Jermaine Dupri is set to be honoured by the Otis Redding Foundation at the second annual King Of Soul Music Festival on September 8 to 9.
The So So Def mogul will be presented with the Otis & Zelma Redding Award of Respect.
The two-day event is set to take place in Georgia and will also serve as a fundraiser for the Otis Redding Center for the Arts, and a celebration of what would have been the late crooner's 82nd birthday.
The festival will kick off with "An Evening of Respect" concert and the following night will feature The Big "O" Homecoming Show and Dance.
A selected group of artists, who are yet to be announced, will pay tribute to Redding's musical legacy.
