Initially popular mainly with African-Americans, Redding later reached a wider American pop music audience. Stax released Redding's debut album, Pain in My Heart, two years later. An unscheduled appearance on a Stax recording session led to a contract and his first single, "These Arms of Mine", in 1962.
In 1958, he joined Johnny Jenkins's band, the Pinetoppers, with whom he toured the Southern states as a singer and driver. Redding quit school at age 15 to support his family, working with Little Richard's backing band, the Upsetters, and by performing in talent shows at the historic Douglass Theatre in Macon. Redding was born in Dawson, Georgia, and at the age of 2, moved to Macon, Georgia. His singing style influenced many other soul artists of the 1960s.
Redding's style of singing gained inspiration from the gospel music that preceded the genre. He is considered one of the greatest singers in the history of American popular music and a seminal artist in soul music and rhythm and blues. (Septem– December 10, 1967) was an American singer, songwriter, record producer, arranger, and talent scout.
