LABEL: Goldwax 106 (B-side of "There Goes My Used To Be"), 1964.Lagi・・・(・∀・)
INFO: O.V. Wright was one of the Memphis soul singers that most retained his original gospel roots on his R&B records. This soul classic was written by Roosevelt Jamison and alternate stories have him being rejected by Jim Stewart upon bringing the demo tape of Wright singing the song to Stax. Another, and to me more likely, story has Jamison bringing just the lyrics to Stax and seeing Steve Cropper, who subsequently kept the words, but without having heard the demo, was forced to come up with a new chord progression. Hence, the 3/4 I-V-IV progression of Otis compared to the 6/8 I-VIm-(IV-V) of O.V. Wright.
NOTES: While I love Otis Redding's version of this song, O.V.'s original is something else entirely. This record has a completely different atmosphere, darker and far more desperate. The guitar work is fantastic and Wright's vocal entry is achingly devastating.
