  6. And even though I've listened to this song literally half my life, I didn't know until today that that "come back, come back" sample in "Otis" comes from this Otis Redding song (written by Allen Toussaint but credited under pseudonym Naomi Neville, Toussaint's mom's name), the title track of Redding's debut album.

  11. Added to 7/24/26 Bathtub Gin at @[email protected]: I Can't Turn You Loose (Otis Redding) teases from @[email protected] starting at 6:43. h/t to Kyle for this one. #phish #otisredding

  12. Otis Redding, Otis Blue (Otis Redding Sings Soul), 1965 on Volt

    This was Redding's third studio album out in 1965 and became something of a crossover hit. Lots of covers here, including a number of songs Sam Cooke (who had just been killed in late 1964) made popular, but also the Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction." It also had the original of "Respect," later taken over by Aretha Franklin as her own. My copy—via private sale—is the 2012 mono reissue by Sundazed Music, pressed at Rainbo.

    This is the third album by The Prince of Soul to be released after his death in '67. The tracks were mostly recorded in '67 at the legendary Stax Studios in Memphis and released on June 20, 1969. The album was produced by the great Steve Cropper and Otis' backing band was the unrivaled rhythm section of Booker T. & the M.G.'s, along with the blistering horns of the Mar-Keys.

  22. Deep Listening Day #151 — Otis Blue: Otis Redding Sings Soul (1965). I fell in love with Otis during college. he was the first soul singer that I completely embraced. I adored his version of A Change is Gonna Come before I really knew Sam Cooke's original.
