- On Dec. 10, 1967, a twin-engine Beechcraft carrying Otis Redding crashed into Lake Monona in Madison, killing Redding and four members of his touring band, the Bar-Kays. Otis Redding was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989. Shortly before his death, he wrote and recorded “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay with Steve Cropper. News Footage: WKOW/Wisconsin Historical Society owns the rights to the footage.
I was 5 years old and I remember my mom on her knees in the bedroom balling her eyes out! He was her favorite singer at the time
My grandpa is in this video! 🥹 Thank you for putting this footage together. This means a lot to me and my family. I knew he dove on this one, but to see his face, getting out of the water was very special to me. 😭
Is this your grandpa at 2:51? ruclips.net/video/Cq4Tbp0Jay4/видео.html
AMAZING!!!
That is so awesome for your family. Did he ever talk about the plane crash?
❤❤❤
Locate the time if you don't mind
This happened decades before I was born, and it still breaks my heart
U have a soul my friend, and a caring one at that.
I was born in 1968 so it happened a year before I was born. But his music will never ever die.
My Birthday is Dec. 11th. I was 9 yrs old. But I just found out the Barkays was on the flight. I was devistated.. I was in love wit sitting on the dock of the bay.
What I love about Otis Redding in that song. He could whisper it. Almost.better than he sing it.
I was born three years after this, and feel the same. You know what's greatness Kevin- Peace
@@Jamestele1 yes, you are right.
Man this right here still hurts until this day I just want to tell everyone who is on this post god bless yall.. I know it's hard to watch until this day.. when I loss my daughter it still hurts until this day love and peace we all God's children.. amen
Sorry you lost you're little angel
God bless both of us
God bless you as well
🙏🙏! I just loss my son a few months ago tragic accident😭 he was only 24.. Now its just me and my 19 year old son.. Lord Jesus give us parents the strength that have loss a child😭💔
@@kimmiekisses9738 Aww man. Keep strong.
Such an amazing voice we lost a lot when we lost Otis Redding and the band😥😥😥💔💔🙏🙏
The Bar-Kays. The Only Person who survived was The Late Ben Cauley.
Very true. Amazing Voice
@@justantrevinoadams2523he passed in 2015
Didn't realise he was so young when he died 😢
I can still hear "I've been loving you" coming from the livingroom of that run down little two bedroom house in Texas. My mom would play it every time her heart was heavy. It helped her cope with being a single mother of four addicted to heroin. I put it on now when i need help coping with memories of my mom.
It was the saddest day in R&B/Soul music when Otis got killed. His voice was amazing. I have just about all his 45s in my huge 45s collection.
@Justin Collins oh yeah that was a sad day as well. Sam Cooke invented soul
Killed and not died ? Care to elaborate?
@@DaytonaHills Oh you know what I mean. His music will never die.
I'm 35 and I'm still heartbroken about his death. Otis Redding is one of my favorite singers and he was my late father's favorite singer. Rest In Peace to the both of them.
No the saddest was when Queen Aaliyah died 🤷🏽♂️
Been loving Otis for so long and just found out today he died in a plane crash and was only 26 years old!?? Mannnnn RIP to the Legend
Just found out this min myself. Sad.
I really am glad this is available to see. Rest In Paradise Otis Redding, you are missed and loved! I've visited your memorial here in Wisconsin so many times. Thanks for listening to me when I speak to your spirit. Wisconsin Historical Society...Thank you for sharing!
He died two decades before I was born, still, this mans soul moves my soul to the core. I wonder what music would have been like if he hadn’t died way too early.. I love u Otis!❤️
Me and my Dad love his songs. Otis Redding will be missed forever. R.I.P to the Soul legend Otis Redding 1941-1967.
This is still so heartbreaking to watch even though it happened over 53 years ago.
My mom had a Jet magazine when they were 25 cents back then, and I made a copy of this article of their deaths 😢💔👼🌹 🌹🌹🎤. So sad 😢!!!! When they pulled him out of the water, he was still strapped in the seat!!! Looking as if he were asleep 😢💔. RIP Otis Redding, we miss you so much 😢!!!! That man could sing his ass off!!! And he was tall too!!! Take care of yourself and your family during this coronovirus pandemic 😷 ok. Much love from Bunn NC. 👋💖💖💖😊.
Aretha White imagine how cold he felt. One minute you sitting on a plane✈️ you black out and when you wake up you’re in the middle of a freezing lake in Wisconsin during December 🥶 I saw that jet magazine too he was frozen stiff
Is he buried on his wife's property
Roxboro NC here and Otis music transcends time
I just googled those pics of him strapped in the seat! So sad!
