Many other artists their lives had ended tragically as well. Remeber folk, for example, a blues legend Blind Lemon Jefferson who went to Chicago to record some songs. Jefferson was later found on the street frozen dead. T-Bone Walker used to be Jefferson lead person by the way and he learnt quite a bit from him as well.

*Otis Redding.*Otis Ray Redding, Jr (September 9, 1941 – December 10, 1967) was an American singer-songwriter, record producer, arranger and talent scout. He is considered one of the greatest singers in the history of American popular music and a seminal artist in soul and rhythm and blues. His singing style was powerfully influential among soul artists of 1960s and helped exemplify the Stax sound.Born and raised in Georgia, United States, Redding left school at age 15 to support his family, working with Little Richard's backing band, the Upsetters, and performing at talent shows for prize money. In 1958, he joined Johnny Jenkins's band, the Pinetoppers, and toured the Southern United States as a driver and musician. An unscheduled appearance on a Stax recording session led to a contract and his first single, "These Arms of Mine," in 1962. Stax released Redding's debut album Pain in My Heart two years later.Initially popular mainly with African Americans, Redding later reached a wider American popular music audience. Along with his group, he first played small gigs in the American South, then deputed in the western United States at L.A.'s popular night club the Whisky a Go Go. Later appearances included Paris, London and other European cities.After appearing at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival, Redding wrote and recorded his iconic "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" with Steve Cropper. The song became the first posthumous number-one record on both the Billboard Hot 100 and R&B charts after his death in a plane crash. The Dock of the Bay became the first posthumous album to reach number one on the UK Albums Chart.Redding's premature death devastated Stax. Already on the verge of bankruptcy, the label soon discovered that Atlantic Records owned the rights to his entire song catalogue.Redding received many posthumous accolades, including the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. He received the honorific nickname King of Soul. In addition to "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay," "Respect" and "Try a Little Tenderness" are among his best-known songs.

My mother was the reason I became a lifelong Big O fan. When I was a teen my mom was watching an Otis Redding documentary. being a teen I asked her why we had to watch a documentary of a dead soul singer. My mom snapped and went on a diatribe about how he died in a plane crash and his frozen corpse was pulled from lake Monona. I felt like a real ass, so I listened to the music. Otis Redding sang with such heart, conviction, and soul.
