We’ll get straight to the point with this one…Otis Redding has a son, Dexter Redding, and Dexter can sing too. In fact they’re so similar, it’s like you’re watching the late great Otis all over again. You know the old school saying “he spit that kid out?” Well it applies in Dexter’s case.
Tell us if you see the similarities between Otis and his son…
Now of course NO ONE can do it like Otis did it…not even his son Dexter, but I’m pretty sure he would probably agree with us on that. Check out Otis Redding and the Barkays’ last performance which they recorded the day before their tragic deaths from a plane crash…
Otis will always be one of the greatest performers to have ever graced music. May he and the Barkay’s legacy continue to live on.

Proud to call Dexter a friend, he and his brother Otis III are true musicians in their own right….they had a couple of albums in the early 80’s under the band name, The Reddings, with a cousin, Mark Lockett. Whenever I talk with people all over the country or world (via internet) when I mentioned I lived in Gray, GA, no one would know where that was. I would always tell them it was the home of Otis Redding and everybody knows that name. Otis was absolutely great and when I was growing up as a teenager listening to him, little did I know that one day I would also be in the music business and would become friends with the Redding family. Great folks all!
How does the family feel regarding the pictures of Otis Redding’s accident? Some are very graphic. I was shocked that they were released to the public.
Sitting on The Dock of The Bay is one of my favorite songs. He was very talented.
