The newest and most distinguished record store to open up in Los Angeles, THE RECORD PARLOUR–in the heart of Hollywood–offers a unique music experience. On Tuesday, September 15, THE RECORD PARLOUR will host an exclusive 50^thanniversary celebration of Otis Redding’s landmark soul record Otis Blue: Otis Redding Sings Soul from 7:00-10:00pm.

On the night of the event, Sept. 15–which is 50 years to the date from the original album release in 1965–guests will enjoy a listening party for the classic album andKCRW’s Jeremy Sole and Jason Joseph (DJ Three) will spin the best in soul vinyl all night long. Open bar and appetizers will be served from 7-10:00pm.

With his powerful voice and boundless energy, Otis Redding helped define the sound of Sixties soul like no other male singer. Before his untimely death, the Georgia singer recorded an unrivaled body of work with the Stax Records house band that includes such incomparable classics as “Try A Little Tenderness,” “Pain In My Heart” and the #1 hit “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay.”

Undoubtedly, the big O’s crowning achievement was Otis Blue: Otis Redding Sings Soul. Released on September 15, 1965, this landmark album celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. Redding recorded the majority of Otis Blue in a whirlwind 24-hour studio session in July of 1965, backed by the Booker T. & The MG’s, Isaac Hayes, and the Mar-Key horns. The album went on to top the R&B charts behind such iconic singles as “I’ve Been Loving You Too Long,” his take on The Rolling Stones classic “Satisfaction,” and “Respect,” a song famously covered two years later by Aretha Franklin. Otis Blue continues to be recognized as one of the most important recordings ever, being recognized by both Rolling Stone and Timemagazine as one of the greatest 100 albums of all time.
