It is so sad and unfortunate they didn’t live to see the success of “Sittin On the Dock of the Bay”. Continue to RIP Otis Redding and the Bar-Kays 🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾

[@bellejour559]

LOVE OTIS! I met a man who worked at STAX and met him along with many others. Otis voice was out of this world. The world lost a great man when he passed at such a young age.

[@MissTuskegeeAlabama]

The fact that he was set to open for a group called “The Grim Reapers” is crazy🤔….Yes I’m that person who brings this stuff up in the comments 🤭

RIP Otis Redding one of the best singers in 1967!! Greatest!!❤❤❤😢😢😢

[@Sophisticated_Lady444]

Otis was way ahead of his time he was talented, an old soul, and had an amazing voice. Had he not died young he would’ve reached new heights. It was a sad day when he passed and the world truly lost a great one. He was one of my favorite singers RIP Otis Redding. 🙏🏽✝️❤️

Otis Redding was another solid brother they couldn't control or run over. He was killed because he wouldn't bow down or kiss ass. (He always remind me of Bernard King) R.I.P KING

[@YAH-1]

There's only one KING 👑 and that's the Creator of Heaven and Earth.. Stop idolizing 🙄

[@saramatthews7159]

oh my goodness...black people are kind of goofy when it comes to dealing with reality. You do realize that not everything is a conspiracy right? There have been many non-black people to die in small engine plane crashes...especially during that era.

[@abeck7929]

I saw his documentary and was very impressed with his life. He made smart investments and had a wonderful relationship with his wife and children.

[@user-el6ds6il8m]

He was killed because he ignored people telling him that the plane was a piece of shit . Has nothing to do with racism at all

Otis's death, along with most of the BarKays, was a major loss to Stax at that point. But they did recover with Isaac Hayes, Johnnie Taylor, the Staple Singers, and the BarKays. Rest In Beats, Otis and the Original Barkays and thank you, James Alexander and Ben Cauley, for keeping his legacy and your group's legacy alive.

This man is a legend. he is a southern soul singer from the south. he put Stax Records on the map. because he's always sitting on the docks of the bay. he should have listened to James Brown not to fly on the airplane on that day. fun fact, De La Soul sample a whistle from that song.

[@DJReyzor357]

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 🕯 ⚱️ ⚰️ 🪦

​@@theinsightfulvisionary0197 I agree 👍🏾

[@vividlistener1973]

Here is another fact to add to the mystery of Otis plane crash. Research the plane crash of Patsy Cline, the same airplane was flown in the winter. Patsy was cold before take off and told an eyewitness on the ground that she was cold and told the pilot could he turn on the heater, but once again was told no, because the battery was low. This is what an eye witness said Patsy Cline indicated at a fuel stop before take off. There is another Beechcraft plane crash like Otis Plane, with a low battery indicator, and the heater not allowed to be turned on because of it. I can't remember the person involved, but when I do I will post it.
