This is a wonderful two-disc overview of
Otis Redding
's brief career, and it hits most of the high points, including such classics as
"Respect,"
"Try a Little Tenderness,"
"Pain in My Heart,"
and
"(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay."
Also included are
Redding
's near-definitive version of
Sam Cooke
's
"A Change Is Gonna Come"
and the gorgeous (and heartbreaking)
"I've Got Dreams to Remember,"
a
original. ~ Steve Leggett
