I've definitely hit that part of the summer. The part when I've been sitting around a bit too long, and it's not close enough to be thinking about the next school year. doesn't help that I haven't slept much and it's 80 outside. On to Otis:
Great album, another one of the great voices of Rock and Roll. Of course, Otis is also known for his untimely death. His legacy, Sittin' On the Dock of a Bay, was recorded days before his plane crash and became his only number 1 hit. But, that song is not on this album, but don't fret it's still a great album. Otis puts so much passion, so much emotion into his singing that he forces you to pay attention to his lyrics. One of the pioneers of soul music, his style inspired a great deal future artists. Hi music is covered and referenced on a regular basis, but the most famous cover that you know is Respect. Take a listen to this great album, two more posts coming soon...
