Community biography from 
One of the most evocative soul singers of the 60s, Otis Redding is most fondly remembered for “(Sittin’ On) The Dock Of The Bay”, a song he recorded just three days before his death in a plane crash at the age of 26. His swan song went on to become his most successful single, topping the charts and selling over a million copies. Previously, he had built a devoted fanbase thanks to a thrilling live show, and gorgeous ballads such as “My Girl”, “I’ve Been Loving You Too Long” and “Try A Little Tenderness”, which Redding developed into a frenzy at the end. More upbeat songs such as “Respect” (later more famously covered by Aretha Franklin) and the Rolling Stones’ “Satisfaction” were also fan favourites and chart hits that remain popular today. Redding’s legacy from his short life is such that he is held in similar esteem to Sam Cooke: another 60s soul singer who died prematurely, whose songs Redding frequently covered in tribute.
