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 My name is Michael Anthony Herd,I live in Wilmington NC.

Until I lost my personal belonging in a storage company, I had every album of Otis. My wife who is deceased, really loved Otis as well. It may sound stupid, but back in the days, we would listen to Otis before we went to bed, while in bed, when we rise in the morning, when we come home from work. You could say that we addicted to his soulful, romantic, and realistic singing. My wife and I went into mourning for months and performed research on Otis' life after the accidents. It wasn't until after his death that we really got to know a lot about Otis. I guess we took him for granted and just love to do everything to the sound of his music. Our sympathetic and condolences continues to go out to his lovely wife and family. May his legend and songs live forever in our hearts and memories as we continue to enjoy his sound.

Now years have passed (I was born in 1956 fyi...) I still love Otis..I live in St. Paul. Minnesota and it has been raining all day.. I was recovering from chemotherapy and I wanted some "comfort" music so I dug out all my "Otis" stuff...and it was a cool day so I had my windows open...3 people actually knocked on my door to ask what I was listening to...(I tried not to play it too loud...though I wanted to) so I was really surprised...(happily) ..What a legacy he has left behind...and looking at this website....what a wonderful family! The older I become the more respect I have for Otis...he seemed like such a nice man...who valued the IMPORTANT things...Thankyou for giving back to the community I have a limited income but the minute I have extra I'm coming back to donate to the "Big O Foundation"!
