You call me mr. Pitiful
Baby thats my name now, oh
They call me mr. Pitiful
Thats how i got my fame
But people just don`t understand, now
What makes a man feel so blue, now
coh, they call me mr pitiful
Cause i lost someone just like you, now
They call me mr. Pitiful
This everybody know, now
They call me mr. Pitiful
Most everyplace i go
But nobody seem to understand, now
How can a man sing such a sad song, now
Ooh, when he lost everything
When he lost everything that he had
How can i explain to you
How somebody con get so very blue, now
How can i tell you about my past
When the whole thing won`t end
Mr pitiful
Thats my name, now
They call me mr. Pitiful
Thats how i got my fame
But nobody seems to understand, now
Oh, what make a man feel so blue, now
They call me mr. Pitiful
Cause i'm in love with you, now

Everything is going wrong
I`ve lost everything i had
And i have to sing these sad songs
To get back to her
And i want you
And i want you
And i want you
And i want you
And i want to tell you, my love,
everything's going through my mind
Things i've been singing
And i don't want to sing this song to you
Tonight, i'm going to sing this song to everybody

Otis Ray Redding Jr. (1941-1967) è stato un cantante statunitense di soul, considerato uno dei più influenti artisti del genere. Nato a Dawson, Georgia, Redding iniziò la sua carriera musicale suonando in chiese e locali notturni del sud degli Stati Uniti. Nel 1962 firmò con la Stax Records, dove ottenne il successo con brani come "Respect" (cover di Aretha Franklin) e "Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fine". Il suo stile vocale potente e emotivo, caratterizzato da un'ampia gamma e una straordinaria capacità di interpretazione, lo rese uno dei cantanti soul più amati. Tra i suoi brani più celebri figurano "I've Been Loving You Too Long", "Try a Little Tenderness" e il postumo successo mondiale "(Sittin' on) the Dock of the Bay". La sua tragica morte in un incidente aereo nel 1967, all'età di soli 26 anni, segnò la fine di una carriera promettente e lasciò un vuoto nel panorama musicale. Redding è ricordato come un artista geniale e innovativo che ha contribuito a definire lo stile del soul moderno.
