Specificatii
When he died in one of rock's string of tragic plane crashes, Otis
Redding was only twenty-six, yet already the avatar of a new kind
of soul music. The beating heart of Memphis-based Stax Records, he
had risen to fame belting out gospel-flecked blues in stage
performances that seemed to ignite not only a room but an entire
generation. If Berry Gordy's black-owned kingdom in Motown showed
the way in soul music, Redding made his own way, going where not
even his two role models who had preceded him out of Macon,
Georgia--Little Richard and James Brown--had gone.Now, in this
transformative work, New York Times Notable Book author Mark
Ribowsky contextualizes his subject's short career within the
larger cultural and social movements of the era, tracing the
crooner's rise from preacher's son to a preacher of three-minute
soul sermons. And what a quick rise it was. At the tender age of
twenty-one, Redding needed only a single unscheduled performance to
earn a record deal, his voice so utterly unique (Atlantic) that it
catapulted him on a path to stardom and turned a Memphis
theater-turned-studio into a music mecca. Soon he was playing at
sold-out venues across the world, from Finsbury Park in London to
his ultimate conquest, the 1967 Monterrey Pop Festival in
California, where he finally won over the flower-power crowd.Still,
Redding was not always the affable, big-hearted man's man the PR
material painted him to be. Based on numerous new interviews and
prodigious research, Dreams to Remember reintroduces an incredibly
talented yet impulsive man, one who once even risked his career by
shooting a man in the leg. But that temperament masked a deep
vulnerability that was only exacerbated by an industry that refused
him a Grammy until he was in his grave--even as he shaped the other
Stax soul men around him, like Wilson Pickett, Sam and Dave, and
Booker T. and The MG's.As a result, this requiem is one of great
conquest but also grand tragedy: a soul king of truth, a mortal man
with an immortal voice and a pain in his heart. Now he, and the
forces that shaped his incomparable sound, are reclaimed, giving us
a panoramic of an American original who would come to define an
entire era, yet only wanted what all men deserve--a modicum of
respect and a place to watch the ships roll in and away again.
