Makes me cry watching this knowing he was taken from the world less than a day later😪This great beautiful man (along with sam Cooke) is one of the most emotive passionate raw singers to ever grace this planet...I feel deeply sad his life was cut so short but man oh man what a legacy he left we can only imagine how much more he had to give but I feel so privileged to truly understand what it means to sing with "soul" thanks to Otis and Sam..your music will live on forever thank you for the music ❤️❤️❤️❤️
A lot of great musicians from that era went out that way, members of Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Jim Croce come to mind when I think about it 💔 It really is heartbreaking cause so many musicians and singers from back then seemed so authentic, like real people who just happen to be famous, and their music had more soul to it.
@@bobloblawlablabla Definitely I always say I was born far too late I wish I had been around in the 60s 70s today as far as I'm concerned there is no such thing as real music..there will never be another Otis or Elvis etc really sad actually
@@lucindamiao722 I always used to say the same thing too haha 😂 I've preferred music from late 60's, early 70's, to way back into classical. There are only a few modern bands or songs that give me the same feelings as the old school. I don't think we'll get another era like the 60's/70's, where so many talented musicians influenced so many genres of music, but count your blessings that you have the ear to listen to and appreciate music like this 😌
@@bobloblawlablabla True I'm thankful I have taste lol but id give anything to be born in the 50s or 60s to be right in the centre of all the greats..a little not very interesting titbit I went to the same infant school as Ringo Starr (st Silas in toxteth Liverpool)and same comprehensive as John Lennon(calderstones formerly known as quarry bank)... Yes you guessed right that's where they got the inspiration for their original band name the quarry men:) just few decades too late damn it🤣🤣🤣
I got to see him in Birmingham Alabama in the summer of 1967. He played at the Municipal Auditorium and that concert changed my life. I still get emotional when I hear his songs.
I miss him every time I hear him sing. Everybody's got their favorite singer of all time. Every time I weigh that question, the answer is Otis Redding, the greatest ever, period. Amen. See you in Heaven, Otis.
I feel you...I look at how they MOVE me...STIR my soul...from lil Richard to Paul mcartney/john lennon to Percy...to Wilson p to Sam c to George Jones...to modern day singers like MJ/Prince/R Kelly(pre prison)...to infinity n beyond and I come back to otis
I’m very curious of the honorable mentions. I love Otis, but I love Marvin Gaye and Sam Cooke as far as singers, but Otis has got vibes that are just infectious.
No other version of this song will do!!! Not on the radio or anything. What i wouldn’t give as a 34 year old woman to go back in time and have front row seats to witness this unforgettable performance
The Immortal Soul Man Otis Redding! No mater how hard others try to imitate The Big O it can't be done ! The Man was a genius! His showmanship skills, musical talent and especially his voice full of soul will never be matched! RIP Big O!
The bassist on the left took a different flight that night and had to ID his friends. Guy on the trumpet 🎺 was the only survivor of the crash that took this amazing group of talent from us. RIP.
The bassist is James Alexander he is Hip Hop and R&B producer Jazze Pha's father. Jazze Pha (Phalon Alexander) was named after Phalon Jones the Bar-Kays saxophonist in this video who died along with Otis who was James Alexander's good friend. ✌🏽
This poignant performance sends thrills and every other emotion through your soul. How much wonderment and brilliance has the world lost from performers like Otis who left us far too soon 😢
Oh my God I can’t believe this was the last appeared of this great young king may he singing in heaven with the angels he sounds he good live he always give his all so much soul love no one can sing his songs not like the Big O ❤❤❤
Absolutamente fabuloso ! Me encanta desde niña , mi padre amaba la música y escuchaba todo tipo de música , le encantaba el “ Soul “ y tenía a todos los grandes de la época pero mi favorito desde tan pequeña fue “ OTIS REDDING “ ES EL REY DEL SOUL !!!!!!!! Sin ninguna duda …….. 🎼❤️
@@AlTilleyTheBum-pt4mxhe (allegedly) stole a PA system. He asked me where I was from, after hearing my accent, and I told him I was from The Memphis area. We got to make one call a night. He’d call (one) “wife”. Then guys who didn’t have any body to call would call another one of his “wives”’for him, and he’d be on the phone a long time calling different “wives. “ I was in there 2 weeks. It was the old jail on Pearl St. .It was like a dungeon. We didn’t see daylight unless we went to court. 🙀🙀 Anyway, he was a great guy! 😎😎😎
One of a kind, a voice for the ages which we haven't heard since his untimely passing. Raw, spontaneous, amazing energy, unbridled emotion & the true meaning of soul. You cannot confuse that voice w/any other artist in 55 years, must be the real deal.
God, he was the absolute best. Tragic what happened to him and his bandmates. Incredible performer. What a voice! I read that Rod Stewart had said seeing Otis Redding perform live brought tears to his eyes. He was that great.
Some people God holds his hands on a little bit longer…what an absolutely unbelievable voice and talent. Thank the Lord we have his music. Gone far to soon
Ain't no God...what the violent, tragic and sad death of him and members of the Barkays were a part of your God's plan? Same for starving and sexually assaulted children in this world.
i used to listen to his music when i was like 8 years old and i've realized how graceful and authentic he was with his love songs and music in general. amazed by him!
From what I knew about the plane crash, Ben Cauley the drummer in the band, was the only survivor of the plane crash that killed Otis Redding. He was interviewed on the TV show Inside Edition and talked about the crash many years ago. After the plane crashed Ben said he heard some band members screaming for help while they were in the water He was rescued while the other band members drowned. The body of Otis Redding was recovered a few days later.
James Brown warned him because of the bad weather, but Otis was too loyal to his fans in Wisconsin. That loyalty sadly resulted in his tragic death in a plane crash. James told him "That plane is not big enough to be doing what you’re doing. It can’t carry all those people and all that equipment. You shouldn’t be messing around with it like that." Otis said "Aw, it’s all right Bossman. We’ve had a few problems, but it’s doing okay." James later went on to say in his memoirs that "Somebody was fooling Otis… That plane was an old plane, with a bad battery and a lot of service problems, and it had no business flying in that kind of weather."
This was actually his penultimate performance. They filmed this television segment in the early afternoon and then did a gig later that night. The plane accident was the next day. Rick Nielson, the guitarist from Cheap Trick, was in a band at the time (coincidentally named The Grim Reapers) that was slated to open up for Otis the night of the accident.
This isn't my phone but i have to comment. I'm a 53 year old white guy but my mom was ahead of her time with being cool. I remember Otis, Aretha, Al and Etta coming out of those old RCA speakers and filling our house with good times, heart breaks and special things i can never get back like my mom
I can't believe this is his last performance footage. Look at the dude in your screen. Does he look like someone who's ready to die? He was dead about 40yrs before I was even born but I'm so grateful for this time where we have TH-cam and we can come back to this page and see this absolute legend singing about my life
Just hours after this performance, Otis, Jimmie King (guitar), Ronnie Caldwell (organ), Phalon Jones (saxophone), and Carl Cunningham (drums) would all be dead. The bass player was the only one not on that plane. The trumpet player was the only survivor of the crash.

