He was the greatest he tell you in his song sitting on the dock of the bay he said I can’t do what these people want me to he tell you they will kill him if he don’t do what they want
The plane that Otis died in landed on a sheet of frozen ice.The damn pilot told everyone to keep their seat belt on and not move out of their seat.The plane broke the ice and started to float down in the cold water with everyone still strapped in their seat.All but one band member froze and drowned to death.The pilot caused the world to lose the greatest soul singer on our planet.God has Otis back in Heaven and I'm sure he is singing his heart out.
If he had lived til this day,he would’ve written some beautiful songs because he believed in song writing like Sam Cooke did,and sometimes he had Steve Cropper co-writing,I believe he would’ve been writing songs for other artists of today,he had already learned how the business goes,the music business is more than just performance.
As a child growing up in the 60s what a wonderful time for music...I loved Otis Reddings' voice so raw and powerful ...my mama & aunt would play his music all the time; along with Aretha Franklin and everything Motown which was Tamla records at that time. Every weekend we all got together it was so much fun...I miss those days.
I drove through Dawson, Georgia last month. Entering the town,all they have is a small sigh saying it's his home on highway 280. That's such disrespect to me. You'll miss it easily.
Otis musician Jimmy King lived in the same neighborhood. Jimmy skipped school to tour with Otis. Jimmy was so mature for his age. We were all around 17/20 when he died in the plane crash with Otis❤❤❤🎉BEAUTIFUL memories 🎉6/17/24 The bodies had ice on them when they got them out of the water.
I’m confused; People’s confusion about his authoring “Respect” shouldn’t be labeled an accusation of plagiarism- his version was demonstrably 1st. It’s seems disingenuous
I'm a long time fan since the age of 13. He passed around my 18th birthday. I was devastated. Too this day he is still one of my favorite soul artists. ❤❤❤
I had just got married and was reported to man the 1st manager was yazo I Wan his assistant yall came in there driving porch 1 yellow green can't remember the other brothers color but I ran them tricks out of their do yall remember I was married to Charlotte Jones she has a twin Caroline they stayed on Jones dr .tell me I'm liein.
I grew up with his music and all the other great groups and singers of R&B at the time. Eevryone I knew loved his music as well as others in R&B. Every party I ever went to his music as well as all the bands and singers were played. We loved Otis and we were all white. Miss ya Otis . You gave us your best.
Born 1954, while being young, I still remember my family playing his music and talking about Otis Redding and other musicians. Watching this video. I think he accomplished alot so young in his life. May God continue to bless his family🙌🏾❤️🙏🏽 Thank you for the video🫶🏾
so basically the temptations movie was a lie? -they only showed ONE of his children by his wife -they made it seem like he lived longer than 26 years old smh just lies
When Otis started his own record label what got him Killed
Sam Cooke also had his own record label and had to die!
The best two songs l like is These Arms of Mine and Sittin On the Dock of the Bay.
They were all good (songs)!
So glad hos wife kept the rights to his music; and the children keep the positive memory of their parents alive.
I STILL LOVE HIS MUSIC 🎶. 😊
Me too.❤
Otis Redding was pure genius.
OmGOD I loved Otis Redding’s songs ❤❤❤❤❤❤LOVE
He was the greatest he tell you in his song sitting on the dock of the bay he said I can’t do what these people want me to he tell you they will kill him if he don’t do what they want
Rest in Paradise LEGEND.

One of the greatest singers who ever lived.
Otis Redding would improvise and sing like this: Mah na nah nah nah! 😂 But he left a great legacy for us all.
I drove through Dawson, Georgia last month. Entering the town,all they have is a small sigh saying it's his home on highway 280. That's such disrespect to me. You'll miss it easily.
That's so sad😢
I miss him . He and my dad wes good friends. They both use to sing. Robert kemp Worthy was my dad miss my DAD. RIP u both. Love forever ❤❤❤
