This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Otis Redding (1941-1967) was an American soul singer famous for his distinctive voice and energetic live performances. Born in Georgia, he was influenced by gospel music as well as the output of fellow Georgia native Little Richard, whose raw, emotional vocals he greatly admired. When he came to Stax Records he recorded with the backing of house bands Booker T. and the MGs and the Mar-Kays, often recording songs he had written himself. Redding's songwriting and performing, which combined soul with rock and roll codified southern soul, and he is often credited as the Trope Maker for the Deep Soul subgenre. |
