Artist Bio:
Otis Redding was an American singer, songwriter, and record producer who was born on September 9, 1941, in Dawson, Georgia. He is often referred to as the "King of Soul" for his powerful and emotive voice. Redding began his music career in the 1960s and quickly gained popularity for his passionate performances and heartfelt lyrics. He is best known for songs such as "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay," "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay," "Try a Little Tenderness," and "Respect."
Tragically, Redding's life was cut short when he died in a plane crash on December 10, 1967, at the young age of 26. Despite his premature death, his impact on soul music continues to be felt to this day, and he is remembered as one of the greatest singers of his time. Otis Redding was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989 and received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1999.
