Movie Reviews of Dreams To Remember: The Legacy of Otis Redding

Movie Review: Inconsequential Piece of Fluff
Summary: 3 Stars

I love the big O. Virtually all the music he created in his short career was exciting and vital. As one of the most influential soul artists of all time, he definitely deserves a documentary. Unfortunately, the only thing I got from this was that he was passionate about his music, which is completely obvious after listening to any of his music for a minute. I don't know if this was completely whitewashed due to his wife's/estate's control over the material, or there was really nothing interesting about his life outside of his music (and no real interesting stories to tell about that either). I'm not a fan of dirt digging, but there must be something that could have given this documentary a little drama. He was an amazing live performer, some of which is shown here, but beware that half or more of these "performances" are (badly) lip-synched tv appearances (as the film acknowledges, since he never sang the same song the same way twice). If you love Otis, you may want to see it, but don't expect much in the way of illumination or excitement.

Summary of Dreams To Remember: The Legacy of Otis Redding

Dreams To Remember: The Legacy of Otis Redding features 16 complete performances filmed throughout America and Europe showcasing why Otis is considered one of the greatest soul singers of all time. Interspersed between the songs are 40 minutes of interviews filmed exclusively for this DVD with Steve Cropper (Booker T. and The MGs), Jim Stewart (founder of Stax Records), Wayne Jackson (Memphis Horns), and Otis Redding's wife Zelma. Includes staggering versions of "I Can't Turn You Loose", "Respect", "I've Been Loving You Too Long", "Try a Little Tenderness" (filmed the day before Otis's tragic death) and more, all in re-mastered sound and video. Produced by Reelin' In The Years Productions, the acclaimed team that produced the Motown "Definitive Performances" series including the The Temptations- Get Ready: The Definitive Performances 1965- 1972, Marvin Gaye - The Real Thing In Performance: 1964- 1981 and Smokey Robinson and The Miracles: Definitive Performances 1963 - 1967 as well as the Grammy nominated American Folk Blues Festival DVD series (four volumes); this 90 minute DVD is the first full-length program to commemorate the legacy of Otis Redding and paints a stirring portrait of an artist whose music remains as powerful and influential as it was 40 years ago.
