Otis Redding's definitive southern soul voice resonates down the years as a sound 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 that of pioneering funk magus James Brown for sheer entertainment value. Rising quickly from obscurity and poised for crossover success, he was tragically killed on December 10, 1967 -- only a week after recording the single called "(Sittin' On) the Dock of the Bay" -- when his private plane crashed into Lake Monoma, near Madison, Wisconsin. In this, the first serious book on the soul legend, Geoff Brown talks to Stax illuminati Booker T. Jones, Isaac Hayes, and David Porter, plus many others, about Redding's tragically brief life and incredible talent.

This review is from: Otis Redding: Try a Little Tenderness (Mojo Heroes S.) (Paperback)
again somebody who will not recognize greatness...but feels he has to belittle,criticize and slander otis reddings name.
whats wrong with those kind of people? all is heresay and guesses. the good thing is that we have much better witnesses of reputation, like steve cropper, al bell, wayne jackson, to just name a few.. looks like when somebody has integrity,faith and love like otis redding, nowadays that doesnt make a good story.
