Otis Redding Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa Sad Song) [Video]

[@drchilledair]

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!

[@31415926535equalspi]

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

[@kman33ful]

true, all you said pick yourself up with this tune buddy! :)

[@jahfish]

what led to the song is probably sad … but this is his funky escape! once again: ‚music saves lives‘ 🤟

[@nickysnaith943]

I can feel that this was written through pain but performed with happiness beautiful song

[@carolhughes6702]

I like when he taps the table 😂❤

[@nealthomas1460]

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.

[@31415926535equalspi]

It's wonderful the way he looks at the camera and makes you feel like he's singing just for you.

[@lhart99]

RIP Otis! You're still remembered all these years later. I sure miss you.😢

[@brahim119]

What an incredible singer.

[@scottjones9216]

Otis Redding is a legend . His voice radiates a soul , harmony , and sincerity that reaches into your soul and raises everything that's joyful and real from it . Thank you God for blessing us with him.

[@bugzjuliano3834]

When you sing with the soul, there ain't a pain that can kill you ~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.

[@mrs.xandria8286]

Has to be my favorite song of all time wish we had more music like this.

[@quietsoul9529]

oh yeah big o, my fav

[@eenavid]

love otis ,,,,,funny how hes not comfortable miming this with his band ,,you can see him almost cracking up,, brilliant bit of film....

[@quietsoul9529]

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

[@judithsweeney4982]

Sweet Soul Music will stay alive as long as musical History exists.

[@davidconnelly]

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.

[@jeanmariebasset2544]

Il a enregistré une centaine de chansons,si..........c'est 5 à 600 chansons qu'on écouterait aujourd'hui

[@dmmrad54]

The man had a voice !!!❤

[@bigkhan6904]

Otis is the best singer of all tym and died too soon. I can remember my mom and dad dancing to this in 73.....looking at eachother like I wasn't even in the room...now I sing these songs to my wife....and when I look in her eyez....I get it...nobody matters

[@bigkhan6904]

+ahkielove watch ur mouth boy

[@bigkhan6904]

+ahkielove u care to meet? we can handle whatever issue u got boy.

[@bigkhan6904]

[@sigikattner320]

+ahkielove you are a hound dog

[@ahkielove]

Big Khan internet thug. Your probably in a wheelchair. Stop being tough.

[@oshiondagreat2306]

I find it weird that im more entertained by music from this era and im only 28. Its like i was born in the wrong era man 😢😢❤❤❤

[@kelsyband551]

I've always said this I SO FEEL YOU it's like that era was hell but it was pure love bk then

[@Adam-g2h3w]

U lived during them times u just die and came back

[@cysmith2347]

It’s called soul!

[@shawnclare-nb1up]

A preacher with a beat and a whole lot of reach...thanks to God for this gift!

[@Silviasmother]

spot on my friend

[@melvinad5737]

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

[@seanbaldwin5453]

My two favorite singers for sure. Percy Sledge was the man as well. I'm still trying to search out soul singers that I'd like. Any suggestions?

[@melvinad5737]

Sean Baldwin if you agree with me, you know all the good ones already

[@jimpalma4885]

+Sean Baldwin Solomon Burke, Marvin Gaye, James brown, smokey robinson,

[@austinmart9040]

I definitely agree if Sam and Otis made song together I could only imagine how it would sound!!!

[@nickysnaith943]

Fully agree some of the two best singers ever were lost at a terrible age

[@joef7520]

So glad this was recorded

[@JohnnyFiveEagles]

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.

[@ryankesterson7677]

Well said Sir

[@dlaydi4u]

WOW!. Interesting that you got that. It sounds so real, when I read it.

[@akvalues]

Otis and Marvin are my favorite singers ever. Did you know Sitting By The Dock Of The Bay was gonna have a 3rd verse but he passed before finishing the song.

[@lhart99]

🎵 Sad songs are all I know 🎵 Preach it Otis, preach it!

[@JohnnyFiveEagles]

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.

[@lmscrazytales4549]

Perfect Artist. You will never die.

[@mriyefa2196]

He was so natural. A pure talent.

[@arlenaf.3503]

His Voice hits to the Chore of the Soul. This song goes DEEP.

[@piepelouse]

35ans que mon oncle m’avait fait découvrir Otis Redding et je l’écoute toujours en 2023 ❤merci canaille de m’avoir fait découvrir la vrais bonne musique ❤

[@shadoweng15]

[@olusegunfanibe9382]

Truly a legend. His music lives forever,. RIP

[@lamudeade]

Pure, raw, and soulful.

