    When my daughter, Faith, was two months old, we were driving home from my dad's house and she was just screaming and crying in the backseat. My husband made me a mix CD and I put it in. This song came on and the minute he started singing she stopped crying and started cooing. I played this song all the way home and she was completely content. She passed away from SIDS a couple of weeks after this. So this song has a special place in my heart and Otis Redding is one of my favorites now. God bless.

    Otis had his own band, the Bar-Kay’s. He started out of Georgia. The Temps were with Motown- Otis was with Muscle Shoals Recods in Alabama. He wrote Respect which Aretha made her own. He was a dynamic performer who died in a plane crash at age 26.
    I was blessed to see him at the Monterey Pop Fest six months before he passed. There’s great video on YT of that performance!

Now he realizes the beauty of life and is just sitting on the dock of the bay enjoying his new perspective. Its hard to listen to this song and not just admire the awesomeness that life provides. There is only high because there is low.

    Otis Redding was a Soul music pioneer in the 1950s and 1960s. Redding was very close to becoming a crossover Rock music star at the time of his death in a plane crash in 1967. Reportedly, the plane made an emergency water landing, and everyone got out of the plane, but most of the passengers froze to death in the icy cold waters in the Winter, waiting to be rescued.
    There are a handful of syndicated TV performances by Otis Redding available for viewing here on UA-cam. He also was a featured performer at the 1967 Monterey Pop Music Festival, which was his his first performance before a primarily white audience, what he referred to as "the Love Crowd". Otis Redding's performance highlights are part of the concert film, "Monterey Pop".

Music brings the generations together. Music appreciation is what you pass down to your sons. Music represents moments in time. Those moments can be current or memories from our youth. Music connects us to so many things.

    This is one of the greatest songs of the 20th century...and it almost never came to be. Otis Redding was heading out on a four day tour and made a stop at his record company to sign some papers. His producer suggested that since there was a studio available, that he should do a "working track" of his new song. He went in and sang it straight through beginning to end...one take. Then left for the airport and his charted plane. Four days later, he was killed when that plane crashed. A one take masterpiece!

    Otis Redding co-wrote (Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay with guitarist Steve Cropper and recorded it in late 1967. Otis Redding died in a plane crash only a few days after recording this song (Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay. Steve Cropper mixed "Dock of the Bay" at Stax Studios in 1968. He added the sound of seagulls and waves crashing to the background, as Redding had requested, recalling the sounds he heard when he was staying on the houseboat. The song was released in 1968, becoming the first posthumous single to hit number 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 charts.

    Late one night Otis called his songwriting partner guitarist Steve Cropper and was super excited and said "this song will become my first #1 hit!" Steve was like "ok sounds good but can we talk about it in the studio tomorrow? It's in the middle of the night now!" Well it turned out that Otis in fact was right the song did reach #1 at Billboard but unfortunately he never got the chance to experience it. Otis died in a plane chrash before the song was released.

    So hard to believe he was only 24 when he passed. I’m about to turn 24 and have no idea how someone that young can have a voice that powerful. He didn’t even get to hear the finished version of this song..Otis Redding forever.

    Otis Williams started the Temptations first known as Otis Williams and the Distants. This Otis had a backing band called The Bark kays. This one packed a lot of life in his 27 short years.

    This song actually came out after his death. The plane went down in bad weather when he was trying to get to a show he was performing at. In his short life, he made a major impact on the music industry. Listen to “These Arms of Mine” and “Try a Little Tenderness”. You won’t regret it.

      Maybe Mr. Video is doing true reactions based on his understanding of the artists without doing preliminary research online. Mistakes might occur but I think it makes for a more authentic experience for us, the viewers.

    When Otis laid down the vocals for this, the last verse wasn't written yet so he just whistled it and was going to add it in later but tragically he passed away before he could record it so the song was released as is. Otis was the man! You should check out "Try a Little Tenderness"

    I was a young teenager new to Toronto from a small town on the east coast of Canada and I remember listening to this I had a tiny little radio in the room I rented and I remember hearing this over and over again on the radio and I did not know till recently he had already passed when it was released❤❤❤❤ two of my favorite songs by him are I've been loving you too long and I've got Dreams to Remember besides the obvious Sitting on the Dock of the Bay❤❤❤

    Oh my Mr. Video, this is classic Otis Redding. The reason why he whistles at the end of the song is because the last part of the song was not written yet. Thanks for this.

    He came from the bible belt, Georgia, in the Sixties...to San Francisco which was exploding as THE place to be 1967. Free love. Flower power. Culture shock.
    My son and his gf live in SF and did a surreal cover to this. You are more than welcome to react to it. Will post the link soon.

    His band was and is the ever so Funky..... BAR-KAYS! You should react to their hit, "Freakshow On The Dancefloor" or "Hit & Run". Otis' "Try A Little Tenderness - Live" always takes the heart somewhere else!

    Man, Otis put them all to shame. He was THE VOICE and he was just beginning to break into the big time when he died. Find a copy of his performance at the Monterrey Pop Festival, it's TOTAL FIRE..A CONFLAGRATION...ABSOLUTELY SMOKING.
    You didn't just hear him sing, you felt what he sang and he owned the blues.

    What a gem of a song! Didn´t know about it, so looks like we discovered this one together. And I tell you something- I´m 47 years old, but haven´t been on a flight all my life. Not that I was scared, it somehow just never happened. R.I.P. Otis.
