Otis Redding : an unfinished life / Jonathan Gould. by Gould, Jonathan, 1951- Crown Archetype, 2017. Call #: 781.644092 R313g Subjects Redding, Otis, 1941-1967.   Soul musicians -- United States -- Biography.   Musicians, Black -- United States -- Biography.   Singers, Black -- United States -- Biography.   Singers -- United States -- Biography.   Lyricists, Black -- United States -- Biography.   Lyricists -- United States -- Biography. ISBN:  9780307453945 (hc.) Edition:  First edition. Description:  viii, 533 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 503-516) and index. Summary:  "Otis Redding remains an immortal presence in the canon of American music on the strength of such classic hits as "(Sittin' on) The Dock of the Bay," "I've Been Loving You Too Long," "Try a Little Tenderness," and "Respect," a song he wrote and recorded before Aretha Franklin made it her own. As the architect of the distinctly southern, gospel-inflected style of rhythm & blues associated with Stax Records in Memphis, Redding made music that has long served as the gold standard of 1960s soul. An aura of myth and mystery has always surrounded his life, which was tragically cut short at the height of his career by a plane crash in December 1967. In chronicling the story of Redding's life and music, Gould also presents a social history of the time and place from which they emerged. His book never lets us forget that the boundaries between black and white in popular music were becoming porous during the years when racial tensions were reaching a height throughout the United States. A portrait of Redding and the mass acceptance of soul music in the 1960s - a revealing look at a brilliant artist and a provocative exploration of the tangled history of race and music in America that resonates strongly with the present day"--Provided by publisher.
