For me, the day Otis died was the day the music died. One of the greatest of all time without a doubt
Great clips, roger that about Otis. His was a GREAT clip. Classic performance, song . . .

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
In Junior High School, played my older brother’s “45 rpm records” of (Sittin’ on the) Dock of the Bay and Try A Little Tenderness until the groves were worn. (My brother turned 65 in May, so this will tell “younguns” how old this tune is.)
Otis was one of the best! Enjoyed the stroll down Memory Lane.
