He leo koʻikoʻi ko ka mea hoʻokani a hiki ke hōʻike i ka hauʻoli, ka hilinaʻi, a me ka ʻeha puʻuwai. Hāʻawi ʻo ia i ka makemake a me ke koʻikoʻi i kāna mau leo i hiki ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia kekahi o kāna mau hoa.
He haku mele kaulana ʻo ia me ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i nā mea hiki ke hana i ke kaʻina hoʻopaʻa leo. Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo Redding i ka make ma mua o ke ola, a ua hoʻopuka pinepine ʻia kāna mau leo.
ʻO nā makahiki mua a me nā hoʻomaka o Otis Redding
Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Otis Ray Redding i ka lā 9 o Kepakemapa, 1941 ma Dawson, Georgia. ʻO kona makuakāne he mea ʻai a he haʻiʻōlelo hapa manawa. I ka 3 makahiki o ka mea mele e hiki mai ana, ua ne'e kona 'ohana i Macon, e noho ana ma kahi hale noho.
Ua loaʻa iā ia kāna ʻike leo mua ma Macon's Vineville Baptist Church, e komo ana i ka papa mele. I kona wā ʻōpiopio, ua aʻo ʻo ia i ka hoʻokani pila, ka pahu a me ka piano. ʻOiai ʻo ia i ke kula kiʻekiʻe, he lālā ʻo Otis no ka hui kula kiʻekiʻe. Ua hana mau ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o ka ʻeuanelio o ke kakahiaka Sabati ma WIBB-AM Macon.
I ka makahiki 17 o ke kāne, ua kākau inoa ʻo ia no kahi hōʻike talena ʻōpio i kēlā me kēia pule ma ka Douglas Theatre. ʻO ka hopena, ma mua o kona hoʻopau ʻia ʻana mai ka hoʻokūkū, ua lanakila ʻo ia i ka makana nui o $15 5 mau manawa i ka lālani. Ma kahi o ka manawa like, haʻalele ka mea hoʻokani i ke kula a hui pū me The Upsetters. ʻO kēia ka pūʻali i hoʻokani pū me Little Richard ma mua o ka haʻalele ʻana o ka mea hoʻokani pila i ka pōhaku a me ka mele e hīmeni i ka ʻeuanelio.
Me ka manaʻo e "hele i mua" i kekahi ʻano, neʻe ʻo Redding i Los Angeles i ka makahiki 1960. Ma laila ʻo ia i hoʻomaikaʻi ai i kāna mau mele mele a hui pū me nā Shooters. ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu ua hoʻokuʻu ka hui i ke mele ʻo She's Alright, i lilo i kā lākou mele mua. Akā naʻe, hoʻi koke ʻo ia i Macon. A ma laila ʻo ia i hui pū ai me Johnny Jenkins a me kāna hui ʻo Pinetoppers.
ʻO Otis Redding Career
Ua hoʻomaka ʻo Fortune e ʻakaʻaka i ka mea pena i ka makahiki 1965. I Ianuali o ia makahiki hoʻokahi, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo ia ʻo That's How Strong My Love Is, i lilo i mea pāʻani R&B. A ʻo Mr. Ua hala ʻo Pitiful i ka Pop Top 40 ma ka helu 41. Akā ua lōʻihi koʻu aloha iā ʻoe (To Stop Now) (1965) i ka helu 2 ma R&B, a lilo i mea mele mua loa i paʻi i ka pop top 40, piʻi i ka helu 21.
I ka hopena o 1965, ua lilo ʻo Otis i mea makemake nui ma ke ʻano he mea pena. Ua kālele ʻo ia i kāna mau mele mele, ke aʻo ʻana i ka hoʻokani pila a lilo i mea nui i ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana a me ka hana ʻana.
ʻO ka mea pena he mea hoʻokani ola pau ʻole a hele pinepine. He kanaka ʻoihana akamai hoʻi ʻo ia i hoʻokele i kahi keʻena mele a ua hoʻopuka maikaʻi ʻo ia i ka waiwai waiwai a me ka mākeke kūʻai. Ua ʻike ʻo 1966 i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o The Great Otis Redding Sings Soul Ballads a, me kahi hoʻomaha pōkole, Otis Blue: Otis Redding Sings Soul.
