Mr. Otisteen Smith, affectionately known as "Soup Bone" and "Too Sweet", was born October 10, 1952, to the late Olden and Willie L. Smith in Americus, Georgia. He was a 1972 graduate of Americus High School and an active basketball player for Staley High School and Americus High School. One of the main things he loved more than sports was music and singing. He sang in several bands: The Impac, Mighty Night Band, Little Mickey, and the Sticks of Dynamite. He was a legend in his music, always singing in bands and wherever his fun style was in demand. He entertained the crowds with his singing and his James Brown style of dancing.
Otisteen passed away on April 13, 2022, at Phoebe Sumter Regional Hospital. He was preceded in death by one brother Olden Smith Jr., his grandparents, Cora Smith of Andersonville, Georgia, Jennie Ingram and Leroy Ingram of Americus, Georgia, and his mother-in-law and father-in-law Sonny and Liza Goober of Americus, Georgia.
