Its not been a great start to year as regards deaths and Otis is the one I will miss the most. Really great soul singer.

This is sad news. I only learned of Otis Clay thru Pandora, he was a very fine soul singer.

Does anyone think this track may have influenced Lenny Kravitz for his track Are You Gonna Go My Way?

I think around 1.05 in the song it sounds quite similar.
