Taking Care of Business (Oliver Nelson album). Taking Care of Business is the second album by saxophonist Oliver Nelson recorded in 1960 and released on the New Jazz label.

He contributed five of the six compositions (including "Screamin' the Blues," "The Meetin'," and "Alto-Itis") and effectively matches wits and creative ideas with Dolphy.

Sittin’ on) the Dock of the Bay was released in January 1968 and would become the first posthumous single to top Billboard‘s Hot 100, ascending to Number One on March 16th and holding the top spot for four consecutive weeks. Other contemporaneous versions, by King Curtis and Latin-flavored band Sergio Mendes and Brasil ’66, were minor hits, while artists including Cher, Peggy Lee and Glen Campbell also covered it at the time. The album spawned one country hit, the pair’s tranquil, pop-tinged take on Dock of the Bay. Released as a single late in 1982, it peaked at Number 13. Although largely forgotten amidst the numerous other hits Nelson and Jennings had individually and collectively, their impassioned performance is a reminder of Redding‘s wide-ranging influence and of his – and Cropper’s – gift for conjuring nothing less than lyrical and in-studio magic.
