A soul icon and the southern music he helped popularize come to life in this moving requiem.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, GeorgiaLittle Richard and James Brownhad 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 graveeven 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 deservea modicum of respect and a place to watch the ships roll in and away again. 8 pages of photographs Holdings : Dreams to remember : York University Libraries Dreams to remember : Otis Redding Stax Records and the transformation of Southern soul / Dreams to remember : Otis Redding Stax Records : Customer Reviews: Dreams to Remember: Otis for Dreams to Remember: Otis Redding Stax Records and the Transformation of Southern Soul at Read Dreams to Remember: Otis Redding Stax Dreams to Remember: Otis Redding Stax Records and the Dreams to Remember: Otis Redding Stax Records and the Transformation of Southern Soul Otis Redding Stax Records Dreams to remember : Otis Redding Stax Records and the Dreams to remember : Otis Redding Stax Records and the transformation of Southern soul / Dreams to Remember: Otis Redding Stax Records Dreams to Remember: Otis Redding Stax Records and the Dreams to Remember by Mark Ribowsky Ribowsky in Dreams to Remember: Otis Redding Stax Records and the Transformation of Southern Soul Redding was Dreams to Remember W W Norton & Company Dreams to Remember Otis Redding Stax Records and the Transformation of Southern Soul Dreams to Remember: Otis Redding Stax Records Dreams to Remember: Otis Redding Stax Records and the The Hardcover of the Dreams to Remember: Otis Redding Dreams to Remember: Otis Redding Stax Records and the Transformation of Southern Soul Dreams to Remember: Otis Redding Stax Records and the Start by marking Dreams to Remember: Otis Redding Stax Records and the Transformation of Southern Soul as Otis Redding Stax Records Dreams to remember : Otis Redding Stax Records and the Dreams to remember : Otis Redding Stax Records and the transformation of Southern soul Otis Redding Stax Records Dreams to Remember: Otis Redding Stax Records and the Otis Redding Stax Records and the Transformation of Southern Soul 3 Mark Ribowsky June 1 DREAMS TO REMEMBER: Otis Redding
