I've Been Loving You
Otis Redding, Singer
CATEGORY: MUSIC TAG: OLDIES
Through a recorded legacy that spans a mere six years (less than a decade?) but is filled with classic after classic, the man whose distinctive music influenced British rock stars and his American soul music peers alike continues to be accorded and afforded the global recognition and (borrowing the title of one of his most enduring compositions) respect he richly deserves. And beyond those precious recordings (mostly cut in Memphis at Stax Records between 1963 and 1967), there is The Big “O” Youth Educational Dream Foundation, created by his widow, Mrs. Zelma Redding which reflects the deeply held commitment her husband expressed to giving back to the community with a special emphasis on education.
