Otis Redding was the quintessential Southern soul singer. Not only has his emotion-gripping Georgia-hewn style come to epitomize the Stax/Volt Memphis sound of the Sixties, but as a vocalist, songwriter, and arranger, he played a key role in shaping it.
"Remember Me” was compiled by Roger Armstrong from the Stax/Volt library of tapes purchased in 1977 by Fantasy Records and annotated by leading Stax authority Rob Bowman. The album, released in 1992 on Stax Records, affords a fascinating and ultimately rewarding glimpse into the soul titan’s genius at work in the studio.
Of the 22 selections included in “Remember Me,” 14 were previously unheard diamonds-some polished, others still rough-spanning Redding’s five-year association with Stax Records. A number of the performances, including the driving “Trick or Treat” and the haunting title track, are so fully realized that it’s a wonder they weren’t released at the time. Three are covers, with Little Richard’s “Send Me Some Lovin’” and Sam Cooke’s “Cupid” being heartfelt Redding tributes to his two primary stylistic mentors.
Seven tracks are alternate takes or remakes of previously released Redding songs, including such all-time classics as “Respect,” “Try a Little Tenderness,” “I’ve Got Dreams to Remember,” and “(Sittin’ on the) Dock of the Bay.” The remake of “Respect” is taken at the breakneck tempo Redding favored in live performance, while the other three are presented in embryonic form. “I’ve Got Dreams to Remember” is delivered with wife Zelma Redding’s original lyrics, with different chord changes on the bridge, and without the background vocals that were dubbed onto the issued version. The two early treatments of “Dock of the Bay,” Redding’s biggest hit, dispel the myth that he began whistling near the end because he forgot his own lyrics; he was whistling all along, though it took him a while to perfect his pucker.

*******************
Welcome to the official KZbin channel of the King of Soul - Otis Redding. As one of the most influential and powerful singers of the 1960’s, his songs “Sittin on the Dock of the Bay,” “Try a Little Tenderness," “Hard to Handle,” and albums ‘Pain in My Heart,’ ‘Otis Blue’ and ‘Tell the Truth’ are beloved across generations and remain classics to this day.
Born in Georgia, Redding began his career at a young age in school choirs and bands and developed his raw and expressive voice. Redding signed with Volt Records in 1962 after they heard his rendition of “These Arms of Mine” during a recording session with Johnny Jenkins. Over the next few years, Redding released a string of hits, became a tireless live performer, and honed his songwriting abilities before his 1967 death in an unexpected plane crash. Redding became even more famous after his death with the release of his most popular track to date, “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay” and his legacy as the King of Soul lives on.

[@powwowrokstar]

My mom listened to her music of her youth when I was growing up -same with my late father’s rockabilly and honkytonk music, dad was a guitarist. I was a teenage metal head guitarist in the mid 80s. My co guitarist sold me a metal Ibanez bass around 1997. Out came the Stax records and Otis.. incredible voice . Donald Duck Dunn’s basslines though. Take care everyone. Stay safe stay awesome 🌹
