Music news / Audiovisuals Otis Redding: They just don't make 'em like they used to

Otis Redding had more soul in his pinky toe than most of today's artists could ever hope to summon in any genre. It's not their fault. He was just one of a kind.
Click this link and check out a classic 1967 video of Redding lip-synching "Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa (Sad Song)." Impossible not to feel good after that.
The Georgia Music Hall of Fame exhibit, I've Got Dreams to Remember, runs through next September in Macon, where more than 175 artifacts including photographs, hand-written lyrics, posters, letters and other memorabilia are on display in recognition of the 40th anniversary of Redding's death.
Here he is in what is reputed to be his last televised performance before his death, performing "Try a Little Tenderness" backed by the Bar-Kays — four of its six members also perished in the December 1967 plane crash that claimed Redding's life at age 26.
