I'll be honest with everyone. I love raw shows. Otis was as raw as it got. People like James Brown, Jackie Wilson, Sam Cooke, Otis Redding ,and many others, There were no damn gimmicks. No props for the stage like now. There were pure soul. They need to bring that back now.
Sadly Mr. Redding grew-up and lived during the segregation. His song "on the dock of the bay" is an example of his awareness of slave-filled-ships coming to America. Indeed he was loved by both black and white equally, and he'll always, always be on our minds, and our thoughts.
Man i wish singers could sing like this nowadays!!! The closest we have to this is Anthony Hamilton, and while I love him, he's no Otis, Sam or al Green!
Theres still some great male sangers in the industry like Anthony Hamilton, John Legend, Raheem Devaughn, and i really cant thank of no more, cuz it really aint the many GREAT male sangers
@CoCoYvette o yea cant forget about maxwell. I dont know what happened to the real male artist, seem like dey jus died off after the 90s. And not many are around nowadays.
what a pity the man is taken far to early from us. I'm sure with years to come he would have made more of this beautiful music. thats hard to find these days
Un petit bonheur, entre autres, que mon Fils de 28 balais bientôt vient de mapporter . moi vieux Woodstockien nanar retardé de 58 balais (qui na malheureusement pas été à Woodstock ni à Monterey).
Depuis toujours je faisais écouter Otis à mon Fils, dès son Enfance et jusquà quil prenne son propre envol. Je voyais bien que cela le gonflait un peu quelquefois.
Et puis, hier soir, il ma appris quil était devenu un Fan de mon Otis.
Sounds so soul... nah

the English loved Otis. see the crowd clapping.
Much bigger than in USA.
Then came Monteray where he got a big boost.
There are no superlatives to describe Otis.
A pure soul man. Missed dearly by millions.
Love you Otis.............
