I didn't either! He had such a maturity about him. Brilliant talent.

#OtisRedding absolutely had the voice of an old soul. One of my favorite singers of all time.

“I’ve been loving you for too long” is my favorite Otis Redding song. It is perfection.
-
Would you believe I'm sitting here looking at a 45 Volt record of that song. The flip side is "I'm Depending On You". Yeah, I'm old.
-
Wow! I’m jealous because I trashed all my old records like a dummy.
-
Because of this thread when I picked up the Otis 45 I found I had a larger stack of 45's - Jackson 5, Del Fonics, Tower of Power, Aretha, Harry Belafonte (Calypso & Folk EP's).

Only 26. We can not even imagine the musical treasures he would have heaped upon us had he lived.

Dock of the Bay! The morning that his death was announced on the radio that song was played to honor him..RIP Otis Redding!
-
Was it? I always thought it was released posthumously. (Genuine query)
-
I was in my bathroom getting ready for work in the morning when the announcement of the death came on the radio followed by the playing of the song. I hadn't heard it before so I suppose yes it was released posthumously where he had expired at that juncture.
-
According to Wikipedia (which may be wrong) it was released in January 1968 - over a month after he died.
-
nope...it was played on the radio the morning after it was reported he died. sorry!
