Don’t let them fool you with all those black and white photos of that era, cameras were very much in color but they make the photos black and white to make it seem like it was longer ago than it was
Probably not. Before Otis died, Jim Stewart of STAX signed a horrible contract with Jerry Wexler of Atlantic. Jim, being a Southern Man, was going to do a handshake deal, but Jerry wanted it legalized. So he drew up a contract, and Jim signed it without reading it. The contract said that he was basically signing over all of STAX’S catalog to Atlantic for them to distribute and for them to keep forever. It was truly the worst contract of mankind, and Otis probably didn’t even know that Jim signed that deal. After Otis died, Atlantic wanted the masters of Dock of the Bay and all of his other work, and that’s when Jim realized his awful mistake
+ImWhereImAt Yup and it was all in good fun. I think the farm in the first part of the video was Otis' actual farm and he liked to spend his little bits of off-time there living the simple life with his family... the flashy stuff was just for show biz.
"I can buy you Mink, rat, frog, squirrel, rabbit anything you want woman". "EUUUUUUUUU I'M A LOVER , my mama was, my papa too". Tramp poetry at it finest. HAHAHA absolutely love it..... Love Otis and Carla to.
Thunderkat65 -- I guess so. My mama did, my papa to. euuuuuuu I'm lover... now where else was I gonna go with your comment? LOL. Glad to see others that enjoy the old classics.
He’s one of my GOATS. Definitely would’ve been a household name today if his life wasn’t cut so tragically short. He finally had the freedom to make the kind of music he wanted, and he never got to see the success of “Sitting On the Dock of the Bay”.
I can’t believe I have never seen this video before! It’s so good and Otis Redding was so young and good looking and talented. How sad it ended how it did but we still have his music. I’m still listening in 2024 ❤️
Love this video.Otis Redding gave us great music.But he also gave a fantastic legacy most of all to his wife and children.He was a smart business man.Started a summer camp for under privelege children.Made his money work for him.Rest in Power and Love.Otis Redding
This is astonishing. I have never seen it before tonight, and I have loved Otis Redding since I was six. I estimate that I have sung My Lover's Prayer, Chained and Bound, Pain in My Heart, Dreams to Remember, and especially I've Been Loving You Too Long (to stop now) 10,000 times easch. Loving You Too Long maybe 100,000 times. In the 20th century, only the Beatles topped Otis Redding, and had he not been cut short, he might've topped them, over time. He is plainly and unquestionably the greatest American recording artist ever. An immeasurable, incalculable loss to America and the world. We are left with dreams to remember, of you.
Wow, this video of Otis Redding is so good, I am glad you posted it thank you. To see him like this riding that donkey and farming is awesome, this is going on my Playlist. I am such a big fan of him, we love you Otis.
The warmth & humanity that radiates from Otis & his voice is a wonder to behold! No ghastly computer processed ‘robo vocals’ that seem to be all the rage these days… just his own, God given voice singing straight into the mic! ❤
HANDSOME EARTHLY KING SEXXY SMILE MILES I LOVE OTIS MY MARVELOUS MOTHER EARTHLY QUEEN LOVED OTIS SHE SAID SHE GOT TO MEET HIM BACK IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS THOSE WERE THE BEST TOP NOTCH MUSIC IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD WONDERFUL SENSATIONAL SONGS SINGERS KINGS PRINCES QUEENS PRINCESS NOT THIS MESSED UP MUSIC THEY TALK TRASH ABOUT THEIR OWN BROTHERS SISTERS IN THEIR SONGS PUTTING DOWN ONE ANOTHER JUST TO MAKE A DOLLAR MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVILS OF THIS WORLD PEOPLE LOVE WICKEDNESS RATHER MAKING GOOD SENSATIONALS SONGS WERE YOU CAN SIT BACK RELAX ENJOY YOURSELF I DONT WANT TO HER BAD WORDS IN SONGS
howdy people,believe it or not i am here for the weekend ,pouring rain ,hate the rain but i am entertaing myself to day ,and i have went back to the sixties and digging them soul deep ,love this one
Ottis your only gone body but left you us you’re left your name and legacy that will last a life time and forever in ours minds may your soul rips 🎤💐💕❤️
Another video I have never seen, and I have reached another level of heaven tonight. This made me swoon like I was 12 again, when I fell deeply in love with him. I cannot stop sighing, he is the handsomest man I have ever seen....
Good Afternoon You're speaking facts. I remember hearing Salt-N-Pepa's version when I was in high school and I had no idea that they sampled this song until I listened to my grandmother's Otis Redding's Compilation CD and I nearly went through he ceiling when I heard Otis and Carla's version.
I love how u address ur label, Otis Redding, showing them u clearly don't need them. that's fair. I dont like how they replied, that *wasn’t*. to say the least. May you rest in peace, In Christ, Otis Redding, In Jesus, Amen and Hallelujah. Thank you for the "Dock of the bay", which they didn't even change in the end, they kept your whistling at the end, the same they didnt like in the first place. They saw u stood ur ground. They just couldn't have u be doing ur own thing or anyone. A very powerful black man in the 60"s who died.. accidentally... while disagreeing with his label on his second album, the dock of the bay, a man who *clearly* could do it without them at the time, having his own record, label, private jet, cash... 1967, the year he died.. . .... ..... . ...... . ... . Do u see it ?
l got 6 Cadillacs, 5 Lincolns, 4 Fords, 6 Records, 3 T-Birds, Mustang... OOOOooooh I'm A LOVER!!! Never check this gangsta line.... FLOWED off of his tongue!
Remember this video being shown on TOTP back in the day It still looks pretty cool There has never been anyone who sounds remotely like Otis with that pure soulful voice
I know Lowell Fulsom did the original (and a classic in it's own right) but Otis and Carla and the Stax record crew owned this tune.Excellent soul classic.Great!
Lawd have mercy. this vid is priceless. My mind was twisted for a minute I was thinking he was alive, so used to seeing Otis singing. Here he just being an ordinary man living his life.
Yes, definitely, all of those things. He exudes positivity,joy, and the fire of life. If you have never seen it I recommend the Fa fa fa sad song b&w video. The only thing that gets to me about this footage is seeing that plane.
*When I saw that plane it shook me too. They shouldn't have flown that December night in Wisconsin:/ The weather was bad an it was snowing. Best part when Otis showed all the businesses he started with Phil Walden, Otis was like Ray Charles and Sam Cooke; They were business men an entertainers.*
Actually, that is NOT the plane he died in. The plane he died in was a Beechcraft 18; not a chance that this little plane is housing 9 people, pilot included.

