Tuesday, August 10, 2010: Otis Redding - I Can't Turn You Loose
Performed live in 1966 on the British TV show "Ready, Steady, Go".
If someone wanted me to define cool, I would first point them to Miles Davis.
But, the close second would be this Otis Redding performance. Cool is everywhere, from Otis himself, his voice, his huge stage presence, that suit, his backing band on scaffolding (very cool), go go dancers (sexy cool), the whole British audience trying desperately to keep time (funny cool), cool saturates this performance.
Seriously, If THIS does not get your toes tapping, your spirit lifted and your frown turned upside down, then you have no soul, no character, and you are not worth knowing.
That is all.
