I love this song. I had it on a 45 record when I was a young kid. I would sit in my room with my little record player and play it over and over. Thanks for this one.
I moved to Oakland across the Bay from San Francisco in 1979, with no prospects and not knowing anyone within a thousand miles. I was selling my plasma twice a week to eat, and heard this tune when I was hooked up to the needle. A wave of self pity and sadness overwhelmed me, but left me with hope and love in my heart.
The song was unfinished when Redding died in a plane crash. The whistling at the end was supposed to be temporary filler for an unfinished final verse. The song, released after Redding died, became the first posthumous single to top the U.S. charts.
@@sndrka12 I did not claim Otis was the person who whistled in the song. However, I was not aware it was his producer. Thank you for providing this information
I still get the same haunting feeling of his ghost singing through the wires, long after he had passed. Even from the beginning. It was as if he knew his life would be a short one. The sadness in his voice was that of a man thrice his age. Bless you brothers for keeping his soul alive. Madloba.
I'd like to proudly consider myself one of his biggest fans. Although he passed 20 years before I was even born, i feel a connection to his music and the way he carried himself. Thank you both for spreading his music of love . The world could sure use it.
Great Otis songs include: "Try A Little Tenderness", "I've Been Loving You Too Long" and "These Arms Of Mine". A very influential artist to singers/musicians of all genres. Nicknamed the "King of Soul". As has been mentioned, this song was recorded before the last verse was written, so he just whistled (beautifully).
I have the OTIS BLUE vinyl and it is said he recorded it in one take. There is said that he forseen his death. Sad to see his body being pulled from the Dock. He was 27 and his voice sounds like he had been around forever. The most beautiful voice.
I grew up in Madison, WI, where his plane crashed in 1967, on its way to Truax Field which wasn't far from where I lived, Over a decade before I was born I should add. I went by Lake Monona hundreds of times in my time in Madison, there is a plaque on the coastline in remembrance to Otis and the other members of his band that died that night.
Gosh, this beautiful and melodic song really takes me back, it was played all the time in the mid to late 60s. Otis Redding had such a fantastic voice and the whole song just carries you along. It was released in 1967 a short time before Otis Redding was killed in a plane crash in December of that year. He was only 26 so really tragic and it just seems to give this fabulous song an extra poignancy. Some other great songs by this amazing singer are My Girl, Respect and Stand By Me. Thanks so much for your reaction, guys.
Omg such a classic..... WE have family property on the Gaspe Coast in Quebec.... When we get to go home. WE go down on our beach Listen to this wonderful piece. To get out of the cement jungle......... Cheers
I am 62 years old. I can still remember when I was 9 years old and my parents getting this album in the mail. They belonged to a record club. Albums came once a month. My father enjoyed this album so much. Great reaction ❤
You’re love his song “Ive Been loving you Too Long” (live at Monterey 1967). Would love for you guys to react to The Band/ Staples- The Weight ( The Last Waltz).
I know I posted this comment before, but Otis Redding was from Georgia and he was sitting about 'Frisco Bay, which is San Francisco Bay in California. He was lonely because he left his family and friends behind in Georgia.
I used to think he had probably written it while in SF, but I learned recently he was across the bay on the waterfront of Sausalito. I love the SF Bay Area ! Used to live 6hrs north, but visited there dozens of times.
One of the BEST songs ever .... this song is timeless .... NEVER tire of it. My ears r blessed every time I hear it Great pick thus week Be well Fr across the waters Canada 🇨🇦 🐥❣️🐥hugs all
George & Patrick - I highly recommend Otis Redding: "Try A Little Tenderness" ❤✌🎵 Did you see the movie "Pretty In Pink"? It's the song Duckie dances & lip syncs in the record store to. Great song!
Band: RAM JAM Song: BLACK BETTY GREAT SONG👏👏👍 it was written a long time ago by a Black Gentleman...a really slow version orig. It was sung by the prisoners working on the rail roads Chain Gang back in the day THIS BAND... RAM JAM MADE A NEW ROCK VERSION... ("VEVO" VIDEO) YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SIT IN YOUR SEAT Great Rock Song 👏👏👏👍 YOU WILL LOVE THIS VERSION... 🇺🇸
Great song here guys & singing bout Georgia😉 I think artists can only hope they can make u feel what they're singing .. which is exactly what Otis does here. Perfect song to go to the dock of the bay .. cop a squat & chill out😉 Good to see y'all here dudes .. b safe & well .. Peace Out ✌🏼❣️😊
Fellas, there's a song from the same time period that has a similar vibe by Bobby Hebb called "Sunny" that he wrote about his murdered brother. It's well worth a listen
Can you react to Bonnie Raitt and her song, I Can’t Make You Love Me? You guys wanted more suggestions of female singers. Kelly Clarkson is another suggestion.

