We move from the soul of Joan Osborne and The Funk Brothers to the soul of the legendary Otis Redding. He was born September 9, 1941 in Dawson, Georgia and sadly died in a tragic plane crash at the age of 26 on December 10, 1967 in Lake Monona in Madison, Wisconsin. The plane crash also claimed the lives of all The Bar-Kays except James Alexander, who was not on the plane, and Ben Cauley who survived the crash. Otis was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio in 1989 and was awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1999.
