Album Notes & Community Reviews

This profoundly moving, exceptionally curated collection was released just weeks before the iconic singer's tragic death in a plane crash. Gathering his defining, intensely passionate singles cut with the legendary Stax studio band, Booker T. & the M.G.'s, the album flawlessly encapsulates his unparalleled ability to convey devastating emotional vulnerability. It remains a towering, definitive monument to the absolute zenith of 1960s Southern soul.
