MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Trumpeter Ben Cauley, 67, a member of the Stax Records group the Bar-Kays and the only survivor of the 1967 plane crash that killed most of his band mates and Stax star Otis Redding, has died in Memphis.

Cauley’s eldest daughter, Chekita Cauley-Campbell, said her father died late Monday at Methodist South Hospital.

Cauley had struggled with health issues for years, including a stroke he suffered in 1989, but he persevered through all of it and continued to play his trumpet.
