Otis Redding died on December 10
1967. I just love his song Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay. Talk about laid back! It became a hit after he died in a plane
crash. It was recorded by him only 3
days before the crash. He was only 26 –
what a loss to the music world.
I love his music! "Try a Little Tenderness" is my favorite from him!
ReplyDeleteOMG! I didn't know he died so long ago! I love this song too, I was around 13-14 when it came out and I also love Try a Little tenderness...I loved soul music from the 60's and early 70's. Thanks for the reminder.

Great post! I didn't even know the anniversary of his death was coming up. I had the fortune (or misfortune) to see the marker in his honor at Monona Terrace in Madison this fall (he died in Lake Monona). "Try A Little Tenderness" is my favorite song of his as well.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful artist taken too soon. This was a classic song from my youth.
ReplyDeleteI love Otis Redding. That's how strong my love is - was our wedding song. I didn't realize that he passed so long ago!
ReplyDeleteAmen! I forgot he was so young, but then way too many musician back in the 60'/70's died young. Jimmy, Janis, Morrison, Buddy Holly...
