It's BEAUUUTIFUL that it was televised in Macon, Georgia, his hometown.

Sad. I love hearing Johnnie Taylor sing.

Johnnie Taylor and the Big O. Grew up listening to those two

Wow this is stunning, I never even knew about the ceremony being held in Macon. Thanks for sharing. Love Otis. He’ll always be one of GA’s finest sons

Otis was different to all the others, i have never been into Soul but Otis was the one i found that sounded so different & put a different edge on it, you can alway tell Otis as he had a different sounding wonderful singing voice

Actual footage of Otis Redding funeral. Never realized that it was televised. So sad.

[@zeplinali189]

U have some great, rare videos. Classic material

[@Linneydenise]

Watch this right after I watched Otis unsung documentary with Zelma and his daughter saying her prayer of her dad surviving was a prayer “ that was not answered for me” ….just so sad hearing her say that with tears in her voice And Johnny Taylor at the end, so sad.

[@brittanybarnes6032]

Would LOVE to hear Johnnie sing the whole song

I saw that Rufus Thomas was also there. Pain in my heart, Otis Redding.

VERY VERY SAD 😢

[@BarbaraHenderson-bt1gs]

First time seeing this Johnny sang gospel first with the Soul_Stir, group.

[@SH__69]

Otis Redding was my fathers favourite singer. Through him I learned about the music of Otis Redding. Since then he is one of my favorite singers (together with Bob Marley). Very sad both died at a very young age 😢😢. Wonder how much great music/sungs they both would have given the world if they had lived to become old men.

It is NO MISTAKE that in this video about Otis Redding-EVEN JUST A 2:03(TWO MINUTE AND THREE SECONDS) VIDEO-the word,"WORLD," was mentioned 3(three) times. It was mentioned at, 0:40, at, 0:42, and, at, 0:54 seconds. That right there tells you ALL you need to know about Otis Redding. ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
