okay, so I think my game plan is to try and post all or most of Otis’ discography starting from the beginning. I’m not sure if I’ll try one song a day, or a week. Let me know if you have any suggestions. But how does that plan sound to everyone?

I’m going to start with Pain In My Heart. Hopefully I don’t get anything really confused or out of order.

TODAY IS THE BIRTHDAY OF THE LOVE OF MY LIFE. He is 72. Otis Redding…can’t believe that I have this connection with an artist who passed away 21 years before I was born. I don’t believe in life after death, but if there is, my first sentence will be, “please show me where is Otis, because I just don’t want to deal with another life without someone like him…without him!” I know, I know, it’s all in my head, how can I know what kind of a person he was in real life bla…and so, and so…but still, please don’t disabuse my delusions logical me !

Happy birthday to the one of the greatest artists that has ever lived ! Happy birthday to a great voice. Happy birthday to a great soul. Happy birthday to my timeless love, Otis.

Happy Birthday Otis, everyone! I hope you all had a great day listening to Otis’ music!

Thank you new and old followers! I want to give you all a GIGANTIC apology for not really posting that much this entire year. I’ve had this blog for about a year and a half, and I really should step it up. I’m starting college at the end of the month, but I’m going to try and post more weekly on here.

Sweet T

Does anyone know where they sell this shirt? Or if there’s just this one? I saw the picture too on the Otis facebook page.

Song of the Day: Florence + The Machine’s cover of Otis Redding’s ‘Try a Little Tenderness’.

Now, I love the original - I am a complete sucker for jazz and soul. But this left me completely lost for words. Honestly, I stopped what I was doing (looking at blouses on Forever 21) and just listened. Truly, truly heartbreakingly gorgeous.

I haven’t heard cover of Otis’s cover yet! I think it’s a beautiful rendition. What do you guys think? :)
