Otis Redding の曲名をハンドル・ネームとして使うくらいなのだから，もちろん Otis の歌は大好きで，↓ のアルバムも十分楽しめたのだが・・・。
● V.A. "Hard To Handle: Black America Sings Otis Redding" [ace CDCHD 1352]
ソングライターとしての Otis は，いくつか傑作があっても，２０曲以上も続けて聴くと・・・(^_^;)
しかも，"Black America Sings ..." という制限をつけてしまったために，サウンド的に Otis のオリジナル・バージョンと似通ったものが多い。
なぜ ↓ のような，単なる "Songwriter Series" として編集しなかったのだろう？ そちらの方が，よほど面白いアルバムになったと思うのだが・・・？
● V.A. "Have Mercy!: The Songs of Don Covay" [ace CDTOP 1341]
それよりも何よりも，なぜ Sam Cooke より Otis Redding の方が先なのか？ という疑問が頭の片隅にこびりついて離れない。いくら，Otis が好きでも・・・(^_^;)
そこで，自分なりに "Black America Sings Sam Cooke" というくくりで選曲してみた。
奇を衒わずオーソドックスな視点で選んだつもり。既に紹介済みの CD に収録されているものや Youtube にアップされているもの，入手しやすいものを中心にしてある。[ ] 内は，Sam Cooke のバージョンのチャート情報。
もちろん，Sam の影響は，Black America にとどまらずアメリカの白人や英欧，そして日本にまで及んでいることは，↓ を見ていただければお分かりいただけるはず。最近は手抜きで，修正や追加の必要な項目が多いが・・・m(_ _)m
