No other Otis compilation quite satisfies the way the old double-LP best-of does, but never mind: any way you hear Redding's many great moments is a good one. The Very Best splits ballads and up-tempo stuff half-and-half, letting you hear the great one's humanity in every mood--the pile-driving rock of "Respect," the preaching fervor of "Try a Little Tenderness," the nascent reflection of "Dock of the Bay." A record collection with no Otis is a poor thing: here's yours. --Rickey Wright

Summary: Otis Redding
Comment: I can't stop playing it. The memory of my teens years come back to me. That was a happy time and Otis was certainly a part of it. My friends and I danced and cried this this wonderful music.

Summary: The great Otis Redding
Comment: When you're in the mood for some soulful music, put this on and you'll be feeling it too. There's nothing else to say that hasn't already been said here except to add, if you own this and "The Dock of the Bay" recording, you own most and the best of Otis Redding.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Best singer of all time
Comment: There can be no doubt who the greatest singer of all time is: Otis Redding. While this compilation omits a lot of Otis' amazing songs (too many to put on a single CD) it serves as a fine introduction to the world's finest singer. Here is a man who sings with more soul than James Brown over music that is more earthy and organic than anything considered "urban" or "country" today.
He's side-by-side with Sam Cooke as one of the two most phenomenal voices ever to grace vinyl.
Otis is one of a kind. Listening to his 'sweet soul music' will elevate your life.
