“Otis Redding was a singer of such commanding stature that to this day he embodies the essence of soul music in its purist form,” notes the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame about the legendary artist's 1989 induction.

Recorded in 1965 and released in 1966, Otis Blue was Redding's third LP. Intense, raw and emotional, Otis Blue features a trio of songs Shake, A Change Is Gonna Come and Wonderful World, written by Sam Cooke. Other unforgettable covers include Otis' hit rendition of the Stones' (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction and his sublime take on the Smokey Robinson classic My Girl. Tracks penned by Redding include his own stirring version of Respect, a song that became Aretha's signature, and the phenomenal I've Been Loving You Too Long.
