Two exceptional albums tonight, both with links to Memphis.
Otis Redding recorded Otis Blue over a weekend in 1965 for Stax with Steve Cropper, Donald Duck Dunn, Wayne Jackson and Al Jackson.
Dusty Springfield recorded Dusty in Memphis for Jerry Wexler in 1968, although the title maybe somewhat misleading, as we will discover. The latter featured Dusty's meticulously chosen song list from Goffin & King, Randy Newman (who will feature in a later programme), Bacharach & David and Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil, amongst others.
David Hepworth and Johnnie Walker have different views on the albums but adore the great tracks including Son Of A Preacher Man, Breakfast in Bed, So Much Love, Respeect, I've Been Loving You Too Long and Satisfaction.
