8x10" glossy Phil Walden Artist and Promotions publicity photo shows a dapper-looking Redding, who has signed in red ink "Respect - Otis Redding To Carol." Redding is considered one of the major figures in soul music and rhythm and blues, and one of the greatest singers in popular music. He is best known for his song "(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay," which became the first posthumous number-one record on both the Billboard Hot 100 and R&B charts after his death in a plane crash in 1967. Photo has some lt. handling wear which is only noticeable in reflected light. Bottom border (w/text) has a 1.25" area of surface paper lift, but this does not detract greatly from overall appearance, which remains Exc. Comes with Hake's COA and Roger Epperson/REAL LOA. A stunning example of a rare and desirable signed photo.
