Otis Blue / Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding captured intense creative energy during his sessions at Stax Records. His unvarnished singing style turns every track into a powerful statement, including his take on Respect.

The Memphis studio provides a gritty backdrop for these songs. With support from the Mar-Keys horns and Booker T. & the M.G.'s, the result represents the height of Southern soul in the mid-sixties.
