Ko Otis Redding tetahi o nga kaitoi tino whai mana i puta mai i te hapori waiata Soul Soul i te tekau tau atu i 1960. He reo taratara engari he reo whakaputa te kaihaka e whakaatu ana i te hari, i te maia, i te ngakau pouri ranei. I haria mai e ia te kaingākau me te whakaaro nui ki ana oro he iti noa iho o ana hoa ka rite.
He tangata mohio ano ia ki te tuhi waiata me te mohio ki nga mahi auaha o te mahi rekoata. Ka nui ake te mohio o Redding i roto i te mate i te ora, a ka tukuna ano ana rekoata.
Nga Tau Moata me nga Timatatanga o Otis Redding
I whanau a Otis Ray Redding i te Mahuru 9, 1941 i Dawson, Georgia. Ko tana papa he kai-kauwhau, he kaikauwhau wa-waahi. I te toru o nga tau o te kaiwaiata o muri mai, ka neke tona whanau ki Macon, ka noho ki tetahi whare noho.
I whiwhi ia i tana wheako reo tuatahi i te Macon's Vineville Baptist Church, i uru atu ki te roopu waiata. I a ia e rangatahi ana, i ako ia ki te whakatangi kita, pahū me te piana. I a ia i te kura tuarua, he mema a Otis no te roopu kura tuarua. He rite tonu tana mahi hei wahanga o te haapurororaa rongopai o te ata o te Rātapu i runga i te WIBB-AM Macon.
I te 17 o nga tau o te taangata, i haina ia mo tetahi whakaaturanga taranata taiohi ia wiki i te whare tapere Douglas. Ko te mutunga mai, i mua i tana whakakorenga i te whakataetae, i riro i a ia te taonga matua e $15 5 nga wa ia rarangi. I taua wa ano, ka wehe te kaihaka i te kura, ka uru atu ki The Upsetters. Ko te roopu tenei i whakatangi tahi me Little Richard i mua i te wehenga o te piana i te rock and roll ki te waiata i te rongopai.
Ko te tumanako ki te "haere whakamua" he aha, ka neke a Redding ki Los Angeles i te tau 1960. I reira ka whakanuia e ia ona pukenga tuhi waiata, ka uru atu ki te kapa Shooters. Kaore i roa ka tukuna e te roopu te waiata She's Alright, i noho hei waiata tuatahi mo ratou. Heoi, ka hoki mai ano ia ki Macon. A, i reira i mahi tahi ia me te kaiwaiata Johnny Jenkins me tana roopu Pinetoppers.

I timata a Fortune ki te ataata ki te kaitoi i te tau 1965. I te marama o Hanuere o taua tau ano, i tukuna e ia ko That's How Strong My Love Is, i riro hei R&B. Na Mr. I ngaro a Pitiful i te Pop Top 40 i te nama 41. Engari I'm Been Loving You Too Long (To Stop Now) (1965) i eke ki te nama 2 i roto i te R&B, ka noho ko ia te kaiwaiata tuatahi i eke ki runga ake i te 40, ka eke ki te nama 21.
I te mutunga o te tau 1965, ka kaha ake a Otis hei kaitoi. I arotahi ia ki ona pukenga ki te tuhi waiata, ki te ako ki te purei kita me te kaha ake ki te whakarite me te hanga.
Ko te kaitoi he kaihaka ora, he maha nga haerenga. He kaipakihi mohio ano ia nana i whakahaere he whare puoro puoro me te whakangao moni ki nga rawa me te maakete kararehe. I te tau 1966 te putanga o The Great Otis Redding Sings Soul Ballads, me te wa poto, Otis Blue: Otis Redding Sings Soul.
Te rongonui o te kaitoi
I te tau 1966, i tukuna e Otis he putanga uhi maia o te Rolling Stones Satisfaction. Ka puta ko tetahi atu R&B, a, i kii etahi ko te kaiwaiata te kaituhi pono o te waiata. I taua tau ano, i whakawhiwhia ia ki te tohu NAACP me te mahi i te Whiskey A Go Go i Hollywood.
Ko Redding te kaitoi wairua tuatahi i mahi i runga i tenei atamira. Na te haruru konohete i whakanui ake tona ingoa i waenga i nga kaiwhaiwhai toka ma. I taua tau ano i powhiritia ia ki te haereere ki Uropi me te United Kingdom, i reira i tino harikoatia ia.
Ko te whakaputanga puoro o Ingarangi a Melody Maker i tapaina ko Otis Redding te kaiwaiata pai o te tau 1966. He honore tenei kua whakawhiwhia ki a Elvis Presley mo nga tau 10.
I taua tau ano, ka tukuna e te kaitoi e rua nga pukaemi kaha me te hihiko: The Soul Album and Complete and Unbelievable: The Otis Redding Dictionary of Soul, i tirotirohia e ia nga waiata puoro hou me nga paerewa tawhito i roto i tana momo wairua wairua. I tua atu i tetahi waahanga mai i te Dictionary of Soul (he whakamaoritanga ngakau nui o Try a Little Tenderness), kua noho ko tetahi o ana tino pai ki tenei ra.
Ko te wa whakamutunga o te oranga me te mate o Otis Redding
I te timatanga o te tau 1967, ka haere a Otis ki roto i te taiwhanga me te whetu wairua a Carla Thomas ki te tuhi i tetahi pukaemi ko te Duo King & Kuini, i puta ai he maha o nga mahi a Tramp and Knock on Wood. Katahi a Otis Redding i whakaatu i tana kaitiaki, te kaiwaiata a Arthur Conley. A ko te waiata i mahia e ia mo Conley, Sweet Soul Music, i riro hei hoko pai.
I muri i te tukunga o Sgt. Ko te Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (The Beatles) ki te tihi o nga tutohi, ko te pukaemi he karanga nui mo te kaupapa hippie. I whakahihikohia a Redding ki te tuhi i nga kaupapa kaupapa me nga mea whakahirahira. I whakapumauhia e ia tona ingoa ki te mahi whakahihiko i te Monterey Pop Festival, i reira ka mau i a ia te mano.
Na ka hoki te kaitoi ki Uropi mo etahi atu haerenga. I tana hokinga mai, ka timata ia ki te mahi i nga mea hou, tae atu ki tetahi waiata i kiia e ia he mahi auaha, (Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay. I hopukina e Otis Redding tenei waiata ki Stax Studio i Hakihea 1967. I etahi ra i muri mai, ka haere ia me tana roopu ki te mahi i etahi momo konohete i te Hauauru-uru.
I te Hakihea 10, 1967, ka eke a Otis Redding me tana roopu ki tana waka rererangi mo te rere ki Madison, Wisconsin mo tetahi atu karapu karapu.
