Happy 70th Birthday to Otis Redding |
|
Even if he's not here to enjoy it, we can still enjoy him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqaOp7sIy0wAlso, I'm starting to feel old when folks I listened to when young are now turning 70!

4. I saw him perform live in the 60's. He as an excellent and soulful talent. |
|
I have never tired of anything he has recorded.

10. He was born in my hometown |
|
and though he moved to Macon as a child, he returned now and then to visit his grandparents.
Happy Birthday Otis!

Thank you, now I have to put out all my Otis Redding, and play it when the evening comes;).. Even tho I am not that old, or was living in the 1960s, I still know good music when I hear it...
