Otis Redding

Otis Redding has been a very influential in my life.  I play the guitar so music is very important to me.  Otis Redding was an American singer who sang soul music.  He has been referred to as the "King of Soul" due to his amazing abilities.  I chose Otis Redding as the person who influenced me because he was one of the first musicians to take music in a new direction.  Almost all of the music that I listen to or play was created from what Otis Redding did.  Although he was only twenty six when he died, Otis Redding changed music forever.
