Otis Redding - Now Playing

These ten original recordings capture a soul music meteor who blazed bright but all too briefly. Otis Redding arrived at Stax in 1962 as a roadie, walked out with a recording contract, then became the label's biggest star over a five-year career. Aching ballads, pop tunes, gospel-fired workouts—whatever he sang, Otis made it sanctified. As his producer Steve Cropper said, "Otis was pure. He put everything into it."
