“The mystery thickens!”
Hello Fans!
Peter Sahula, the photographer who took the photo on the cover of Otis Blue has gone through his archive and has confirmed that the mysterious woman on the cover is, in fact, German model Dagmar Dreger. We have followed several leads on a number of Dagmar’s in Germany, and have not yet found our lady. We did have one lead that thought that she might have been KGB, but we’ve found no evidence yet. We also know that Time Magazine profiled Dagmar in 1964. Care to follow up? Go for it, and have fun!! Send any tips to stories@otisredding.com
Sincerely, The Otis Redding Team
