"Got To Find A Way" is one of Otis Clay's best-ever sides from Chicago! Hard raw soul, served up on a nice One-derful 45! (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
Amazing stuff from Otis Clay. "Easier Said Than Done" is a nice hard uptempo soul cut, with very raw vocals – but it's the slower religiosity of "Flame In Your Heart" that leaves us breathless. It's got a hard, heavy, moanin' style, and Otis' voice hit notes that we've ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record

Otis Clay recorded live in Japan – working before a very appreciative audience, and hitting grooves that are right up there with his best 70s work on Hi Records! The sound is a bit looser than Hi – which is a nice change – and Clay's really in command on the set, leading the ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Sublime soul from the great Otis Clay – early material done on the Chicago scene in the years before he hit bigger fame in the 70s – and tracks that may well be some of our favorite material ever by the singer! Otis already has that impeccable deep soul approach going on here – ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Later work from Otis Clay, but also one of his greatest albums ever! The record features him with some fuller arrangements than usual – in less of a bluesy mode than during the Hi years, with a smooth sound that really brings out a whole new side of his style. The set was recorded in ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Japanese pressing, on Victor, with insert! Cover has a small bit of tape on top seam, but rest is nice.)
Some of the deepest soul ever to be cut in Chicago. "That's How It Is" has stunning vocals by Clay, with production that sounds more like it's from Memphis than from the south side. "Show Place" is a pretty good hard uptempo groover, too. (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
Quite possibly the most successful record Otis Clay ever cut – and a wonderful little set that recasts his bluesy Chicago vocals with a sweeter Memphis soul approach! Willie Mitchell is very firmly in the house for the record – and the approach he uses here with Otis is similar to that ... (Soul) read moreCD
