{"title":"Otis Clay","description":"\u003cp\u003eOtis Clay was an influential American R\u0026amp;B and soul singer who emerged in the 1960s. Clay's style was deeply rooted in gospel music, reflecting his early years singing in church choirs, and was characterized by his emotive, powerful vocals. His most notable work includes the 1972 hit \"Trying To Live My Life Without You\", which was later covered by Bob Seger. Through his music, Clay made significant contributions to the soul genre and is often associated with the Memphis soul sound.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"i-didnt-know-the-meaning-of-pain-i-cant-make-it-alone","title":"I Didn't Know The Meaning of Pain\/ I Can't Make It Alone","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed promo copy, in its original Hi Records factory sleeve.   Two more terrific sides from this Soul master--he gives us an uptempo, funky-soul workout on the A side and a gorgeous midtempo ballad on the flip.

The Deep Soul A side became the singer's first chart record, but the record is sought after today primarily for the terrific Northern Soul dancer on the flip. Note: The Neal collection has multiple copies of this single, all with an \"X\" inked on the A side label; the \"Show Place\" label is pristine (see scan). They all also share a slight warp that played fine on our test turntable, but might be tricky if your tonearm is weighted more lightly. For us, the warp has no effect on the audio, which is pristine Mint.","brand":"Otis Clay","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48516155506921,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/8508\/9001\/files\/otisclay9.jpg?v=1752215764"},{"product_id":"all-because-of-your-love-today-my-whole-world-fell","title":"All Because Of Your Love\/ Today My Whole World Fell","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original T.K. factory sleeve.
