Perfect man. My mum was in hospital for 5 weeks. We almost lost her. She was in a distant place for about two days. I sat with her and played music. I played this and sang along and a few of your songs amongst all the music I played, when she came to she was humming this song. She asked me to play it for her tonight and sing to her. She can’t see the video because she had a small stroke in the middle of all that happened and went partially blind, but she can sure hear good. We cried lots tonight. Remembering things. Things we’d both forgotten about. Thank you for your music Marty.
This made me cry 😢 😢😢I’m so sorry you guys went through this but ya know it sounds like she couldn’t have a better best friend next to her by her side Guardian angel xxxxxxx🥰🥰🥰
I feel like every man has this moment in life, where they sit back and see there life. Life has passed, and we watched it roll. You have captured the essence of this song perfectly.
Wow this one makes me remember a very special person who passed away. He loved singing this song and we loved hearing him sing. He was shy and never dated and hid from others and became an alcoholic. He development liver disease and they put on the transplant list, but alcohol got the best of him. God I miss that big olé gentle giant. He will always be in our hearts and now I can see him singing through you. Ty ty
I wish more singers had this much passion when they were singing. Your music is the best thing to get my day going and help light the fire in me to give my passion and energy into my work.
THANK YALL FOR ALL THE SUPPORT ON MY PATREON!! Yall really are the best! I love you all! You can see ALL my videos early on Patreon. If you wanna support a small timer like me go here>>> tps://www.patreon.com/martyrayproject
Marty I just want to tell you how much I enjoy your work. This one crushed me. This is as good of a homage to Otis as anyone could do. I was deeply moved. You are a gifted artist, and the beard game is strong. Keep it up brother, and thank you.
I have no doubt, Marty, that you will be up there with some of the all-time greats soon. Keep doing your thing & remember, Good things come to those who wait & I think your waiting time is very close to being done. Looking forward to what you come up with next.
small timer please we haven't had a singer like u since Ray Charles and you're a good guy you are bad ass keep it up please man please you need a record deal and go on tour and when u do please come to the ATL
Damn, where has this guy been? I must of been living under a rock not to have heard this! That's got to be one of the best vocals I've ever heard and I listen to music 10-14 house a day, just wow.
Absolutely beautiful rendition! This song has so much meaning for me. I was listening to it when I got the call my father in law had passed away. Thank you for making such beautiful music!
To all who gave a thumbs down... You are outta your mind! His voice is incredible! Such talent and the genuine blues in his voice portrays such emotion that I get the chills. I love all music but a great cover is wonderful to come across. Thank you!!!!!
I scoured the internet for someone to actually sing this song with true pain and emotion in their voice and not just to show of their vocal chops. You hands down have the best and most soulful cover I've seen by a mile and the guitarist actually supports the song instead of playing loudly over the singer. You have my respect; like and subscribed.
Anyone who gave this thumbs down must not like this song in the first place because you gentlemen definitely did it justice. I enjoyed this so much, thank you.
Meeting you and hearing you sing in person is on my bucket list. Your voice is so soothing and comforting. When I found out my grandpa passed away. I put on your UA-cam channel and just let my sadness wash away. Your music has helped me through some hard times in my life. So seeing you in person is an absolute must. I messaged your Facebook once to ask about any upcoming shows but never heard back.
It really hit home with me and the way I am feeling right now but l will some how pull through this and still remain standing strong as the woman l am just got to find that strength in me once again l will not be broken
I didn't know my father that much growing up. But there are three things he instilled in me: 1. Be truthful, meaning don´t intentionally lie and don´t use the truth to just hurt others 2. Always get back up 3. Be present in every moment you have with the ones you love This song has gotten me through times when the truth hurt, when I was knocked down, when I felt like I was all alone on the dock of the bay with nothing and no-one. But, it always lifts my spirit to hear it, even when everything is just fine. I guess it reminds me that there´s always something good in your life, sometimes you just have to take a moment to look a little harder for it. I´ve felt alone, but I´ve never really been alone, not when I take that moment and remember the three things my father instilled in me.
Marty Ray Project So, when I say I love your version, I’m being truthful and when I heard you sing it, it reminded me to take that moment. So thank you.
Ottis who wrote and sang this song went into the studio, layed down the track then passed away the next day, if you listen to the original song you can hear the tiredness in his voice because he was just about to pass on! Now thats a real feel song! I didnt agree with you Ottis and Blue letting david ruffin go after he gave you “My Girl” and “Aint To Proud To Beg” when you had control over the temptations but amazing job on this final piece of yours Ottis! I listen to this one alot when im stressed and tired from life, so thank you Ottis. . .
... this. this is the type of art that makes the internet worth existing! Right when I've about had my fill of soap boxes, toxic this, and placating that, right before I unplug for good, I find SOUL! beautiful man.
You have such an amazing, God given talent! So many people have sang this song, but none have done it the justice you have! I would love to see you in concert!
Fantastic voice. Better than anything I've heard on the radio lately. Listening to this made me wonder what a Marty Ray cover of Dobie Gray's Drift Away would sound like.
This has been one of my all-time favourite songs. I end up humming it on and off without evening realizing it. Amazing cover guys... always keep it real man. Peace
@@MartyRayProject I need to apologize. I realize how my comment could be taken negatively. It wasn't meant that way. You're beyond talented! If you get a chance, or feel so inclined - I'd love to hear your version of Johnny Cash "Hurt", "One", "Rusty Cage", or any JC song you relate to...

That's some crazy story. I guess the brain is always aware of our surroundings ..... have peace in your mind.
This made me cry 😢 😢😢I’m so sorry you guys went through this but ya know it sounds like she couldn’t have a better best friend next to her by her side Guardian angel xxxxxxx🥰🥰🥰

trikstar198 Indeed! 🙏🏻
You did Ottis proud. That should be enough, no one sang like him.

He development liver disease and they put on the transplant list, but alcohol got the best of him. God I miss that big olé gentle giant.

A person can sit and listen to marty ray for hours and hours . Wow he's the best .God bless ya marty one day I wanna meet ya and see u sing in live.
I never thought I would love any version of Sittin on the Dock that wasn't Otis Redding until now.... fabulous!
Me too😂unbelievable
I wish more singers had this much passion when they were singing. Your music is the best thing to get my day going and help light the fire in me to give my passion and energy into my work.
I hope you know that your music has saved me from my our destructive thoughts. No worries when I'm playing your jams. Thank you Marty.
That truly means the world to me my friend! Please know that I love ya! God bless ya! 🙏🏻

Never heard this song but I can't stop listening to it. Please do more like this. Ill give you all my money.
Save your money and just listen to an oldies radio station. Plenty more good ones, a few as good as this song.
The best Version I've heard of this since my mommas mommas porch late 80s. Plz man keep it alive. Roll on brother roll on.
WOW! What vocals & the arrangement is so awesome.
I still can not understand why you are not a Superstar by now.
Damn, people need to wake up.
Thanks so much for being a Project'r brother! With yall and God behind me I'll be one soon enough. 🙏🏻
I have no doubt, Marty, that you will be up there with some of the all-time greats soon.
Keep doing your thing & remember, Good things come to those who wait & I think your waiting time is very close to being done.
Looking forward to what you come up with next.
Your the one who brought the magic back into music. Love to see you play in person. God bless
