By: Adelaide, Charlotte

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Otis Redding, member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, had one of the most emotive and recognizable voices in soul music's long history. Redding recorded some of the most famous songs in soul, including "(Sittin' on the) Dock of the Bay," "Respect," "Try a Little Tenderness," "Hard to Handle," and "I've Been Lovin' You Too Long." Learn about his beginnings in Memphis, the influence of Little Richard and Johnny Jenkins on his style, his recordings on the legendary Stax Records, and his tragic early death and posthumous accomplishments.
