Otis Redding, also known as the King of Soul, was on an upward trajectory in his music career when it was cut short due to his untimely death at just 26 years old. Redding recorded his first single, “These Arms of Mine,” in 1962, and the song catapulted to the No. 20 position on the R&B music charts the following year. His success gave way to more opportunities, and he was able to reach a broader audience. Initially, Redding performed small-scale gigs in the South to a predominantly Black audience, but his incredible talent and charisma soon made him popular with the white crowd.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

Eddie Cochran’s career has always been more celebrated in the UK than America. The guitar picker who could sing and write was trying to revisit the success he had experienced with hits such as “Summertime Blues” and “C’mon Everybody” when he found he was having better luck in the UK. Just as Buddy Holly had fallen from the top of the charts before his untimely death in February 1959, Eddie Cochran was struggling to land a hit single. He was spending time in the recording studio playing guitar on other people’s sessions and experimenting with different styles of music as a Liberty Records recording artist.
