'Otis Blue: Otis Redding Sings Soul'


When Otis Redding prays “It’s been a long, a long time coming/But I know a change gonna come” from a cover of Sam Cooke’s “A Change is Gonna Come” it makes you hollow. Or at least feel hollow.

You realize it’s a broken man seeking salvation. He sings with such conviction and soul. Never has a man had the blues so bad.
