About Otis Redding
Forty years after his passing, the legacy of Otis Redding remains stronger than ever. As the decades have gone by since December 10, 1967 when the world tragically lost one of its greatest soul singers, the power and impact of this Georgia-born R&B pioneer’s music and career shows no signs of diminishing.
Through a recorded legacy that spans a mere six years but is filled with classic after classic, the man whose distinctive music influenced British rock stars and his American soul music peers alike continues to be accorded and afforded the global recognition and (borrowing the title of one of his most enduring compositions)“respect” he richly deserves.
The King of Soul...Otis Redding

My name is Michael Anthony Herd,I live in Wilmington NC. I am strugging at tyring to become an actor because I would love to play the lead role if ever an idea comes about to making movie on the life of Otis Redding. I grew up listening to his music, I have a good majority of his material. Whenever I am on a road trip, I play my Otis Redding music on full blast and imagine myself in his place. Now whom as a kid never stood in front of a mirror with a hair brush in your hand,for a microphone and belt out over the music coming from the radio or stereo, pretending to be your singing idol? I am 40 years old and sometimes I still find myself doing this(I got it bad don’t I?) I hope to one day get my chance to immortalize this singing legend on the big screen some day
