1960s soul singer Redding (4)

I believe the answer is:

otis

(Other definitions for otis that I've seen before include "- - Redding (soul music star)" , "Place of worship; side part of head" , "Lift man" , "lift company" , "Cole Porter's miss who was "unable to lunch today"" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
