The climb to Otis Redding's success
OR
GGI sit at the desk and I think about how many times I sang this great artist, in the numerous times that I have pronounced the word Amen, a passage released posthumously after the disappearance of Otis Redding on December 10, 1967.
His art, his sensitivity and his own Eastern, in the 26 years of life a track, a very precise line of how the soul should be sang. Before his death, the seven albums tell the climbing of Otis Redding starting from the first publication dated 1961 with the single Shout Bamalama.
In this song the dirty voice, an engaging rhythm and a particularity, a sax that together with the choirs responds to the call shout become the forerunners of a way of conceiving the "soul" soul. Of Otis Redding I am passionate about his life, his love for the family, the way of thinking and making music.
In the book of the great Alberto Castelli Soul To Soul the last telephone call to her sweet Amata Zelma, a poignant phone call in which Otis openly asks the wife to be a "good" person, good for real for real, is told. A moment where everything seemed written, that last sentence, that fleeting moment that can happen to our lives every day.
Otis Redding is present in Module 6 of Siing Premium with the choral arrangement a chapel Amen written by Emanuele Fiammetti.
Today I leave you with this phrase written by William Bell, tribute to King.
“Otis, Otis Redding was his name. Without his song full of soul, this old world will no longer be the same "
William Bell, tribute to King
