Memphis soul legend William Bell was there for Otis Redding's meteoric rise as a trailblazing force in 1960s popular music.

As we celebrate Otis Redding's remarkable life and career on what would have been his 80th birthday this month, William Bell joins us to reflect on the musical legacy of his friend.