Kaulana artist
I ka makahiki 1966, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo Otis i kahi mana uhi wiwo ʻole o ka Rolling Stones Satisfaction. Ua lilo ia i mea hoʻokani R&B hou a alakaʻi i kekahi e noʻonoʻo ʻo ka mea mele paha ka mea kākau ʻoiaʻiʻo o ka mele. I kēlā makahiki hoʻokahi, ua loaʻa iā ia ka makana NAACP a hana ʻia ma ka Whiskey A Go Go ma Hollywood.
ʻO Redding ka mea kiʻi ʻuhane nui mua i hana ma kēia kahua. A ua hoʻonui ka leo ʻahamele i kona kaulana i waena o nā poʻe pā pōhaku keʻokeʻo. I kēlā makahiki hoʻokahi, kono ʻia ʻo ia e mākaʻikaʻi iā ʻEulopa a me United Kingdom, kahi i hoʻokipa nui ʻia ai ʻo ia.
ʻO ka mea hoʻolaha mele Pelekane ʻo Melody Maker i kapa ʻia ʻo Otis Redding ka mea hoʻokani leo maikaʻi loa o 1966. He hanohano kēia i loaʻa iā Elvis Presley no 10 mau makahiki i ka lālani.
I kēlā makahiki hoʻokahi, ua hoʻokuʻu ka mea pena kiʻi i ʻelua mau mele ikaika a eclectic: The Soul Album and Complete and Unbelievable: The Otis Redding Dictionary of Soul, kahi āna i ʻimi ai i nā mele pop hou a me nā kūlana kahiko i kāna ʻano ʻuhane. A me kahi puʻupuʻu mai Dictionary of Soul (he wehewehe makemake o Try a Little Tenderness), ua lilo ia i mea nui loa i kēia lā.
ʻO ka manawa hope o ke ola a me ka make o Otis Redding
I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o 1967, hele ʻo Otis i loko o ke keena me ka hōkū ʻuhane ʻo Carla Thomas e hoʻopaʻa i kahi album ma ke ʻano he duo King & Queen, nāna i hoʻokumu i kekahi mau Tramp a Knock on Wood hits. A laila hoʻolauna ʻo Otis Redding i kāna protégé, ka mea leo leo ʻo Arthur Conley. A ʻo ke mele āna i hana ai no Conley, Sweet Soul Music, ua lilo i mea kūʻai maikaʻi loa.
Ma hope o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o Sgt. ʻO ka Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (The Beatles) i ka piko o nā pakuhi, he leo leo nui ka album no ka neʻe hippie. Ua hoʻoikaika ʻia ʻo Redding e kākau i nā mea kumuhana a me ka makemake. Ua hoʻopaʻa ʻo ia i kona kaulana me kahi hana hoʻohiwahiwa ma ka Monterey Pop Festival, kahi āna i hoʻohauʻoli ai i ka lehulehu.
A laila hoʻi ka mea pena i ʻEulopa no nā huakaʻi hou aku. I kona hoʻi ʻana mai, ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia e hana i nā mea hou, me kahi mele āna i manaʻo ai he holomua hoʻomohala, (Sittin 'On) The Dock of the Bay. Ua hoʻopaʻa ʻo Otis Redding i kēia mele ma Stax Studio i Dekemaba 1967. I kekahi mau lā ma hope mai, hele ʻo ia a me kāna hui e hoʻokani i nā ʻaha mele ma Midwest.
Ma ka lā 10 o Kekemapa, 1967, ua kau ʻo Otis Redding a me kāna hui i kona mokulele no ka holo ʻana i Madison, Wisconsin no kahi hui kalapu ʻē aʻe. Ua hāʻule ka mokulele i loko o Monona Lake ma Dane County, Wisconsin ma muli o ka ʻino o ka wā. Ua make ka ulia i ke ola o nā mea a pau ma luna o ka moku, koe wale nō ʻo Ben Cauley o Bar-Kays. He 26 makahiki wale nō ʻo Otis Redding.
ʻO ka haʻi hope o Otis Redding
(Sittin' On) Ua paʻi ʻia ka Dock of the Bay i ka makahiki 1968. Ua lilo koke ia i poʻokela nui loa a ka mea pena, ʻo ia ke poʻo o ka papa mele pop a lanakila i ʻelua Grammy Awards.
I Pepeluali 1968, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻo The Dock of the Bay, kahi hōʻuluʻulu o nā mele mele a me nā haku mele ʻole. I ka makahiki 1989, ua hoʻokomo ʻia ʻo ia i ka Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