Woke up in the morning and i open my youtube and randomly got into this video. God, what a blessing 🙏🏾
Me too. He made me tear up. What a voice. RIP brother.
take a second to remember he was only 2 months removed from his 27th birthday during this performance.
... One of the Great Great performers of all time
... RIP Otis ...
Otis! Otis!! Otis!!!❤😂
Yes Sir! Who is feeling this song in 2024? ME!
This is arguably one of the best live performances ever
had tickets to see him the next day. still mourning
That’s crazy man damm ! You had tickets ?
@@rvandoom A DAMN LIE!!
@@user-if1uu9pg6zeasy to call somebody a liar when you have no proof
Gosh I'm sorry to hear that. He should've followed James Brown's advice and paused the flight to the concert you would've been to.
One of the greatest singers ever. RIP
The greatest all of time!
The greatest soul singer easily.
Top 5 for me easy. Maybe even 3.

He's an amazing talent with a incredible voice. He does look older than 26 though rest in peace Otis.
Otis redding Forever in my Heart ❤❤❤ very very king of soul 💪💪👌🌷
❤❤❤
Hate that I was born in 1995. 90% of the artists I’d pay to see in concert have passed away.
I feel the same way and I'm a 2001 kid. I was lucky enough to see Eric Clapton live last year at least.
His voice is amazing
I love that soul rasp to his voice. Nobody could engr sing that song any better.
Absolutely
It is scary!
I remembered❤ I'm 75 and always keep this music in my heart. Great singers!
The best singer ever!♥
You're forgetting Elvis Presley as well.
2024 and my wife and me still enjoy this music ❤❤❤❤
Rest in peace king 😢

I am still in love with this man to this very day!!!!
I was born 20 years too late unfortunatly :( What a performer he was, RIP Otis, my dude.
I can't believe he was only 26. He had the voice maturity of a 40 year old.
Happy Birthday to the "King of Soul".
One of the great all time performances. Rest in peace everyone. I'm sure your in Soul Heaven.
I believe only the guitarist survived the crash and he still performs till this day! RIP to the rest tho

My fav song and I’m 28 ,not that it matters
Rest In Paradise Otis Redding 😢
I was in the Boulder County (Colorado) jail with Otis’s cousin, Lester Redding, in 1972. He was a good guy.
Why was he in jail? What happened?
Really? What did he do to land himself in jail? Glad to hear was a good guy at least.

God this has one of the best buildups for a song I've ever heard ♥️
THE REASON WHY I SING … PERIOD 🗣 THANK YOU OTIS
Maybe the biggest What if? from that era, I've read he wrote songs for numerous groups.
When music was real to the bone. What a beautiful voice. ❤
Crazy the whole people in this performance perished a day later.except one
Yes, but bassist James Alexander was on a different plane at the time of the crash. He's still alive today.
Bucket of tears-n-feelz. The Gospel, According to Otis!
Otis hadn't scratched the surface yet
he just turned 27 this performance was 2 months after his birthday...
@@jasonu3741 Actually, he was 26 at the time. Just one year shy of being a 27 club member.
Sam Cooke passed in Dec 64, then Otis in Dec. 67.
Omg ❤️ I was searching for this version which was taken off of TH-cam for whatever reason so I gave up but it’s back…. Thank you!!
Greatest live performance of all time. No question.