[@warrendoris9669]

Best.voice ever. First song I learned to play, without sheet music. Otis is why I became a musician.

[@Silviasmother]

Absolute genius. I love this footage as my dad used to play all Otis’ LP’s over & over. The joy for him & the band comes over beautifully-it could be yesterday-we are blessed🙏 love & light to all

[@daniboy28]

My uncle used to play this all the time when I was a kid. That was beautiful...

[@Gunsmith2584]

I randomly wrote fafafafa into my youtube browser and I discovered this rather good song.

[@richardgamble4147]

Mr.Beautiful Otis! Only God can replace him. The world will love him for ever

[@joangabriel6718]

Otis had such a sweet voice,was extremely handsome toooo ❤❤❤

[@jsw2025]

That song, that little video...that's a ton of joy. Music just doesn't get any better.

[@Bellamundo007]

Still a CLASSIC❤❤❤ RIP TO A LEGEND!!!

[@MissyFoxx]

[@robertprock3639]

The goat I grew up listening to Otis back in the 60s my favorite All time

[@mikemyers4348]

Sings with ease. Truly the greatest

[@lilmike2710]

This was a favorite song of an old friend of mine. He's the one that turned me on to it. RIP Mr. Whitt 😢❤️

[@AlTilleyTheBum-pt4mx]

Sorry for your loss. Your friend had a great taste in music.

[@lilmike2710]

@AlTilleyTheBum-pt4mx Indeed. He was an amazing Bass player with a music talent that was off the charts. And as humble as a man can be

[@ToniA5555]

Unsung brought me here. Otis did not live long enough to show the world his true genius.

[@SmithShaNesha]

Me too

[@dorothyspeaks6997]

I know you aren't supposed to question God but I just don't understand why such a talented, gifted, nice man was taking from us... It really hurts.

[@tippimail1]

The DJ's used to play this in Kansas City on KPRS radio in 1967.Huge hit for Otis.R.I.P.They used to play Mr.Pitiful also,among others.

[@davidzdziarek-zl8cu]

A Big FA-FA-FA-FA-FA-FAT hit for Otis in the Autumn of '66.

[@jackpalance9509]

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.

[@ariellehart6632]

[@moka-ok3dv]

Merveilleux Otis,trop tôt parti, que de beaux souvenirs et de belles chansons 🎵🌼🌹🌹💮💞😇😇

[@Im_jeanpaul]

An American legend. Died too early. Papa Wemba recreated this song in 1995 with Juliet Roberts. This is beautiful music.

[@wandadominick6320]

I know this man music is like 16 years before my time. He" is great,he is a legend, I can listen to him all night long. I hate he died before his time. The fa fa fa song sound good to me. Thank God for bringing Otis music into our life.

[@davidw20050]

Man, they don't make em like that any more. Great stuff, back when music was music

[@jm7929]

I just stumbled on this video looking up this song I've known about but I never knew the video existed, my eyes are welled up in tears and I smiled the whole time watching this.❤

[@jessewise9004]

One of the first songs my pop pop ever taught me when I was little. We aren’t close anymore but I’m grateful that he put me on early to music like this and I’m 30 still listening to it

[@oliviamckeever9644]

He just keeps singin those sad, sad songs!!!!

[@adonaiyah2196]

Glad to see the videos are back

[@patrickhammond2051]

The second verse has to be the most powerful vocal re-entrance in music.

[@DonnaBascombe-c5f]

So real it still makes me cry just live to hear him sing love is the answer

[@dennisguy5619]

Real music

[@olajawonb]

So thankful for the video back in the 60s

[@streadypierre]

To be so COOL and and charismatic when all around was ignorance and racism, definition of roll model :-D

[@lakewalker11]

Great Great Great...Otis was the coolest dude ever. Thanks for posting this rare film!

[@pieroangelo2]

eccezzionale!!! il migliore!!!

[@veronicariggins4416]

I grew up listening to this type music in our home.. words had meaning to it 😊

[@djstorm40]

I was Today years old when I heard this song 6.30. 2022,and I'm 50 and some change years old, in a movie with Ice Cube,and Keekee Palmer,and fell in love with it!...

[@joniachenbach410]

I love this man.

[@sandywitecki1231]

I just love Soul music and can't believe that people like rap! I can't stand all of the anger they cry about but in the relationships I have with people of color the men are really pretty angry at the women. At least in soul we can all identify with them. Yea1

[@noahjemo5183]

+Sandy Witecki I like hiphop and soul... ?

[@TheMrMusique]

Otis is a f**king legend!

[@bizproquo]

Big gOat….!!
