It's no understatement to say that Otis Redding would not have become the King Of Soul without inspiration from Little Richard

Redding often said that he "would not be here" without Little Richard.

Little Richard paid tribute by inducting Otis Redding into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Today, We remember Little Richard. ❤️ #MaconMusic #MaconLegends #GeorgiaMusic #HometownHeroes #KingOfSoul #ArchitectOfRockNRoll

The Otis Redding Foundation received an update fro

The Otis Redding Foundation received an update from Mrs. Roberta J. Vincent, who wrote the article about her husband's battle with Alzheimer's: "Due to the Carona-19 Virus, I am restricted from visiting my Husband John B. Vincent at the Veterans Nursing Home.

Every Wednesday, at 9:30 a.m., we are able to Skype and as I am talking to him, "I've Got Dreams to Remember" is playing in the background.
You should see his eyes light up as he smiles and starts to snap his fingers. Alzheimer's patients live on long term memories and I Thank God that this song is forever in his heart and brings him great joy. God Bless Otis ❤" Thank you for this sweet message, and for the reminder that music and love will get us through this!

Countless chart-topping modern Hip Hop songs have

Countless chart-topping modern Hip Hop songs have sampled iconic Soul and Stax Records songs. Otis’ track “It’s Too Late” was sampled by Kanye West for his 2005 track “Gone,” featured on his album LATE REGISTRATION. “Late Registration’s official final song is ‘Gone,’ a wonderful trip of a record that’s impressive and fun both lyrically and orchestrally. The backbone here is a bumping vocal loop snatched from Otis Redding’s ‘It’s Too Late,’ but Mr. West deepens and varies the arrangement with each verse.” - XXL Magazine
