Our Take

JOHNNY OTIS On With The Show - The Johnny Otis Story Vol 2

Johnny Otis is back, baby, and he's ready to party like it's 1959! On With The Show - The Johnny Otis Story Vol 2 is a rollicking ride through the funky, soulful world of one of music's unsung heroes. From the very first note, you can tell that Otis is a man who knows how to bring the groove.

The album kicks off with the infectious "Hand Jive" - a track that's sure to get your feet tapping and your hips swaying. Otis's smooth vocals are as cool as ever, and his band is tighter than a pair of skinny jeans. This is music to move to, music to shake your tail feather to, music to make you feel alive.

But it's not all about the dance floor bangers here. Otis slows things down on tracks like "Cupid's Boogie" and "Alimony Blues", showing off his soulful side and proving that he's more than just a one-trick pony. The man is a musical chameleon, able to switch styles at the drop of a hat.

Overall, On With The Show - The Johnny Otis Story Vol 2 is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates good music. It's a masterclass in groove, a testament to Otis's enduring talent, and a damn good time from start to finish. So grab your dancing shoes and get ready to boogie, because Johnny Otis is in the house and he's bringing the party!

About the artist

Johnny Otis

JOHNNY OTIS: The Groovemaster General If you've ever found yourself tapping your feet to the infectious sounds of R&B and jazz, chances are you've been touched by the musical genius of Johnny Otis. With a career spanning over six decades, Otis is a true icon in the world of music, known for his smooth vocals, energetic performances, and uncanny ability to get audiences grooving on the dance floor. Born Ioannis Alexandres Veliotes to Greek immigrant parents, Otis grew up in a vibrant musical environment in Berkeley, California. His early exposure to jazz and blues laid the foundation for his future success as a musician, composer, and producer. Otis' career skyrocketed in the 1940s and 50s, when he became a pioneering figure in the R&B scene, producing hits for some of the biggest names in the industry, including Etta James, Big Mama Thornton, and Esther Phillips. His dynamic stage presence and infectious energy made him a favorite among audiences, earning him the title of "The Groovemaster General." But Otis wasn't just a talented performer - he was also a savvy businessman, founding his own record label and radio show, where he championed up-and-coming artists and brought new sounds to the mainstream. His influence on the music industry is undeniable, and his legacy continues to inspire generations of musicians to this day. So next time you find yourself bopping along to a classic R&B tune, remember to tip your hat to the one and only Johnny Otis - a true pioneer of the groove.
