Otis Redding, Ambassador of Soul
This documentary (BBC 4, IPlayer) reminded me just how good Otis Redding was, and the extent of his influence in the UK and Europe. A big man with a lot of soul.
Wish I could have seen the Stax Review when it toured the UK in 1967.
Otis died in a plane crash on December 10, 1967.
