Otis Redding died when he was 26 years old in a airplane accident together his manager and four members of the Bar-Kays, his backup band . Despite of that, he is one of the greatest twenty century artists.
(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay was his only number one single. It was recorded three days before his death and he didn't finish it. He whistled the unwritten part. The song was released with this whistle.

I love this song, but my really special Otis's song is This Arms Of Mine. It was included in many soundtracks, but it was a minor hit. I heard it in Dirty Dancing and since that moment I understand the movies like a way to know music.
