In addition to singing, Redding also served as Jenkins' driver since the bandleader did not possess a driver's license. In 1960, Redding began touring the South with Johnny Jenkins and The Pinetoppers. My present music has a lot of him in it." I used to sing like Little Richard, his Rock 'n' Roll stuff, you know. I entered the music business because of Richard he is my inspiration. Redding said, "If it hadn't been for Little Richard, I would not be here. Richard Pennyman (Little Richard) was also a Macon resident. His early influences were Little Richard and Sam Cooke.

When the plane was four miles south of the airport above Squaw Bay (less than a mile from the crash site), it was given clearance to land. When the airplane was 10 miles south of the Madison airport, flight control was transferred from Chicago Federal Aviation Control to Madison. But based on this picture, and assuming the plane is being taken out from where it crashed (and it didn't drift afterwards) the capitol is not able to be seen from inside Squaw Bay unless you're at the very western edge of it, so it can't be inside the bay.
