Otis Gayle, Sound Dimension- I’ll Be Around ( version ) . OTIS GAYLE: WHAT YOU WON'T DO FOR LOVE (Coxsone)45 1979. Remembered more for 'I'll Be Around' which was versioned by Johnny Osbourne into 'We Need Love', here is Otis Gayle covering blue eyed southern soul Bobby Caldwell's hit and presented here, strangely, in it's only pressing.

Gayle began his musical career as a vocalist with Byron Lee And The Dragonaires. The singer performed with the group on the international circuit and in 1967 settled in Canada. While he continued to perform as part of the Dragonaires, Gayle also recorded a series of solo hits, notably a cover version of the Detroit Spinners’ ‘I’ll Be Around’ for Coxsone Dodd at Studio One in Jamaica.

To find out gracefully, Although you hold the key, baby. Whenever you call me, I'll be there. Whenever you want me, I'll be there. Whenever you need me, I'll be there I, knew just what to say, But now I find out today There's always a chance, A tiny spark remains, yeah, And sparks turn into flames, And love can burn once again, but I know you know.

I've always got your back I'll always hold it down I'll be around And anything you need Won't have to make a sound 'Cause I'll be around.

Otis Redding’s Otis Blue is among the greatest albums ever made. Also, Steve Cropper on lead guitar is essential to the greatness of the sound of these songs. Especially on Ole Man Trouble and Rock Me Baby, Cropper’s guitar almost overshadow’s Redding’s incredible voice. Perhaps the most important aspect of this album is just how great the songs are.

I'll Be Around" is a popular song written by Alec Wilder and published in 1942. The song has become a well-known standard, recorded by many artists. Wilder said, in an interview with Jay Nordlinger, that the song came to him in a taxi cab in Baltimore. I spotted as I was crumpling up the envelope some days later. Since I was near a piano, I wrote a tune, using the title as the first phrase of the melody.
