Otis Ray Redding, Jr. (September 9, 1941 – December 10, 1967) was an American singer, songwriter, record producer, arranger, and talent scout. He is considered one of the greatest singers in the history of American popular music and a seminal artist in soul music and rhythm and blues. His singing style influenced many other soul artists of the 1960s. During his lifetime, his recordings were produced by Stax Records, based in Memphis, Tennessee, and exemplify the sound of Stax.
Born and raised in the US state of Georgia, Redding quit school at age 15 to support his family, working with Little Richard's backing band, the Upsetters, and performing at talent shows for prize money. In 1958, he joined Johnny Jenkins's band, the Pinetoppers, with whom he toured the Southern states as a singer and driver. An unscheduled appearance on a Stax recording session led to a contract and his first single, "These Arms of Mine," in 1962. Stax released Redding's debut album, Pain in My Heart, two years later.
One can have a dream baby
Two can make that dream so real
One can talk about bein' in love
Two can say how it feels
Well, one can wish upon a star
Two can make a wish come true, yeah
One can stand alone in the dark
Two can make the light shine through
It takes two baby, it takes two baby
Me and you, just us two
It takes two baby, it takes two baby
To make a dream come true, just takes two
One can have a broken heart, livin' in misery, yeah
Two can really ease the pain like a perfect remedy
One can be alone in a bar drinkin' all alone by herself
Two can make that lonely place seem like somewhere else
It takes two baby, it takes two baby
Me and you, just takes two
It takes two baby, it takes two baby
To make a dream come true, just takes two
It takes two, it takes two baby
Just me and you, me and you
And one can go out to a movie lookin' for a special treat
Two can make that movie somethin' kinda sweet
One can take a walk in the moonlight thinkin' that it's really nice
Two walkin' hand in hand adds such a touch of spice
It takes two baby, it takes two baby
Me and you, just us two
It takes two baby, it takes two baby
To make a dream come true, it just takes two
It takes two baby, it takes two baby
Me and you, just us two
It takes two baby, it takes two baby
To make a dream come true, it just takes two
It takes two baby, it takes two baby
Me and you, just us two, us two
It takes two baby, it takes two baby
To make a dream come true, it just takes two
It takes two baby, it takes two baby
