Description

Otis Redding’s extraordinary southern soul voice resonates as a thing of profound beauty and unfathomable emotional depth. His unique vocal delivery gave Motown’s pop artists a run for their money, while his stage presence matched James Brown for sheer entertainment value. Redding quickly rose from obscurity, and was poised for major crossover success. However, on Dec. 10, 1967, he was killed when his private plane crashed. ‘(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay’, recorded just a week earlier, went straight to No. 1. Here, Brown talks to Stax illuminati Booker T. Jones, Isaac Hayes and David Porter, plus many others, about his tragically brief life, infectious personality and incredible talent. “A wonderful testament to this greatly loved artist.” Photos.
