“Considering its place and statue in soul music’s history, the surviving participants in the recording of Otis Blue make its creation sound much like a happy accident. Wayne Jackson’s view of Redding’s sessions was that ‘Otis came in the studio and started making songs, putting songs together out of the top of his head. They came together and whoever packaged them, I guess, put ‘em together. Otis never thought, I’ll do an album called Otis Blue. He was just cutting complete songs’” (Geoff Brown, Otis Redding: Try A Little Tenderness, 2001). Listed on the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress.
