Otis. THE man.

Come on now, this dude was twenty-freakin'-SIX when he died?!?!? I love all things Otis, this is one of the many reasons why.

I saw a piece of his plane at the R&R HOF, man it was sad. I don't usually get too moved by celebrity deaths, especially ones who went before I was born, but to see the mangled metal up close was almost chilling.

Hard to Handle is a great, underrated tune, but Dock in the Bay makes me emotional every time I hear it

Otis Redding was one of a kind. As a soul singer, as a soul songwriter.

The heavy mental meatheads only wish they had a riff as dangerous as "I Can't Turn You Loose."
