HOW many mos bef Otis's transition this was, 5 or so ? People go,,records stay ... the 2 incredible double live in Jpn were his culmination-tipping point. Got both in full mint, the 1st one a sealed duplicate, even. Will nevuhhh sell, or I have to yell .... Guess he died almost w his boots on. (Nice footage).
THREE mos, 1 week from this he was taken upstairs by Creator's grace, Jan 3rd 16. Then : "WHEN THE GATES SWING OPEN" was fulfilled 4 him all of a sudden....He was 73. Mission accomplished. A great ambassador of both soul and spritual music - a true gentleman if anybody (hang aroun w him 2 days in 88,,89 - Toddlin Town & A'dam). RIP.