@@DJaySplitSecond it's heartbreaking to see 🥺
This was one sad day in my history , to see the bandmates being pulled from the water still buckled in their chairs after the crash. 😢
OTIS WAS THE BADDEST SOUL SINGER MISS HIS MUSIC STILL LISTEN TO HIM LIVE.
I love a lot of 60s and 70s soul music, with Otis Redding being at the top of the list. This is both captivating and heartbreaking. Janis Joplin went with friends to see Otis one night, after taking LSD. She watched his every movement, and they say she took on many of his characteristics afterward. I can hear it, as strange as it sounds. He was really taken to soon. Even Jim Morrison mentioned him in a song. RIP Otis- You were the greatest performer of your era.
Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison is the greatest 🥺🙏🏽
I wonder if Janis saw Otis before or after they both performed (separately) at the Monterey Pop Festival. I love Janis too.
I've watched many historys of different Greats, including those that we've lost and it's an interesting sidebar, that the Bee Gees wrote a song a few months prior to his accident, to record I believe. It was a Blues tune called....(... Lord let me remember correctly),...Saturday Night Fever. As it turned out it ended up in the movies... ushering in Disco! The Bee Gees had never even heard of disco at the time, but they got blamed for it or accredited for it I should say.
I sure would have loved to hear Otis Reddings' version in the style that, only he could've done. ✌😎👍
Peace brutha O.
@@alfamike7336they wrote the song to Love Somebody but Otis died before he could record it. They wrote the Saturday night fever songs in 76 or so. Long after Otis died.
I was in the Air Force when he died in that plane crash, hurts my heart ❤️ still .
Bless the divers
They had to take turns diving and trying to find the bodies because the water was soo cold they could only go down 25 minutes at a time. They found Otis 3 days later at the bottom of the lake strapped in his seat💺 he was frozen stiff as a statue 🥶
@@kidkully - Why do you keep posting comments like this, talking about how he was frozen stiff. You've posted the same thing over and over again. It's like you get some kind of perverse pleasure out of describing his death.
@@Kindred04 I’m just being honest
@@Kindred04 how would you feel in that cold water? 🥶
This hearts my heart... Otis Redding had an amazing voice, Rest in Peace Otis 🤍🕊✨
Lord have mercy we done lost some great bands that spoke to our hearts and souls in plane crashes...
I lived about a block from here (Lake Monona, Madison, WI) back in the 1980s and know exactly where this is and how it looks. Otis Redding literally died in my backyard about 20 years earlier......
When they pan the camera to downtown, my mom’s office is in the shot. She worked at the state office building that overlooks the lake. I think Dad might have been working in that building at the time too. She and Dad both remember(ed) that day very well.
Small world amigo.
@@ItsJustLisa imagine how cold he must have felt in lake minona during December 🥶 the divers had to take turns every 20-25 minutes because the water was so cold. Otis was found three days later still strapped in his seat 💺 frozen stiff 🥶
Back in 1980, a guy showed me where the plane went down in the lake.
Sometimes I would go sit by the lake over where he showed me.
By Olin Drive.
I remember that, I was 7 yrs old.
It still reminds me of Sharon Tate.
They both would’ve been big, big stars.
It’s sad.
So much talent on that plane rest easy 2 all who lost their lives
I wa 9 years old when this happened. I can remember how upset my mother and everybody was.it broke my heart.when I used to hear sitting on the dock of the bay..so sad
I had been a fan of The Big O since 1965, I was in Jr High when I saw it on TV during the morning news around 7:30 am.I was sadden for the remainder of the day. When I got home I played every record I had by him. I regret that I never saw him perform in person because he appeared at venues that were for adults.
His magnanimous future was so brief. I remember as well! I was a teenager and we jammed off his music. I never realized how young he was!! Lost a Legend!!😪❣
26 years old!!
Old soul, he didnt look 26
@@dominiquejones3805 I say the same thing! Otis had such an old soul everyone thought he was older than what he was.
I can't believe he was so young, his death was before my mom was born and just after my dad was born. I'm 32 and this an all time favorite. 26 years young:(
I Remember This Day Like Were Yesterday And I Cry So Hard RIp Otis Redding
RIP to the king of soul music and his band on board 😔 🌼 🌻 🌸 🌹 💮 🏵 🌼.
I was just turning 6 years old. This happened on my birthday December 10th. I remember my Sister was away in college.But she came home because everyone on campus was mourning.Sad memories.
The white men that posed with Otis Redding body being upside down and them smiling next to Otis Redding is sickening.
@@nofilter451 you Betta preach!
