Otis Redding's third album presents his talent unfettered, his direction clear and his confidence emboldened, with fully half the songs representing a reach that extended his musical grasp
More than a quarter of this album is given over to Redding's version of songs by Sam Cooke, his idol, who had died the previous December
"Otis Redding Sings Soul" is considered by many critics to be Redding's first great album
The styles of Cooke and Redding couldn't have been more different; Cooke smooth and sure, Redding raw and pleading
But Redding's versions of "Shake" and "A Change Is Gonna Come" show how Cooke's sound and message helped shape Redding's Southern soul sound
Redding's singing reaches a new level of expressiveness with this as well as with covers of B.B. King's "Rock Me Baby" and the Motown hit "My Girl"