How rare it is to see a quality color video made in 1967... RIP Otis.
That is Surreal 😱
It's music. Don't bother with the labelling. Do you like it or not, that's all that matters
@Nik Mok It's some of both no doubt
@@fcaughli funk, soul & Hip Hop
Don’t let them fool you with all those black and white photos of that era, cameras were very much in color but they make the photos black and white to make it seem like it was longer ago than it was
Genius doesn't even begin to describe this man. Wish I could give this video 10,000 thumbs up. RIP Otis...

I sincerely consider this Song a Spiritual. ❤🔥🌎
If Otis were alive today, there's a very good chance he would still own the rights to all of his music. G.O.A.T!

@@paisleyprincess7996 wow thanks
Otis should be in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame
I'm straight from the Georgia woods, that's good 💪💯
Now that's the original form of swag right there. Otis in his green suit, his little dance moves, showing off his cars and his plane
+ImWhereImAt Yup and it was all in good fun. I think the farm in the first part of the video was Otis' actual farm and he liked to spend his little bits of off-time there living the simple life with his family... the flashy stuff was just for show biz.
I'm wondering whether the plane shown is the one James Brown warned him about to get rid of because it would kill him?
@@PalaniRides The plane to small to be the one he died on but James had a plane as well.
"I can buy you Mink, rat, frog, squirrel, rabbit anything you want woman".

HAHAHA absolutely love it..... Love Otis and Carla to.

Mr brown passing tho. I smart
+Kool hand duke You can get that stuff in the Georgia woods.

Still listening to this in 2023
26 year old black legend who owned his own music. Lord knows what could’ve been.
R rrrriggghhhttt DADDY!!!!!
He’s one of my GOATS. Definitely would’ve been a household name today if his life wasn’t cut so tragically short. He finally had the freedom to make the kind of music he wanted, and he never got to see the success of “Sitting On the Dock of the Bay”.

The production value.... Off the charts
The drums in this song is Killing me. Love 60's music beats and the jazz.
Love this video.Otis Redding gave us great music.But he also gave a fantastic legacy most of all to his wife and children.He was a smart business man.Started a summer camp for under privelege children.Made his money work for him.Rest in Power and Love.Otis Redding

I love Otis music as well and I am a product of old school but I must confess, you have got me beat. Peace!
Otis way before his time.
❤so beautiful and true ❤
Great footage of Otis in a playful light. The quality of the film is so vibrant!! Love it!!
A classic song by one Stacks greats with the fabulous Carla Thomas.This is great video I glad I found this.RIP
“You know what Otis, i don’t care what you say,you’re still a tramp!”
“WHAT?”
Hilarious…gets me every time 😂🤣
Where DID this amazing footage come from? Otis' estate? Stax? It is AWESOME! RIP, Otis.
Cool to hear this as background sound in the Top Gun: Maverick scene where Rooster arriving with his Bronco in the bar of Penny Benjamin

