tight person of the day: otis redding



Otis is simply the best. I feel like you hear every emotion in his voice. It might be that he is two inches from the microphone but I love it. Pure and beautiful. When I hear Otis sing, I want to climb on top of a skyscraper and shout "Testify!" to passersby below. But I can't do that because I will be arrested. Most likely. However, that's what I feel in my heart. Has there ever been anything more gorgeous than "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay?" I think not. Otis was definitely taken too soon and I feel like he could have done even more wonderful things for humanity with his music. I feel like pretty much anyone of any age can enjoy Otis. He's universal, which a lot of artists really can't claim. I mean, I would dance the hell out of him, and so would Pe-Paw Jones in Mississippi. Anyway, here's some Otis to add to your collection or simply to just listen to from your screen and have a happy moment. It really doesn't get any better than this.


Otis Redding - These Arms of Mine
Also the song Swayze does it with that girl to in Road House. CRAZY FOR SWAYZE!
