but for me, otis had that grit that came straight out of the 'Georgia woods'.
he retained that countrified influence and i love that...
it gave his music that difference.
Exactly...I'm a huge fan of Marvin and Sam as well, but Otis was on another level..soul...he carried it with him wherever he went |

There is a better version of "A change is Gonna Come"?

otis was planning on recording a country album before he died...
he never tried to anything he wasn't..
he wasn't slick, urban or pretentious.
he was just otis. |
