Otis Redding was an American singer, songwriter, and record producer, known for his soulful music and powerful vocal delivery. Born on September 9, 1941, in Dawson, Georgia, Redding rose to fame in the 1960s with hits such as "Respect," "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay," and "Try a Little Tenderness." He was a prominent figure in the soul music genre and is often referred to as the "King of Soul."


Redding's career was tragically cut short when he died in a plane crash on December 10, 1967, at the age of 26.
