    Not only did he die in the plane crash, but this was released posthumously. It was the first ever song released posthumously to reach #1 in the U.S.

    I hope I dont' piss off too many people when I say this, but it's truly the way I feel. Genres are for small minded people. If you only listen to one or two types of music, you're missing out. Most of the song on today's list are songs I haven't heard in years, and they reached inside and touched my soul. I honestly loved every minute of it. MollyBoy, keep the variety coming. Keep expanding. If people don't like it, you don't need them in your life anyway. The true music fans will help get you to 100K

    Otis' music was magic. Janis Joplin used to go and watch him regularly at his residency in LA and she quotes Otis' style, his manner of singing and his movements on stage were a huge influence on her. Dock of the Bay is a pretty slow tempo tune for Otis. His back catalogue has some bangers.

    Quote:
    "In 1990, Cropper said of the song's creation: "Otis was one of those kind of guys who had 100 ideas. The story that I got he was renting boathouse or stayed at a boathouse or something and that's where he got the idea of the ships coming in the bay there. And that's about all he had.
    --
    "'I watch the ships come in and I watch them roll away again'. I just took that... and I finished the lyrics. If you listen to the songs I collaborated with Otis, most of the lyrics are about him."

    I was a little kid when this came out. I remember my parents loved it and really identified with it. We lived in the San Francisco Bay Area and so many people like them moved from the Southern states to the Bay Area for work. Dad worked in the shipyards of the East Bay for quite some time. So it does have kind of a special meaning for me given our family history and now that my folks are gone. But yeah, Otis Redding had such a beautiful, southful voice. As far as the plane crashes - back then many artists had to travel from city to city promoting their songs on the various local radio stations, pretty much by order of their record companies. Usually a performance or two would be done in those cities as well. A lot of traveling and instead of tour busses or commercial airlines they took smaller light planes. So much flying in what is the most unsafe craft to do it in.

    Oh this really got me today. I loved this as an 11 year old in the UK when it first came out then in 1985 after I’d met my American husband, I moved to the US, just outside San Francisco with him. I vividly remember the first time we went into the city and sat swinging our legs dockside, eating sour dough bread and fresh crab from Allioto’s at Fisherman’s wharf, and singing this song together. He passed away in 2018 and while this memory hurt today as I listened to it on your channel, I wouldn’t change it for anything. Thank you for your review and for your genuine appreciation of music. It doesn’t matter what era it’s from - If it speaks to you that’s all that matters.

    Ah the Soul genre
    this is a feel good for me, if I'm pissed off, or sad I go to the beach and just sit and look at the sea. This song is often an earworm. Just calms you. Feels good. ✌️

    Thanks for taking the time to hear the music from earlier generations. The story is that when Otis recorded this, it had not been completely finished. He improvised with whistling because the rest of the lyrics were still being written. A classic that many people connected with at the time.

    Back in the day songs were short because the standard 10 inch 78 rpm record { pressed up until the early 60's for use in old juke boxes } only played for about 3 minutes per side. The short song format carried through the 45 rpm era even though the 45 could play longer. Wasn't 'till the 70's when 'album rock' started having longer tracks.

    1968 my freshman year in college. One of our favorite songs to sing, 2. Whenever it came on the radio and back then. It was the only way you heard music was because of radio.
