He died at 26 but influenced my entire life. I used to play his CD driving across the U.S. for family reunions, singing with him all the way.

"Sitting on the Dock of the Bay" was my youngest brother's favorite song too. He played it constantly. Maybe it was because, he knew he would die young. He ever lives in my heart and memories.

I've been loving you too long, was my favorite. He was an awesome singer.

We all loved him but God-loved him a little more that's all❤

“Sitting on the Dock” it’s not only a beautiful song because of how he sang it because we can all relate to it.😊

I once awoke from a colonoscopy procedure, to Otis Redding playing. I said i love Otis Redding... The team replied "we know" you talked about him under anesthesia. So the doctor had us put him on for you.

One of the most talented singers I have ever heard. Unique voice, good. To me, he had it all. A missed talent for sure.

Coffee and Cigarettes at midnight while smoking a joint and sipping coffee with my crush. Best night ever. Best Otis song ever

If you guys are ever on your way to work, make sure you play him in your car. You'll be in the best mood ever.

Everything he sang was my favourite especially loved Chained to your love....miss him dearly

[paulwestmoreland]

Very sad that so many musicians have been lost to plane crashes

[BCMoney]

So crazy that people like him died so young but accomplished so much.
I’m 28 and it’s so wild when I think of people like this, Kurt Cobain
Tupac
Biggie
Hendrix
All died younger than I currently am.

One of my dads favourite songs was Sitting on the dock of the bay.. I was never too keen on that to be honest but his rendition of Since I've been loving you is one of the my favourite songs of all time

[gretataplin]

ONE OF MY FAVORITES, PAIN IN MY HEART

[marshallmom]

I love that song, also. It has a very bluesy easy song.. ANYbody can sing that song if you try... its always good to sing in the rain...

[lolarose]

You can hear it in your voice that you were a true fan

[garychambers]

Otis said; "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay" was his Beatles record.🤗☮

[kay_mac]

Everyone knows his hits, but look up. "I love you more than words can say." Album version or live. Then "Love Man". If you don't just love that one. You're hopeless.

The 60’s and 70’s. So many musicians killed in plane crashes.