He wrote the most beautiful music.
This song is the theme of life. It doesn't turn out how we expect or want but got the make due with the blessings of the small things.

Otis never whistled in his life, it was the producer that whistled just to finish the song and Otis agreed to this.

@@sndrka12😮 ❤
One of my FAVORITE songs!!!!!!!
You both are such dear smart deep young man. I love you reaction videos. So genuine. So beautiful. Take great care
The song is a soul and American classic. It was rated 26th in Rolling Stone Magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of all time.
Talkin' about the San Francisco Bay. R.I.P. Otis
I still get the same haunting feeling of his ghost singing through the wires, long after he had passed. Even from the beginning.

@@cynthiawhite9830 Thank you kindly, Cynthia!

He was sitting on the Dock of a Bay in San Francisco 😊❤ Love your reactions guys...keep the passion !😊.....Fin from London.
Otis never got to see his song hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart!
Mr Otis Redding….. beautiful memories going on right now…… 💜

💯 Excellent suggestions for future reaction songs‼
@@margiemcpeak9304 thank you!
“Pain in My Heart”, “Down in the Valley” and “Ole Man Trouble” are underrated gems as well.
I love this song
You might also like Drift Away by Dobie Gray.
Amazing soul.
Classic song....Otis legend ~
"It's a soul song." And Otis is the ultimate soul man. One of the most evocative voices ever. Bless him.

Otis Redding could touch my soul, by singing the alphabet. We have lost so many great artists to airplane crashes.
Otis - so much soul. Loved him. Do more Otis.
Omg such a classic..... WE have family property on the Gaspe Coast in Quebec.... When we get to go home. WE go down on our beach Listen to this wonderful piece. To get out of the cement jungle......... Cheers
I just have to hear a few notes of this rendition and the onions start chopping themselves up, just like that. Great choice, guys.
Al Green ~ "Tired Of Being Lonely"....!!!
One of my all time favorite songs.
reminds me of a great song by Jimmy Cliff, "Sitting in Limbo"

"Too Long"
He recorded this song and died before it was released 😢
These arms of mine is Otis’ masterpiece though
Otis was born in my hometown, Dawson, Ga.
Otis and whole band died on plane crash, i still play much if his music

check out Marvin Gaye , What's Going On , it's a small taste of the motown sound
The whistling at the end replaced an unsung verse that Mr. Redding never got to record.
George & Patrick - I highly recommend
Otis Redding: "Try A Little Tenderness"
❤✌🎵 Did you see the movie "Pretty In Pink"? It's the song Duckie dances & lip syncs in the record store to. Great song!
Lookinglass' "Brandy" and this song go together like peas and carrots.
Brings back some wonderful summer memories of many years ago. Good music has a way of letting you relive times past.
When I was young I absolutely loved this song.
Yes, THE GATES OF DELIRIUM.

He left his home in Georgia to make a dock in San Francisco Bay his home.
Shaman-Fary Tale (ritualive)

Wow you got it
Great reaction to this song, guys....good breakdown of the words/lyrics.....thanks...
ooohhhhyes
❤️
An all time great both singer & song !
Please check out his amazing performance at The Monterey Pop Festival ✌😎
Hey you guys need to react to Child of Vision by Supertramp. It has in my opinion, the greatest piano solo of all time and it’ll take you on a trip.
You guys need to try URIAH HEEP song try Magicians Birthday or Gypsy original album one 1972 or 1970
Great song! Another classic is “when a man loves a woman”. Check out Home Free’s amazing cover
Fellas, there's a song from the same time period that has a similar vibe by Bobby Hebb called "Sunny" that he wrote about his murdered brother. It's well worth a listen

Good singer-songwriter: Try A Little Tenderness, I've Been Loving You Too Long, I've Got Dreams To Remember, and one of Aretha's biggest hits RESPECT.
Records this timeless masterpiece on December 6, 1967….dies 4 days later in a plane crash.
Love this. Y’all should check out These Arms of Mine ♥️
Another huge talent lost in a plane crash. R.I.P Otis xx
Summer pool days as an 8 year old
Great song different type could you please check out Uriah heel stealing please
Please react to Sam Cook - a change is gunna come
He left his home in Georgia and headed for the Frisco Bay - San Francisco !! NEVER CALL IT FRISCO!!!!
The lyrics are so sad. I believe the subject of the song was contemplating suicide as he sat on the dock. "...I have nothing to live for..."
Isn't it funny how two Russians are making money reacting to American Music.
Hey dude's how about reacting to some Russian artist ?
