The Heartbreaking End of Otis Redding

[@lindadeal3344]

As a 13 year old I fell in love with his songs and was so unhappy when I heard he died. He was the best and introduced me to music of the mid 60's.

I had no idea he was so young! What a terrible shame. Rest in peace, Mr. Redding.

[@NancyOrtiz-c1p]

One of my all-time favorite artists. We are so blessed to have his recordings and live performances. Thank you for sharing! Rest peacefully, Otis. You definitely changed the world. ❤

I was only 10 when he died. I remember crying my eyes out the first time I heard dock of the bay. He was definitely on his way to the top. Such a tragedy to his family and the world. He was so talented.

[@AlanReeser]

It’s so unfortunate this happened.. he had a very promising career ahead of him..

It really is. RIP Otis.

Otis wrote some of the best relatable lyrics of any artist of his time. I don't even have to look them up, I listened to this song so many times. _Looks like nothing's gonna change_ _Everything still remains the same_ _I can't do what ten people tell me to do_ _So I guess I'll remain the same_ RIP, Otis. ♥

The Bee Gees wrote To Love Somebody for Mr. Redding. Sadly, he never got the chance to record it. Rest in peace 🌹☮

I remember when was a young girl and I would hear the song Tramp , a duet with Carla Thomas the daughter of Rufus " Funky Chicken " Thomas. I'd jump up and dance when I heard it. These Arms of Mine was featured in the movie Dirty Dancing.😃😃😃😃😃😃

[@JohnLark2024]

Wow. I never knew he was only 26 years old. I always thought he was an older guy who'd been through life when he was singing dock of the bay.

[@kelleyjohnson7694]

Me too

[@lindanorris2455]

he was just a baby!

[@philipB31]

Thank you for making this video.

[@melissakrauss9180]

This was bittersweet.

[@jericox2980]

He was so talented. Sad.

[@Izzy-w2t]

Great video ❤

[@SamBroadway]

Sitting on the dock of the Bay is in my top 100 of life

[@cookshackcuisinista]

Great narration!

[@GwendolynPorter-w6c]

James Brown himself had warned Otis about the plane. At that time James Brown had his own private plane. Otis did not listen. I was about 8 years old when I heard the news. I was very sad. His family still lives in Macon Georgia on private property. He is buried on the property.

1900’s !!!!!! AHH HECK NO YOU DIDNT! SMH 😂😂😂😂 ok we know you’re Gen-z

[@ScrappyDoodad]

Planes and drugs don't like music artists

[@GwendolynPorter-w6c]

Seems that way doesn't.
