Description

Otis Redding: An Unfinished Life by Jonathan Gould is a comprehensive biography that sheds new light on the life and music of the legendary singer. With exhaustive research, cooperation from the Redding family, and previously unavailable sources, Gould presents a detailed portrait of Otis Redding's background, upbringing, and professional career. The book explores the social history of the time and place in which Redding emerged, revealing how racial tensions were becoming increasingly porous in popular music during the 1960s. This nuanced exploration not only celebrates Redding's brilliant artistry but also probes the tangled history of race and music in America, a theme that remains relevant today. Through Redding's story, Gould offers a fascinating glimpse into the era of soul music, one that was marked by both artistic innovation and social change.