A great soul singer sadly missed by all but his music lives on
Great song...Otis looks like he had some fun making this. Would've been cool to see him and Carla "act it out" on video. Thanks for posting!
Yes exactly
I had NO IDEA there was a video for this, it's awesome.
1:36 always cracks me up. That "Whaaaaaat ?!" is priceless.
Love Otis Redding Great Recording Artist RIP Soulful Master
Otis just like me and Carla, we love being lovers, loved and having fun! God is Good Always!🙏🏾❤️👁🌷🌤
UN GENIO DE LA MÚSICA Y UNA VOZ INCREÍBLE . Le doy gracias a mi madre por enseñarme esta maravillosa música. Mi mami ya no está 😔💔
My favorite Song. I see myself in this Song. Lovit ❤ Thank You Otis. Whaaat???
What a stud….Otis ruled in the 60’s ❤️
Blew their minds at Monterrey Pop
The best R&B artist of his day in my opinion
Awesome years before MTV back in 1967,This Video is ahead of it's time!
He had one of the greatest smile. What could have been. Miss you Otis! A legend....
started collecting Otis's records when I started work in 1968, still have all of them and will have till I die. Love this man and his music
a wonderfully witty duet with carla thomas. fantastic.
He was a very handsome man with a great smile.
May he be with our Lord 🙏
Oh I love that smile!!! 😍

Im Only 20 years old but reminds of my grandparents everytime I listen I hope to be jamming oldies in heaven with them one day
Not only his voice sweet but the music too ❤❤❤❤
"I GOT SIX CADILLACS, FIVE LINCOLNS, FOUR FORDS, SIX MERCURIES, THREE T-BIRDS, MUSTANG."
DAMN!!! LIFE IN THE 60'S WAS GOOD ASF 😮
One of the hardest flex in the 60s
People don’t understand how unheard of this was. Owned his music. Man family still owns his 200 acre farm he shot this video on.
At 0:44 (the guitar break) is the intro to the Temptation's hit song: I'm Losing You!
My dads song when I was a kid still jamming this in 2022 😤
I love this video!!! Otis Redding was an enterprise, not just an amazing singer. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

And still is in 2023 and to infinity Big O lives on!!!!!
These both voices are amazing. I used to dance on this song when I was a little girl.
I Love This Song RIP Otis Redding Thank You For Sharing.
Fantastico, poter vedere il mitico OTIS, he is the best of the all time of soul music
Another video I have never seen, and I have reached another level of heaven tonight. This made me swoon like I was 12 again, when I fell deeply in love with him. I cannot stop sighing, he is the handsomest man I have ever seen....
Kind of eerie to see him showing off his little plain, but man what a great person he seemed to be...also a great sense of humor.
I can't believe I misspelled plane...lol...haha.
Thats not the the plane that they perished in. He had a beechcraft H 18. Is a much bigger than that little cessna.
One of my favorite songs to DJ to. That baseline is killa.
+Lordsincere1 THE BASE PLAYER IS KILLING IT.

The great legend Otis Reading close up with his good humour.
You country and straight from the Georgia woods.. That's Good
This feels so modern.
2:17 - Otis Redding, Original Gangsta :)
This is one of my favorite songs TRAMP and I like the video, fun! Love you Otis, and Carla! Otis Redding, Number 1 great Entertainer!
I loved this song as a kid. Kept replaying it.
I love how u address ur label, Otis Redding, showing them u clearly don't need them. that's fair. I dont like how they replied, that *wasn’t*. to say the least.

Remember this video being shown on TOTP back in the day
It still looks pretty cool
There has never been anyone who sounds remotely like Otis with that pure soulful voice
That's about as much fun you can have watching UA-cam. Otis and Carla always sounded so good together.
Yerrrrr👌👍
Irremplaçable Otis 👌🙏💜💖
Tu nous a toujours manqué 😢😢
En tout cas, merci pour cette vidéo sympa de voir Otis ainsi 😉😊😍😍😘😘😘❤️
Lol...love this song! My sister & I were babies listening to this & laughin'😂

Traduction en francais
Ive never seen this...ever! Nice
Live on Otis! I 💕 this song!☀️🌟
Best voice...playful attitude. Humanity could learn a thing or two about singing for Creation
Yes, definitely, all of those things. He exudes positivity,joy, and the fire of life. If you have never seen it I recommend the Fa fa fa sad song b&w video. The only thing that gets to me about this footage is seeing that plane.
1:58 WOW, Shows the plane that he died in. Otis made every song sound like he was singing to God.
Hurt my heart seeing that plane.....
*When I saw that plane it shook me too. They shouldn't have flown that December night in Wisconsin:/ The weather was bad an it was snowing. Best part when Otis showed all the businesses he started with Phil Walden, Otis was like Ray Charles and Sam Cooke; They were business men an entertainers.*
Thanks for that information. Loved all of his songs.
My heart 💔
Actually, that is NOT the plane he died in. The plane he died in was a Beechcraft 18; not a chance that this little plane is housing 9 people, pilot included.
Cool song first time i heard it
So many rappers sampled this track back in the days.
Salt n Pepa did it better
He was only 26-years-old when he died.
Otis was my kind of man! Have Mercy!
Awww wat a smile man wat a lost thanks for this beautiful clip :)
This is my first time watching this video and I'm surprised because I love Otis Redding music and haven't seen but 1 other video of him.
This video rocks!!!! Great song!!!
Oh, thanks for posting!! I've never seen this before! I love it.
I dnt have a favourite ottis song but this is definitely in my too five
Amazing that there's a video to this, couldn't have imagined it in any other way.
