Otis Redding died on this day 57 years ago, aged 26. - Redding took an interest in music at a young age, singing gospel music for local places during his childhood. He considered Little Richard to have been his biggest influence. - Redding went professional by being signed to Atlantic Records in 1962, releasing his first song "These Arms of Mine". In 1965, he wrote and sang "Respect"- a song better known by Aretha Franklin's iconic 1967 cover of it: In 1966 he made his signature song, a cover of the 1932 song "Try a Little Tenderness"- he was initially dissuaded by his producers due to their segregationist outlooks: (this video above was from his final performance) - Redding prematurely died when the plane he was in crashed in a Wisconsin lake due to inclement weather. His song "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" was posthumously released and became the first song by a dead singer to top the Billboard Hot 100, and was his only chart-topper:

Today the King stripped 6 people of their honours. Formal announcement and full list available here. Includes: Tory peer Lord Rami Ranger (wiki), stripped of his CBE for bullying journalists and making inappropriate comments about the Pakistani community Tech businessman Lawrence Jones (wiki), stripped of his MBE after being convicted of rape (currently in prison) Hong Kong academic Lam Shiu-kum, stripped of his OBE after being jailed for misconduct in office Accountant and Hindu Council UK boss Anil Bhanot, stripped of his OBE for comments deemed to be Islamophobic Duke of Edinburgh regional director Robert Johnston, stripped of his MBE – unclear why Church leader and homeless charity boss Michael Andrea, stripped of his BEM – unclear why Prior to 2023, it was exceptionally rare to be stripped of an honour but it seems to be becoming common place now. I think it's a welcome move when it comes to criminal convictions. I'm not convinced it should be done when people make stupid comments though. Everyone's done that at some point.

On this day 2 years ago, actor Robert Clary passed away at the age of 96.

This somehow reminded me of the joke about a Catholic, a cartographer, a baseball player, and a mathematician all discussing something, but nobody actually knowing what the other was talking about. What were they discussing? Cardinals.
