ARTIST BACKGROUND

About Otis Redding

Otis Redding was a Georgia soul singer whose work joined gospel-rooted intensity with blues feeling and accessible song forms. These Arms of Mine introduced his Stax-era recording career, supported by musicians including Booker T. Jones and Steve Cropper. His catalog ranges from the restrained ballad to the escalating arrangement of Try a Little Tenderness and the posthumous Dock of the Bay.
