"(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" became Otis Redding's first and only #1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 after its release in 1968. Recorded just three days before Redding was killed in a plane crash, the song's famous whistling ending was originally intended as a placeholder but was kept in the final mix. To celebrate the song's enduring legacy, the Playing For Change project brought together musicians from around the world, including Jack Johnson and Otis Redding III, the singer's son, for a collaborative performance that introduced the timeless classic to a new generation.

"Hard to Handle", co-written by Otis Redding in 1967, and this band's cover dropped in 1990. If I see brass in a video, it gets my vote on sharing. Can you name the band? Do you remember this cover, or the original?

We tried to cut through Otis Air Force base and throw away my SIM card like Brian Higgins testified that he did the day before receiving a preservation order. Turns out there are some gaping holes in this story.
