Excess…a twin on timpani drums…really??? He only needed half that band. He was the cats pj’s and he had really crappy management that used him up. Unfortunate loss; he was talented.

I remember and the early 1990's when I was hustling CD's 💿 from Columbia House and others while using different people's addresses so to never pay up by buying a cd for $15.99 or $19.99 plus shipping & handling 😆 🤣 😂 I saw a Otis Redding Greatest Hits and picked it because of the last name, I listened to it and enjoyed it but didn't know about Oris Redding. In the summer of 1994, a whole bunch of my cd's were stolen when my dad's store was broken into in Miami (Lil Haiti 🇭🇹) so I re-order the Otis Redding Greatest Hits and all of his albums. It took around the late 1990's when E! Channel had the E! True Hollywood Story hosted by AJ Benza which was 30 minutes long with commercials and find out that The Late Great Otis Redding died in a plane crash and the water. They found Otis Redding's body after a couple days later and it showed the bloated deceased body of Otis Redding sad 😔 ... May The Soul & Spirit of Otis Redding and all those who lost their lives that day continue 🙏 to Rest Peacefully Eternally 🕯 ⚱️ ⚰️ 🪦

I saw the re-runs of Ready Steady Go, in the 1980's on British TV and was blowed away by Otis's live performance. The girl dancers were amazing. On the original clip, you can see them laughing as Otis & the band extend 'I can't turn you loose', which happens to be my favourite Otis song. I love his live versions of the song at Whisky go go club in 1967. Just a shame, there's no videos. He seemed to be so grounded as well. Little Richard was hilarious when they inducted Otis into Rock & Roll Hall of fame.

It is absolutely crazy to think that a black man could not be on a cover of his own record! I mean, the Americans really were twisted in their heads ... even then. I so glad I grew up in Europe. We may not be perfect but at least we could recognize people for what they were. My parents, now in their late 80', always played black artists when I was growing up. Nobody ever talked about the colour of their skin.

Lol stop it. First off that was the South. That didn't happen in New York or California. ALSO please stop acting like there isn't racism in Europe. I'm from NYC but I'm a huge football fan. I've been to games in several countries where black players have has monkey noises made at them every time they touched the ball. And this was 2 -5 years ago not 60

@@sbakernyc5761 I can see from my parent and my own old vinyls that it wasn't a problem being black here as an artist. I think that is what I said. I wasn't talking about football and I was generalizing. And racisms was never endemic here.

This was a great documentary. I loved Motown at school in the eighties, but Stax was the mutts nuts for Soul music and Otis in particular. Even now, forty or so years later, it still amazes me how good this music was, Sam & Dave too. Otis is still my 'go to' artist when not sure what to play next.
