Pain In My Heart
The title track from Otis Redding's 1964 debut album was written by Allen Toussaint under the pseudonym Naomi Neville. Released on Volt Records, a Stax subsidiary with distribution through Atco, the album also featured four successful singles from 1962-1963. Billboard's absence of an R&B singles chart from late 1963 to early 1965 left some of the album's chart performance undocumented.
