Great video

Carl Cunningham was my first cousin and my Dad’s name sake. Matthew Kelly spent his last night on earth laying across the bed in my room telling me how excited he was to have a chance to travel on the plane with the band. Carl, Matthew and other members of the band had their last home cooked meal at our house in Cleveland. My cousins, who had attended the concert along with my Dad, were the first to hear of the crash on a Canadian radio station, at around 5:00 am, as they were traveling back from Cleveland to Erie. I remember them banging on our downstairs door after doing a u-turn to return to our house in Cleveland. Tense moments followed as one by one, a reporter who was friends with my mother, relayed details of the crash and fatalities. The one that impacted my 15 year brain most was hearing that Matthew was lost.

and he has been missed .. ever since

26 years old he looked older for some reason

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 🕯 ⚱️ ⚰️ 🪦

Loreatta Handy Jackson traveled on tour with Mr. Otis. She has a Church in Alabama and she has written a Book she loved Mr. Otis he gave her a big break. She is alive and well in Mobile Alabama she was supposed to be on that plane she said.

I was child in the 60’s but I will never forget the picture I seen in a magazine of Mr. Otis body still strapped in his airplane chair up on a table he looked like he was sleeping.

Dam Otis was 18 years old when rock in roll icons Ritchie Valen & Buddy holly, big bopper were killed in a plane crash. Otis was older than Ritchie at the time, crazy to think about

Rest in peace otis Redding

His voice is still one of the greatest in all time. Many have tried and failed to imitate it. His loss doesn’t get enough attention for thwarting music into the trash it is now. If all he and all the musicians who died on planes had lived, music would be worth our time and money and not be struggling as an industry. Talented musicians have a moral duty to the public to go by train 🚂 ❤

I always thought that My Girl was an Otis song. I hadnt heard the temptatons. My cousin got records sent over from America and This was one of them Along with Dock of the Bay

Gone but still remembered RIP ❤❤

A great wonderful genuine soulful artist the legendary Otis Redding 🙏

Like THE NEW EDITION/BOBBY BROWN movies..... The same formula should have been applied in making the movies based on: "OTIS" AND "THE BAR-KAYS" (THE TRAGIC PLANE CRASH!!) -THE REVIVAL OF "THE NEW BAR-KAYS" -AND "THE REDDINGS" (OTIS'S SONS, INCLUDING OTIS III AND DEXTER) THOSE BACK TO BACK MOVIES WOULD HAVE BEEN CLASSICS!!!

To every season there is a time, a time to be born and a time to die.❤❤ ❤get prepared it's coming sooner than later❤

One of the 👌🏽 😢.singer of his time.

I diddn't know he was only 26 years old He seemed like such an old soul.

100% intent to injure

Intent to injure is apparent, intent to kill maybe not but thats what you get for throwing your blade up like that.

I believe neck guards should be mandatory. Whether or not there was an intention to injure in the incident is beyond me. Accidents can and will happen. Hockey is easily one of the most dangerous sports out there. It is so easy to injure yourself or someone else in hockey- hitting your head wrong on the ice, slamming into the boards- so many things could result in a horrible injury that could, very unfortunately, lead to a death of a beloved player. If there’s anyway to somehow make such a loved sport even slightly less dangerous, players and leagues should be jumping at the opportunity.
