Otis Redding too, a great R&B artist.


Otis Redding III, that is. He was my age.

Otis Jr's pilot landed his plane in the lake at Madison in 1967, a couple weeks after his biggest hit was recorded. His wife didn't like (Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay, thought it was a sell-out and didn't want him to record it. The money from that song probably helped a great deal in helping her raise the kids after Jr was gone.
