No. 1 Complete & Unbelievable (1966) by Otis Redding
The great Otis Redding’s final album before his untimely 1967 death in a plane crash, this perfect album showcases one of the great performers/vocalists/songwriters of classic soul at his peak. A winning mix of original compositions and stellar covers, it reaffirms the greatness of the southern soul giant for those who may only know Redding for “Try A Little Tenderness” and “Sittin’ On the Dock of the Bay.”
