The Great Otis Redding Sings Soul Ballads

Volt / Stax remastered MONO LP from Rhino Records STAX 60th anniversary celebration. One of the most influential soul singers of the 1960s, Otis Redding exemplified to many listeners the power of Southern "deep soul" -- hoarse, gritty vocals, brassy arrangements, and an emotional way with both party tunes and aching ballads. At the time of his tragic death at the age of 26, Redding was on the verge of

He was also tremendously respected by many white groups, particularly the Rolling Stones, who coveredRedding's "Pain in My Heart."(Excerpted from Allmusic.com)The Great Otis Redding Sings Soul Ballads is the second studio album by American soul singer-song writer Otis Redding, released in 1965.
