Otis Redding III, Son of Music Icon, Passes Away at 59.

Otis Redding III, son of the legendary 1960s soul singer Otis Redding, has died from cancer at the age of 59. Redding followed in his father's footsteps and formed the funk band The Reddings with his brother, but never matched his father's success. He continued to perform his father's songs and worked with his family's foundation to teach children to play music. Redding said he was grateful for his father's enduring legacy, even if it overshadowed his own efforts to make music.
