I feel better I didn't miss an obvious connection. The Noel Reding connection there can also connect a lot of the old school London scene to a lot of newer stuff. OK, allowing that these two are indeed fictional musicians.... try connecting Ian Faith to Bleeding Gums Murphy.

Out of laziness for a more definitive route: Otis Redding performed at the Monteray Pop Festival in 1967. His performance came out as a posthumous release in 1971 and it took up onne side of the LP. The other side of the LP contained fellow Monteray Pop performer Jimi Hendrix' set. This was Jimi's American conquest show, bringing the Experience lineup back from 'cross the pond. It's the set where he most famously douses his guitar in lighter fluid and ignites it at the end of his "Wild Thing" cover. "Wild Thing" is not included on the Hendrix portion of the album, but another cover, "Try A Little Tenderness," is. That's an Otis Redding tune. Take the Hendrix to Clapton connections as covered previously and we have Otis to Eric. Take the Clapton to babyface connections as covered previously and we have Otis to Babyface.
