I listen to Otis Redding everyday. If anyone in his family is reading this please know he has brought so much emotion & positivity into my life. Truly a blessing to hear him
Otis had so much EMOTION in his voice. Everyone has a powerful voice but he had Soul and passion. The type of voice that doesn’t sing for the money but just madly in love with it. Aloha and Respect from Hawaii
The first time i heard otis sing i feel in love with hes music lm and old lady now but i still love him and his music there will never be a greater than otis redding
It is obvious that Otis, III loved, adored and respected his dad. Sadly, he, his siblings and mom did not have more time with him. Otis, Jr. had so much more to offer them and the music industry! Died so young! God's time is not man's time. Live everyday with love, kindness, respect, integrity and practice "The Golden Rule" (Do unto others, as you would like them to do unto you). Live everyday as if it was your last! It could possibly be!
Otis III , I know a little about how you feel toward living up to your Dad's legacy..my Dad won a bronze star in WWII at the battle of the bulge, and then graduated from Harvard College, avery accomplished man. But what a lucky guy you are to have this unique and amazing artist as your father and I was inspired by your attitude about it. I have no doubt he would have said just try to enjoy what you do and the move people with your music. Having been a huge Otis fan for 50 years and hearing almost nothing about his story or his family for a long time after his passing, I am gratified to see all these interviews and footage of Otis and to finally hear a little of your perspective about him and his greatness.
Beautifull 2 see how his son talks about him, otis Reding 2 me is 1 of the best music artist in time his voice where so raw and pure u could feel it!!!! miss that soul music♡
Jackie Wilson was the greatest of all time. Hes supposed to say that about his father. But im not ready to put Otis ahead of James Brown Michael Jackson Jackie Wilson or Sam Cooke. Weve reached an era where its time to discuss these artists business prowess away from music. Suddenly I have to throw Johnny Taylor's name into the conversation.
@@rhyno8644 I wouldn't compare the names you've mentioned, and there are many more with who was the best. They all had their own flavor in singing and style.
@@rhyno8644 Otis will ALWAYS be the world's all time number one soul singer in my book. For me no one else comes close. Only Otis made me cry. I respect your opinion, but for me Otis will forever be the finest soul man ever.
Otis Redding the 3rd You don't have a little bit of Talent You have a lot of talent Your brother Dexter And cousin mark You all did great in the 80s The Reddings released a LP Call The Awakening in the year 1980 And is one of my favorite albums till this day 2021 Unfortunately rap music came along and dominated the music world And made it hard for R&B groups such as the reddings to get radio airplay This is why I don't care too much for American Music Awards or the Grammys as they push You have to be this wild and crazy rapper Or pop singer To be heard or receive an award And if a movie is in the making you should get the part Otis Redding lll Like you said you have the name and I'm telling you you have the talent
Can't nobody touch your dad's music your dad is a legend I grew up listen to your dad's music because of my mama my daddy my grandma's and my granddaddy and my great aunt and my uncles I'm 35 and my kids know about Otis Redding music because I used to play it for them when they were babies they used to go through my album collection looking for Otis Redding and I still have the box set of the Otis Redding story still in my collection and still on rotation when I play it on the record player I have king and queen live at the Go-Go oh yeah I have my Otis Redding collection now that I ain't giving up I told my peoples the only way you going to get my Otis Redding album collection is they going to have to pry it out my dead cold hands if they don't mind digging me up to get it
Why did not otis and band listen to Cleveland airport workers that told him not to use airplane that day. ??? Why was he not listening????? He could have been still living today!!!!!!!!!
Stop singing please for your dad and US,you seems to have , your mother's genes,and you only Can sell,otis'records ... I listen since 40 years the King Redding,and you kill his songs
I love All Green, but he's not a "god" compared to Mr. Redding. You're also comparing someone who has been around for decades and has been making music for basically a lifetime to someone who died at 26. We were only fortunate enough to have Otis around for a few years, and therefore his catalog of music is limited. If he had lived and continued to write and sing, I don't think you would so easily place Al Green above him. There's just something about Mr. Redding's voice and the pure soul that he put into every song.
@@Kindred04 it’s my subjective opinion. I don’t believe in gods. It’s just figurative language. Im not measuring catalogues I’m comparing them at their best.

*Otis* He was a genius because he was innovative, talented and had a complex understanding of soul music.
His sons are a credit to him. They have all his graces and Zelma is beautiful
Man was blessed with is owed talent.
The first time i heard otis sing i feel in love with hes music lm and old lady now but i still love him and his music there will never be a greater than otis redding
I didn’t know Otis had a child, thank you God for that blessing. Sir, your dad was and is an icon in American music.
Otis had 3 children. Two sons and a daughter who all kerp his memory alive.
It is obvious that Otis, III loved, adored and respected his dad.
Sadly, he, his siblings and mom did not have more time with him. Otis, Jr. had so much more to offer them and the music industry! Died so young! God's time is not man's time. Live everyday with love, kindness, respect, integrity and practice "The Golden Rule" (Do unto others, as you would like them to do unto you). Live everyday as if it was your last!

Very well stated!
Otis, timeless,soulful,talented the big O of soul! 🤴🏾x

Nobody can live up to Otis
Otis-beautiful-black-godgiven-icon.
R.I.P.
His idol was Sam Cooke Imagine them doing a record together
dear Otis the third, you are a wonderful man, and your father in heaven is proud of you. Please consider to become vegan
I have an idea for an biopic on Otis Redding's story
Jumaine Adams Text me, I wanna hear about it. I’m a director and actor. 979-388-4412
les mêmes yeux que son père,émouvant ,il lui ressemble beaucoup
Al Green
Why did not otis and band listen to Cleveland airport workers that told him not to use airplane that day. ??? Why was he not listening????? He could have been still living today!!!!!!!!!
Simple answer: Nobody can.
No one.
Stop singing please for your dad and US,you seems to have , your mother's genes,and you only Can sell,otis'records ... I listen since 40 years the King Redding,and you kill his songs
If Otis is the king then al green is the god...

Otis was the original. When Al is twisting his arm around and jumping around, he’s imitating Otis!
