^Thanks for the read. I got a sense of deja vu - i swear i heard about this throat surgery, etc before.
Ppl are wrong bc if I liked Otis Redding, knowing myself, i would already have a CD.
The problem is not Mr. Redding. It is the time period. Music sounded a little rough and raw in the 50s and 60s due to not yet having developed better recording equip.

It was always the emotion in Redding's voice itself, that impressed me the most. He could cry, express pain, distress, Plead, beg, etc... I would personally rank him close to #1 as one of the greatest.

But of course, not everyone has to like his style.

Otis singing I've Been Loving You Too Long live in London, 1967.

Yesterday I ordered Otis Reddings' The Complete Stax/Volt Singles Collection that was released today on Shout Factory. Found it online for a very nice price.

Here's a short review of it:
