Music by Otis Redding from the album "Remember Me." Buy or listen: [ Ссылка ]

Otis Redding was the quintessential Southern soul singer. Not only has his emotion-gripping Georgia-hewn style come to epitomize the Stax/Volt Memphis sound of the Sixties, but as a vocalist, songwriter, and arranger, he played a key role in shaping it.
Remember Me” was compiled by Roger Armstrong from the Stax/Volt library of tapes purchased in 1977 by Fantasy Records and annotated by leading Stax authority Rob Bowman. The album, released in 1992 on Stax Records, affords a fascinating and ultimately rewarding glimpse into the soul titan’s genius at work in the studio.
Of the 22 selections included in “Remember Me,” 14 were previously unheard diamonds—some polished, others still rough—spanning Redding’s five-year association with Stax Records. A number of the performances, including the driving “Trick or Treat” and the haunting title track, are so fully realized that it’s a wonder they weren’t released at the time. Three are covers, with Little Richard’s “Send Me Some Lovin’” and Sam Cooke’s “Cupid” being heartfelt Redding tributes to his two primary stylistic mentors.
Seven tracks are alternate takes or remakes of previously released Redding songs, including such all-time classics as “Respect,” “Try a Little Tenderness,” “I’ve Got Dreams to Remember,” and “(Sittin’ on the) Dock of the Bay.” The remake of “Respect” is taken at the breakneck tempo Redding favored in live performance, while the other three are presented in embryonic form. “I’ve Got Dreams to Remember” is delivered with wife Zelma Redding’s original lyrics, with different chord changes on the bridge, and without the background vocals that were dubbed onto the issued version. The two early treatments of “Dock of the Bay,” Redding’s biggest hit, dispel the myth that he began whistling near the end because he forgot his own lyrics; he was whistling all along, though it took him a while to perfect his pucker.
