Otis died at only 26.  Such a tragedy.  It sure does seem that way too many geniuses die way too young.  And it isn't as if this is a recent phenomenon: Mozart only 35; Schubert, 31; Schumann was still relatively young and could have produced so much more when he died at 46; I've outlived Beethoven's age; Chopin at 39; Gershwin at 38; Mendelssohn also 38; von Weber at 39; Bizet, 36; Paul Chambers (jazz bassist) at 33; Fats Navarro (jazz tumpet) 26; Charlie Christian, 25; Clifford Brown (jazz trumpet) at 25; Jaco Pastorius at 35; Charlie Parker at 34.  I've also outlived Paganini who died at 58.  Bach is one standout exception as he lived to be 65 and produced not only a ton of fantastic music but also offspring who also produced lots of great music.  So, it's not just a rock 'n roll/drug phenomenon.
 
Thanks for the mention of someone who died just as I was learning about him and following him in publications like Downbeat magazine.  Maybe the first "tragic" loss that I felt as a younger person.  Being a (mediocre) tuba player, I marveled at bass players of every kind (classic doubles, slapping stand-ups, Sting, Jaco, the jass bassist in the high school jazz band)...I envied all of them!

I think this is a testament to his talent...  You can just make out the crowd moving their heads to his playing!

He was only 26??? Wow! I had a date to go see him the night he died, flying out of Cleveland, with the Bar-Kays, but I canceled the date before the show and missed the last chance to see him {#Arghhh}

Died at 26 - THAT'S the voice of a young man. He should be in the heartbreakingly tragic 27 club regardless.

Great observation - I never dreamed that one day we would have the internet and RP to set things right.

I understand what you mean, but that is extremely self-limiting.  Why does there need to be a next Beatles, Stones, Dylan, Hendrix, et. al.?   There could very well be something around the corner that will blow all of those out of the water just like they did to the crooners, pops and barbershop guys.

Look forward to being amazed, not to having what you adore now recycled.  Artists like Porcupine Tree (just to name one example) are out there on the commercial fringe pushing the edges.

I hear you, cc!

I saw Booker T. Jones (the Booker T.) at Coachella, backed up by the Drive-By Truckers. It just reinforced my feeling that the best music of my lifetime came in my early youth (1960s-1970s). Seeing Paul McCartney and Leonard Cohen there also buttressed this feeling.

Not that there's no good music coming out now. Thanks to Bill and RP, my musical horizons are broader than they used to be.

It's just that there's no "next" Beatles, Stones, Dylan, Hendrix, Dead, WattStax, MoTown, Muscle Shoals Sound, et alii, to look forward to.

I'm a big U2 fan, but now the music biz is looking for a successor for them. The default seems to be Coldplay. That is the punchline to a bad joke. {#Rolleyes}

Regarding recording only one song, but one reply: "Try a Little Tenderness" from Otis Live in Europe. Lots o' others, but that is Epic. Not sure where Epic is in relationship to Godlike, but is very good.

But this may be the song they had in mind when the genre was dubbed "Soul Music." Godlike.

BTW, we needs us some Delbert on RP!


Didn't the late Buddy Miles do a version also?

A pretty rare example of Jonesy being exactly right on the money.
