    A sad song, perhaps. But his body language exudes happiness. Whenever I watch this video it's like a trip to the moon and back. Just look at his face! It radiates intelligence, SATISFACTION, joy, comaradarie, and. . .a skosh of devilment. Whenever I feel down, watching this will pick me right up!

      drchilledair I agree. He is pure charisma and at the peak of life. Seems in his element and in his prime. Very uplifting.

    Many cool cats in this world, but Otis was one of the coolest. He was a natural. His mannerisms tell the story . A true reflection of him and his good nature . This type of talent is special and rare.

    He was only 26 when he died. He was just getting warmed up! What a shame. I wonder what other great songs the world has missed out on. It's desperately sad.

      @quietsoul9529 9 лет назад

      otis got a lot of soul that follows no script.... that lip synching thing mix like oil and water...he sings and expresses as he feels in the moment on a song and that could mean 12 different versions of the same song. He was the best ad- libber there ever was

    ~1ofmy Mexican Proverbz
    Otis Redding, man! This song helped me heal a lot of those pains.
    It takes me back to innocence. A time where I understand Love's Pains.

  • @JohnnyFiveEagles
    @JohnnyFiveEagles 11 лет назад +36

    Funny how some singers and some songs resonate in our hearts. All the loss, all the friends gone, my health- the reality of growing old. Its sad sometimes. but I think that Otis was trying to communicate that we are to somehow rise above the pain and the loss and find that we are really blessed by life and its passage. He was good. Then he was taken away which sometimes happens to our greatest artists throughout history. thanks for the video.

    Sam Cooke and Otis Redding were two incredibly talented men. They would have written and recorded a wealth of beautiful, meaningful music had they not been taken from this earth so young. They were really just beginning. Could anyone disagree with me? no

  • @JohnnyFiveEagles
    @JohnnyFiveEagles 11 лет назад +16

    That was the mastery of Otis. He could take a sad subject and imbibe it with a life, an energy. There was something uplifting about this song. It was sad but man what a positive message. You know that was also the schizophrenic nature of the times. That decade was one of contrasts: Vietnam vs. peace and love; racial equality vs. the riots of the Black peoples in the inner cities; sad songs that contain positive imagery.

    Love it. The flow of Otis and his band chopping it up in 60's Memphis. The lighter hued men supporting the Big O...You can see the brotherly love and the camaraderie...I cannot imagine the shock and sadness to those that knew him when the plane went down. Bless you for posting this.
