I remember being about 10 years old at the family parties and everybody dancing and us kids be in the back room peaking out watching the party. Then, they would call us to come dance. Thats how i know all the ol skool jamz! Those were they days. I'm 24 now and this is my favorite album of all times!

I love Otis Redding but I have just discovered Michael Grimm and love his versions of Otis' songs!
Great Album, Strange Review

The music is great...Otis Redding was a God among men. But, the album reviews seems to have nothing to do with this album. Most of the songs that it mentions are not on this album. Strange.
The essential Essentials

THE defining perfomer at his best. As timeless today as when he recorded these songs. And speaking in the language of many generations.
One of my All Time Favorites!

During the summer of 1968, I drove around in a Buick Century with a 4-track tape player (not an 8 track but a 4 track) and bought this tape on a recommendation of an older friend who was responsible for making me a major music lover. This collections was fabulous! There is no way to explain the experiences I had that summer without a reflection of this as being the soundtrack for my summer. The album still ranks today as one of my top 20 of all time. If you are unfamiliar with Otis Redding, I would recommend this collection above all others I have heard.
Listen to songs like "Try A Little Tenderness", this did a classic build and climax that preceded the song "Stairway To Heaven" by about 4 years and gave anyone who heard it the same feeling. "Dock Of The Bay" released after his death, was his biggest hit, but in my mind every one of these songs are a hit.
The Stax Label did not try to be Motown with this artist and it paid off is spades. A unique sound, a unique artist and a great collection of songs makes this album one for the decades.
Terrific!
