Very sad, the man done good though - 90 years of age! Leaving behind his wife of 70 years !!

Remarkable life, and from reading the article will have a remarkable send off, and so he should :thumbsup:

RIP Mr Otis xx

Couldn't have put it any better myself.

RIP Mr. Otis x

So close to ETTA JAMES, a great loss, too big a contribution to be estimated, his role in bringing talents like ETTA, JACKIE WILSON and ESTHER PHILLIPS to notice and his own lifetime of musical creation represent a true legend of American popular Music...RIP....
