lol they didn't, you're right. But Otis I initally thought was older for some reason than when I saw "26". I was like "that's it?" Compared to him, Marvin & Smokey looked like teenagers.

Did Otis have a hard life growing up?

Let's see, conditions in Georgia back then wouldn't be good conditions if you were poor and black so yeah.

I might offend a few people with this so dont get upset.

Maybe Otis' death was a blessing in disguise, I dont know if I believe in 'fate' but look at how it re-shaped The Bar-Kays and lead them to a successful run in the music industry.

To me it seems like he caused a lot of good things to happen with his passing.

Maybe I just like Larry Dodson too much to show any sympathy towards the accident.

Of course i'm not pointing and laughing but everyone has to die eventually so atleast he managed to give life to another group of individuals while sacraficing his own. (maybe chose this path on purpose)
