Otis Clay está considerado como uno de los más importantes artistas que cultivaron el deep soul y el gospel. Su voz primorosa, impulsaba una imparable mezcla de enérgico fuego y bailable soul, rnb y blues en la misma tradición de aquellos cantantes del viejo soul profundo como Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett y Solomon Burke, una intensidad y pasión que mostraba en cada uno de sus shows en vivo.
Este fue su primer álbum con el sello Hi Records (la casa de Al Green o Syl Johnson), producido por el genio Willie Mitchell. Cuenta con aquella famosa sección de viento, guitarra y coros característicos de la casa discográfica, -la quintaesencia del Memphis soul- en el que se incluía probablemente el mayor hit de su carrera, este tema que hoy recuerdo con vosotros (versioneado por Bob Seger). Curiosamente, aunque obtuvo su mayor éxito en Memphis durante la primera mitad de la década de los setenta, siempre se le ha considerado como el rey del soul de Chicago. El intenso estilo vocal de Otis le ha convertido en el orgulloso abanderado de la tradición en una ciudad llena hasta rebosar de legendarios artistas.
I used to smoke five packs of Cigarettes a day
It was the hardest thing to put them away
i drank four or five bottles of wine
I kept a glass in my hand all the time
Breaking those habit was hard to do
But nothing prepared me for the changes
That you put me through
Tryin' to live my life without you babe
Its the hardest thing i'll ever do
Try and forget the love we once shared (yeah)
Its the hardest thing i'll ever do
I had the worst reputation in town
For chasin' all the women around
I thought changin' my way of livin' was hard to do
But theres nothing could prepare me for the changes you put me through
I've done everything i tried to do
But its gonna take a miracle to get me over you
Tryin' to live my life without you babe
Its the hardest thing i'll ever do
Try and forget the love we once shared (yeah)
Its the hardest Burden i'll ever know
Tryin' to live my life without you babe
Its the hardest thing i'll ever do
Try and forget the love we shared
Its the hardest Burden i'll ever know
Tryin' to live my love without you babe
Hardest thing i'll ever do
Try and forget the love we shared
Its the hardest burden i'll ever know
Tryin' to live my life without you babe
Its the hardest thing i'll ever do
Try and forget the love we shared
Its the hardest Burden i'll ever know.
