Otis Redding
Author: Jonathan Gould
Publisher: Crown
ISBN: 0307453952
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 546
Book Description
The long-awaited, definitive biography of The King of Soul, timed to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Redding's iconic performance at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival. Otis Redding remains an immortal presence in the canon of American music on the strength of such classic hits as “(Sittin’ on) The Dock of the Bay,” “I’ve Been Loving You Too Long,” “Try a Little Tenderness,” and “Respect,” a song he wrote and recorded before Aretha Franklin made it her own. As the architect of the distinctly southern, gospel-inflected style of rhythm & blues associated with Stax Records in Memphis, Redding made music that has long served as the gold standard of 1960s soul. Yet an aura of myth and mystery has always surrounded his life, which was tragically cut short at the height of his career by a plane crash in December 1967. In Otis Redding: An Unfinished Life, Jonathan Gould finally does justice to Redding’s incomparable musical artistry, drawing on exhaustive research, the cooperation of the Redding family, and previously unavailable sources of information to present the first comprehensive portrait of the singer’s background, his upbringing, and his professional career. In chronicling the story of Redding’s life and music, Gould also presents a social history of the time and place from which they emerged. His book never lets us forget that the boundaries between black and white in popular music were becoming porous during the years when racial tensions were reaching a height throughout the United States. His indelible portrait of Redding and the mass acceptance of soul music in the 1960s is both a revealing look at a brilliant artist and a provocative exploration of the tangled history of race and music in America that resonates strongly with the present day.

Making Friday Fun Again
Author: John H Murphy II
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN:
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
What I can tell you is, Wichita is very blessed to have popcorn on Friday’s, and for the tradition to have continued for so long. I miss and loved popcorn Friday, for not only the wonderful popped corn by Lek, but the songs that Mr. Murphy would share! - Dan Boen (Senior Manager, Wilson, NC) Once again, Mr. Murphy has brought to life the experience that is working at Collins. He is at once the bringer of humor and laughter, but also the mischievous jester that is always looking for more ways to bring fun to the possible doldrums of everyday work. For those of us that have been here a while, we have been through much change, and a little popcorn ditty goes a long way in bringing light and joy to the day-to-day routine. But the source songs - and the alternative lyrics - show you how much thought goes into this Friday fun. And some will surprise and delight to the point you may burst out laughing, jealous that you don’t have your own Friday popcorn song at your job! – Dhanna Birner (Customer Service Representative) I am John’s most vocal critic. Despite my limited background in music, having spent five years reluctantly playing trombone in junior high/high school band and no singing experience, I felt it my duty to share my opinion with John. While I do appreciate music, I must admit that I am not an expert when it comes to singing groups or their music and I have been accused in the past of lacking knowledge in this area. I must commend John for his creativity and his boldness in entertaining others, such as his weekly performance of the popcorn r song over the intercom. I personally wouldn’t even dare to attempt such a feat. However, John, it is my sincere belief that you could benefit from voice lessons. – Wade Klink (Avionics Technician)
