A good friend of mine who I sadly buried last fall attended the Monterrey Pop Festival in '67. He (and pretty much everyone else) was blown away by Redding's performance. I only wish I could have seen that show, I was only 16 at the time.

The sad thing is that Otis didn't see just how popular his classic (Sittin' On) "The Dock Of The Bay" would become as he was killed in that plane crash only maybe four days after that song was released. Sad.
