Tell the truth


Tell the truth
Tell the truth, girl, now
You know you got me goin' everything crazy that you want me to do
Yes you have girl
Don't you, don't you, don't you know you gotta tell the truth, yeah huh
Baby, baby, baby, babe why don't you tell me truth, now, uh
You know you got me goin' everything crazy that you want me to do
Yes you have, yeah watch it

Lovin' you is just a little bit easy started, so hard to stop
Feel how could
Baby, bay, you know I would
I feel a strong all around
If I thought that it would do any good, mama
Tell me the truth, yeah
Lit-lit-lit-lit-little girl just

You know you got me goin' everything foolish that you want me to do

Oh play it

Tell me,tell me, tell me the truth now

Tell the truth now
Lovin' you is easy to start, hard to stop
But I'm gonna just tell you this, uh

If I just thought that it would do me some good, aahhhh

Biografia

Otis Ray Redding Jr. (1941-1967) was an American soul singer, considered one of the most influential artists in the genre. Born in Dawson, Georgia, Redding began his musical career singing in churches and nightclubs in the Southern United States. In 1962 he signed with Stax Records, where he achieved success with songs like "Respect" (a cover of Aretha Franklin's) and "Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fine". His powerful and emotive vocal style, characterized by a wide range and an extraordinary ability to interpret, made him one of the most beloved soul singers. Among his most famous songs are "I've Been Loving You Too Long", "Try a Little Tenderness" and the posthumous worldwide success "(Sittin' on) the Dock of the Bay". His tragic death in a plane crash in 1967, at the age of only 26, marked the end of a promising career and left a void in the musical landscape. Redding is remembered as a brilliant and innovative artist who helped define the style of modern soul.