Very sick
I WAS 15 WHEN THIS HAPPENED &I REMEMBER CRYING SO SAD & HE WAS SOOOOOO YOUNG😢 MAY HE & HIS SON OTIS REDDING 3RD REST IN PEACE❤❤❤❤❤😢
The Greatest SOUL that Ever Existed...
Otis made me wanna become A MAN!
Rest in Peace x
He was so young 😭 it makes his music all the more heartbreaking for me
What a terrible job the recovery team had to do. But very professional.
he died long before my time but this still hurts to watch. Big O is my favorite artist and my great grandmother’s aswell. I hope he is resting in peace 🤍
I remember this day as a little child, and my parents was sad and hurt by Otis had died.
R.I.P. Otis Redding
you made your mark you will be remembered.💔🥀
Ben Cauley of the Bar-Kays was the lone survivor on the plane. The rest never woke up according to the documentary and drowned in their sleep. Another member of the Bar-Kays caught a different flight because the plane carrying Otis Redding and the Bar-Kays was full to the max, lucky for him. Such a sad story. Otis Redding's biggest hit of his music career was released after his death-Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay.
Not true, they hit the water and drowned in the frigid cold lake, not sleeping
Otis was a young man but the Bar Kays where just teenagers. So sad RIP fellas
Otis , 26 an barkays, still high school.
How many Bar Bays passed away
"Poor Otis, dead and gone, left me here to sing his song. Poor Otis, dead and gone." ~ Jim Morrison
ce tragique accident est arrivé quand j'avais 18 ans , on a tous été traumatisés par sa disparition brutale , Otis était au sommet de son talent et de son humanité ... qu'il repose en paix , ainsi que tous ses musiciens .
The man could sing the birds out of the trees, miss him.
I remember the biography and I can still see them bringing him up, that messed me up
One of the greatest losses in music ever. My favourite singer of all time. So much passion and soul. Wayne Jackson of the Memphis horns said it best. When Otis died in Dec 67 & MLK was murdered in Memphis 4.5 months later, everything changed Memphis & Stax before this was a beautiful place & community producing amazing music. After this, it was dangerous, somewhere you didn’t feel safe or have good vibes being around. Soul music was never the same again
The pilot was warned that it was too foggy to fly, but they went anyway. Landed in the lake by mistake, but only one of them could swim and the rest drowned. RIP.
My dad was on the Police Boat the day they brought up the plane. His name was Officer Richard W Olson.😭😭
Am so happy their showing this clip. They found his body and the plane also his musicians the best ever.. Oh my word and Otis voice it still give me some crazy feeling but good.. May their souls rest in peace...I love you Otis
Dear heart. Did they find out what was the reason the plane crashed. They were
Right at their destination..
So much talent, gone so young.
Most certainly one the sadder staples of musical history. HISTORY NONE THE LESS! REST IN PARADISE TO ALL LIVES LOST 🙏
We lost a great beautiful Beautiful Beautiful voice ❤💜 rest in peace great one
I am so grateful for these men, who risked their lives to retrieve the plane. Were the bodies still inside? If so, these rescue workers also willingly went onto or into frigid waters to salvage the bodies. Don't listen to the politicians and professor who want young people to believe that America has never had good, kind, selfless people in it.
Thanks
RIP Otis .....
So young and talented :( this breaks my heart ..
Yes
Just thinking that i was 3 months from being born when this happened. March 1968
Sad his time was way too short . Too many of my favorites died too young .
Something is strange about his post mortem picture stilling in a chair and bleeding. With marks on his face. Why is he still in a chair?? And why is it not sitting up??? And the man standing over him so weird. Looking angry and mad. This was a post mortem picture, he didn't need to be in the picture. And tied in a chair. With a crazy man standing over his corpse.
Greatest entertainer of all time !
This breaks my heart. How did the plane go down. Im a huge otis fan. Sittin on the dock of the bay, my favorite. Great talent. Rip otis.
Plane was on autopilot then turned off for landing. During the trip, ice formed on the surface of the plane. This caused the engines to malfunction, bringing it crashing into the water.
Otis was probably like oh shit!! This is cold!!! A lake in Wisconsin in December plus black people hate the cold
@@martymcfly5842 I know you have more info. Can you pls let me no where I can locate some more details.
@@kidkully I doubt those were his last thoughts. Learn what empathy is.
Look up contemporary newspaper accounts. Your local library probably has them stored on microfilm.
Whenever I drove by lake monona in Wis would always say hey to Otis.
The Music 🎵🎶 World 🌎🌍 Lost 2 of the Biggest Stars of the 1960s. Sam Cooke and Otis Redding. RIP GENTLEMEN.
🙏🏾Otis/Barkays
So, he was IN the dock of the bay?
