I wanted to post in the same as the jazz post below about another musical love of mine. Someone i cant get enough of both in video (which there is few good videos of) and auditory.

Otis Redding. The Glorious man that he was, similar i think also to a Bison in majesty. His tone, though gravely was a change, a difference to the soft and even tones of the Motown and more pop oriented moments of soul. His voice with its incredible character. The arrangements by him and the Stax etc. Adding more spice then the world knew what to do with.

Its growing is an Otis song from 1966 about the spreading capacities of love. well my love for Otis grows as well, everyday it grow a little bit stronger. You-tube is a great resources of his television appearances from his short Carrier and one of the most hilarious ones is this from a show from england called Ready Steady Go, here is a clip of Otis singing Satisfaction, My Girl (my favorite rendition) and Respect.
