Singer and guitarist Otis Redding III, the son and namesake of the legendary 1960s soul singer, has died from cancer at age 59, his family said Wednesday.
Redding was just 3 years old when his father, Otis Redding, perished along with several band members in a plane crash on Dec. 10, 1967. More than a decade later, the younger Redding and his brother, Dexter, formed the funk band The Reddings, which recorded six albums in the 1980s.
Though singles "Remote Control" and "Call The Law" by The Reddings made appearances on the Billboard music charts, the Redding brothers never matched their father's success. Redding continued playing and performing after the band recorded its final album in 1988. "He said, 'You can play guitar with me, but you're going to have to sing a few of your dad's songs,"' Redding recalled in a 2018 interview with WCSH-TV in Portland, Maine. "I was like, `Huh? I don't sing,' you know. And he was like, 'Well, you're going to sing "Dock of the Bay" with me tonight."'
