OTIS REDDING My Girl Live Recording

The man with all that soul, my man Otis! This is a fantastic recording with a very tight touring band. Anybody know who was in it? The drummer hardly moves on the stool, but really drives the group with that fat back. Ready Steady Go Tv from 1967.

That is the Bar-Kays (see Soul Finger). They went down with Otis on the plane but 2 of them survived a trumpet player and the bass player who wasn't on the plane. However Carl Cunningham the drumer, who I believe is in the video, was killed in the crash. This band defined the word tight. They were all only 17 and 18 when they passed. They live on in memories. I saw them with Otis in the summer of 1966, almost 46 years ago.

What was it about Otis?

He didn't have a smooth soaring voice like a Sam Cooke and he didn't have the graceful ability to glide across the stage like a James Brown. But there was something incredibly special about him. To me he was the most sincere singer ever. He poured so much of himself into his performances that it couldn't help but touch your heart.

He had a real talent for that. He was poised to become a worldwide superstar right before he died so young.

I first listened to Otis when I bought the Jimi Hendrix/ Otis Redding L<ive at Monterey Pop at age 13. I was a big Hendrix fan but one day I flipped the album over and I was blown away. Otis sang his guts out and his backup band (Booker T) was the tightest band I EVER heard. I snatched up his other live albums (Whiskey, Live in Europe). Years later I met Steve Cropper and I practically threw myself at his feet for having played guitar for my idol and the absolute KING, Otis Redding!
