Otis Redding - The Definitive Collection (2nd Hand Compact Disc)
Description
Subtitled : The Dock of the Bay.
The Definitive Collection is a compilation album by Otis Redding, released in 1987.
Few voices in the history of popular music have carried quite the raw, aching power of Otis Redding, and The Definitive Collection brings together the recordings that made him the undisputed king of Southern soul. From the pleading urgency of I've Been Loving You Too Long to the gospelled fervour of Try a Little Tenderness and the posthumous, bittersweet perfection of (Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay, every track here is a masterclass in emotional directness and vocal authority.
This is essential listening - a collection that captures one of music's great talents at the height of his powers.
He was & is regarded as one of the greatest singer-songwriters in the history of American popular music and a seminal artist in soul music and rhythm and blues. Tragically he died in a plane crash in 1967.

External Reviews
"Truly amazing talent sadly lost so early. This man had so much more to give as this compilation shows. No record or CD collection is anywhere near complete without this one!. I'm sure Mick and Keef were well pleased when Otis transformed the Stones classic (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction into the most amazing soul classic, just one of 20 classics on this CD." - AllMusic.
