    • Trivia
      Redding was notorious for forgetting the lyrics to his own songs, and a good example of it is his performance of "Respect," in which he essentially sings the same verse ("Hey, little girl...") over and over again.
    • Quotes

      Otis Redding: We're gonna slow it down this time and sing a soulful number. This song is a song that, you know, we all ought to sing sometime. This is the love crowd, right? We all love each other, don't we? Am I right? Let me hear you say yeah then!

      Crowd: Yeah!

      Otis Redding: All right.

      [singing]

      Otis Redding: I've been - loving you - too long - to stop now, You were tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiired and you want to be free, My love is growing stronger, as you become a habit to me...

    Electrifying Concert Footage of the "Big O" at Monterey Pop Festival

    Otis Redding was one of the titanic figures in rock/soul music history...this video should be required viewing for ALL fans of music, if for no other reason but to see what we lost so long ago. Redding took what soul artists were calling "Whitey's Festival" and made it HIS showcase, despite getting the worst spot on the bill. Again, a "must see" for any music history fan.
