Otis Redding's definitive Southern soul voice resonates down the years as a thing of profound beauty and unfathomable emotional depth. His unique vocal delivery gave Motown's pop artists a run for their money, while his stage presence matched pioneering funk magus - and fellow Georgia native - James Brown for sheer entertainment value. In this book, the author talks to Stax illuminati Booker T. Jones, Isaac Hayes and David Porter, plus many others, about Redding's tragically brief life and incredible talent, celebrated by his posthumous hit, "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay", recorded just days before his death.
