Although a substantial amount of time has passed since Otis Redding's untimely death in December of 1967, his passing still ranks as one of rock's all-time greatest tragedies--here was a soul singer who was widely considered to be the greatest, cut down only after a few albums. To compensate for the lack of unheard material, record companies have repackaged Redding's music as compilations ever since his passing. One of the best, Rhino Record 's 1993 release THE VERY BEST OF OTIS REDDING is positively essential. Not a single weak track is present on an album that features such timeless standards as "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay," "These Arms of Mine," and others.

After the success of Rhino's first collection, a follow-up set was issued two years later in 1995, THE VERY BEST OF, VOL. 2. While there aren't that many certified hits left to choose from, the collection still contains many a soulful highlight. While several covers are featured (the Temptations' "My Girl," the Beatles' "Day Tripper," James Brown's "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag," among others), several oft-overlooked originals prove to be the real standouts--"Hard to Handle," "Security," and "That's What My Heart Needs."
