Although his life was extremely short, Otis Redding is incredibly important in the history of Soul and Rock & Roll, as he was one of the key figures that managed to successfully blend elements of many different musical genres into the new sounds that would define future generations. Any Otis Redding quiz would start by asking about his nickname. He is often referred to as the “King of Soul” which fully encompasses just how important his brief contribution to the music industry was.

One part of Otis Redding trivia is that his biggest hit was released actually a month after his death, something which is actually quite common, especially among singers and artists who die young in their career. That hit was (Sittin on) The Dock of the Bay, and was easily his largest commercial success, although the importance of Redding to the musical movements of the time as a whole go far beyond one commercially successful single. Redding took the influences he was given, including artists like Little Richard and Sam Cooke, and turned it into something new, and something different which would give birth to hundreds of musical artists that would follow him.

One of the things which set Otis Redding apart from many of his contemporaries is an important Otis Redding quiz point to learn, and this is the fact that he wrote much of his own music. Many of the touring musicians who were popular at the time would rely on playing tested material penned by proven song writers, and while Redding would certainly play those songs as well, he was also extremely passionate about writing his own songs.

Otis Redding trivia must usually unfortunately include the facts of his untimely death. He had been playing in Cleveland with his band, and after leaving the show the plane he was aboard crashed into Lake Monona, Madison WI. Redding, the pilot, four members of his back up band and his manager all died in the crash, and only one person aboard the plane would survive the crash – Ben Cauley who had been a member of the Bar Kays, Otis Redding’s backup band.

Redding continues to be recognized since his death as an important figure in music, including receiving a lifetime achievement award from the Grammy’s, being honoured by the Songwriters and Rock and Roll hall of fame, and by Rolling Stone magazine as one of their hundred greatest artists of all time.

Songs by Sam Cooke $4.78 For all his talent as a writer, it was his voice that carried many a tune. His background as a Gospel singer with the Soul Stirrers gave him the perfect education, and whilst it would be later tracks that ensured his lasting reputation, the songs on this album showcase his vocal abilities at their best. Sam Cooke was destined to be one of the first truly great R&B stars, writing and recording classic songs, yet his early R&B career saw him record cover versions of a variety of material. Tracks such as ‘Ol’ Man River and ‘Ain’t Misbehavin” were not necessarily written with Soul singers in mind, yet in the hands of Sam Cooke they become stirring Soul outings. 12 tracks. Hallmark, 2009.

Sam Cooke at the Copa $15.18 For decades, Sam Cooke at the Copa was a frustrating record. One of a handful of live albums by any major soul artist of its era, it captured Cooke in excellent voice, and was well-recorded — it just wasn’t really a “soul” album, except perhaps in the tamest possible definition of that term. Playing to an upscale, largely white supper-club audience, in a very conservatively run venue where he had previously failed to impress either patrons or the management, Cooke toned down his performance and chose the safest material with which he could still be comfortable. In place of songs like “Feel It,” “Bring It On Home to Me,” or even “Cupid,” which were part of his usual set, he performed numbers like “The Best Things in Life Are Free,” “Bill Bailey,” and “When I Fall in Love” here. True, his renditions may be the versions of any of those songs that any R&B fan will like best, but they always seemed a poor substitute for what’s not here — not just the songs that he didn’t do, but the intense, sweaty presentation, as much a sermon as a concert, the pounding beat, and the crowd being driven into ever-more frenzied delight. All of that is missing, and for decades fans had to content themselves with the contradiction of a beautifully executed live album featuring what might best be called “Sam Cooke lite” — the release of Live at the Harlem Square Club solved that problem, giving us a real Sam Cooke concert, and one of the great soul albums of all time. In the wake of the latter’s release, Sam Cooke at the Copa became much more valuable as a representative of that other side of Cooke’s sound and career — juxtaposed with “Twistin’ the Night Away” were “Frankie and Johnny,” “Try a Little Tenderness,” “Tennessee Waltz,” “This Little Light of Mine” and his performance of Bob Dylan’s “Blowin’ in the Wind” (the song that inspired his own “A Change Is Gonna Come”), most of which, if he’d done his usual set, most likely wouldn’t exist today in concert versions. By itself, this is still not a representative album, but paired with Live At The Harlem Square Club, it is an irreplaceable document. In June of 2003, Sam Cooke at The Copa was reissued in a brilliant sounding hybrid CD/Super-Audio CD that runs circles around all prior editions of the record. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi Performers: Alfred Cobbs – Trombone; Bart Varsalona – Trombone; Bobby Womack – Guitar; Clif White – Guitar; Clifford White – Guitar; Clyde Reasinger – Trumpet;
