By 1965, Otis Redding was already a force to be reckoned with, well on his way to earning his King of Soul® title. Then, he released this collection, which is absolutely foundational to any soul vinyl collection.This album includes Otis’ soul-searing lament I’ve Been Loving You Too Long (To Stop Now), a cover of The Rolling Stone’s (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction that is wholly original, the world’s introduction to Respect before Aretha made it her own, and Otis’ perfect versions of My Girl, Wonderful World, and A Change Is Gonna Come, standards like Rock Me Baby and spirituals like Down in the Valley.
