wilson Pickett, Jerry Butler etc.) never had to deal with changing musical fashion, the difficulties of going out of style, the development of disco and the demise of the soul ballad.

		Redding shaped Stax's signature soul sound, in part by further livening up already high-powered horn charts and heavy rhythms, and in part by simply singing his heart out to a ringing degree.
		The first three collect catalog material, from the early tunes (a great vantage on Redding's forming talent) to "Tramp," his erstwhile hit with Carla Thomas, to the jump-out-of-your-seat energy of Sam Cooke's "Chain Gang." The last CD collects live performances, each of which is distinctly unforgettable.
		Coupled with a vocal musician like Otis Redding, the result is the kind of tight song structure that seems fluid and natural until you give it a really good listen.