Exactly. He song his own death. Creepy
Wow
Aaliyah Otis Redding Kobe Bryant die from plane crash damn
...Bessie Coleman too. How often do planes fall from the sky?
@@BibleMagick8TV I never heard of Bessie coleman
Don't forget Richie Valens, Buddy Holly an the Big Bopper
@@DC-op8fs I never heard of buddy Holly or big bopper I heard of Richie Valens never them
@@BibleMagick8TV They almost never do.... All those people were killed including Otis the record business is EVIL.... Otis was about to do a deal with James brown to own his own music.... They stopped that
Otis was killed on my 12th birthday how sad life cut too short.
This makes me think of "Sitting on the dock of the bay" like did he foresee this?
I was born that morning 10.35 a.m Detroit mi hutzel hospital Detroit med centre
R.I.P.
HIS LIVE AT THE WHISKEY A GO GO AND CROSS THE WATER WHEN HE TOUR EUROPE.
They claim they didn't find Otis Redding until days later of finding all the other people in the plane crash I don't believe that's true he was a young black man that was making his own money and started his own music company making his own albums pushing out the middleman that was not going to go down well. I personally believe he survived the crash and I've seen pictures of him where he's beat to death sitting in an airplane seat still strapped in and they say that's how they found him. It's just awful funny how entertainers die in plane crashes. Patsy Cline Buddy Holly the Big bopper Ritchie Valens Kobe Bryant just to name a few. I think they were very well staged and planned events because the celebrities started doing things their way
What that’s makes no sense at all
@@carolinemorley5546 a lot of artists get murdered off once they want control/own power. Jackie Wilson, Sam Cooke were murdered as well.
Don't make it to be something it's not.race had nothing to do with the crash and whenever they found him he couldn't have survived the crash.writing this in April 2022 after hearing of the death of NFL qb Dwayne Haskins.we all go it's just a matter of when stay safe people and pray for our world cause it's in bad shape.
I have no opinion on it, butt I wonder what the family thinks happened?
WTH, you just made me damn dizzy with that stupidness, if you do not know the facts do not play with this man's name!!!
Conspiracy.
He should have just postponed the concert😢❤😢
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Echoes of Patsy, Buddy, Jim Croce and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Eerily, he died on the anniversary of the senseless murder of his idol Sam Cooke.
So sad 🥀
One of a few i didn't see perform i was in Mexico city heading 2 d U S continue RIP big O
For me simular to JF Kennedy .Otis was / is a monument in music . danmn yes .
All three legend's die in a plane crash Otis Redding Kobe Bryant Aaliyah 💔
Damn!! 26! Only 26! He was well on his way!! Damn! Damn! Damn!
I Looking At The Photos in Jet Magazine As A Kid, Remembering See A Photo Of Otis Still Strapped bc To The Seat Lean Backwards in A Room..... From Blewfoot
I remember the same thing jet magazine and all at 8 yrs old
@@wblk Wow! I Had Just Turned Six in November of 1967... From Blewfoot...
My family members said his bloat3d body was shown in jet magazine.ive seen it online
@@LaDiaF his body had rigor mortis with a bruised face but he was not bloated...I just seen it on google images.
LaDia Ferguson what a horrible way to die! In a cold lake in Wisconsin in the middle of December all that water going in your mouth plus black people hate the cold!
💔💔💔
So sad
Quelle mort tragique d'otis . J'écoute encore ta musique je n'oublierai jamais
Otis was they guy who found McFadden and whitehead.
😢💔
Otis, Sam Cooke, aretha, ray Charles , etc etc all harken to a time when singers actually wrote their own music and didn’t have 10 other co-writers and only got signed for their looks and how provocative they could be. Music today for the most part lacks talent. The just talented new singer I’ve heard in the last couple years is Jon batiste
A man from taht crash survived
Rip
😭😭😭😭
It took 3 Days To Thaw Otis Redding out. That's how long he was in that Lake.
Have a picture of Otis Redding’s funeral there’s only one white man in it and it’s my father
I was born the Otis Redding died
you can see even the diver is feeling the hurt you can tell he's thinking '' fuck I wish I could be doing anything else in the world but looking for the body of this awesome man ''
No u can’t weirdo
I don’t see Otis being pulled on that boat I just see the plane being pulled on to the boat 🤔 which is just proving the conspiracy rumors I’ve been hearing about his death!
😪😪😪🙏🙏
He died on my birth month and day.
My Birthday is 12/11. Died one day before mine
He died on my birthday also (rip)
OTIS & THE OTHERS STAYED THERE UNTIL 1987 WHEN I WENT SWIMMING THERE. I WAZ 11 YRS OLD. THEY SAT ON A PIER WASTING TIME TILL #DEPEARLYG8Z CAME .
