Otis Redding Radio
created by: Roscoe Otis
February 18, 2009

Music in the tradition of the greatest real soul singer of all time. Otis was not a "soul" singer because he was a "black" performer. Nowadays, "soul" is equated with "urban" or "rhythm and blues" or "black". In actual fact, "soul" refers to the style of music and lyric and inflection and emotion arising from the African-American church music of the first half of the 20th century. Legitimate soul singers are various, but few, and include Sam Cooke, Little Richard, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, James Brown and Luther Ingram. I'm sure that I'm omitting someone, but these are most of the TRUE soul artists.
