Why Otis Redding Was The Only Soul Singer Elvis Presley Was Truly Afraid Of — The Untold Story

In 1966, something happened that shook the music world to its core. A young Black singer from a sharecropper family in Dawson, Georgia ended Elvis Presley's ten-year reign as the world's number one vocalist. His name was Otis Redding. From singing for five dollars a week at a local talent show in Macon to silencing twenty thousand people at the Monterey Pop Festival, Otis Redding's rise was unlike anything the music industry had ever witnessed. He did not just sing soul music. He was soul music. But the story of Otis Redding is not just about his voice. It is about a man who dropped out of school at fifteen to dig wells and feed his family while his father lay in a hospital bed. It is about a man who drove another musician to a recording studio and walked out with his own record deal. It is about the night he stood on a stage in front of an audience that had never heard of him and made them forget every other performer they had ever seen. And it is about a song that was never meant to be finished, a whistle that was supposed to be replaced with lyrics, and a plane that fell from a foggy sky into a frozen lake three days after that song was recorded. This is the true story of the man who made the King of Rock and Roll question everything.
