Otis Redding - Otis Blue / Otis Redding Sings Soul

Written By Colin Mackay

Otis Redding - Otis Blue / Otis Redding Sings Soul

A lot of the Sam Cooke covers are not particularly essential, aside from Shake, which I think has supplanted Cooke’s to become the definitive version. In the same way that Aretha Franklin’s Respect has supplanted the original version here.

Favourites: Down In The Valley • I’ve Been Loving You Too Long • Shake • Rock Me Baby

Other Highlights: Ole Man Trouble • Respect • (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction  • You Don’t Miss Your Water
