Otis Redding - I've Got Dreams to Remember

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoLgUNj105E

"Me and Bobby McGee" is a song written by American singer-songwriter #KrisKristofferson and originally performed by #RogerMiller. #FredFoster shares the writing credit, as Kristofferson wrote the song based on a suggestion from Foster. A posthumously released version by #JanisJoplin topped the Billboard Hot 100 in 1971, making the song the second posthumously released No. 1 single in U.S. chart history after "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" by #OtisRedding.

And even though I've listened to this song literally half my life, I didn't know until today that that "come back, come back" sample in "Otis" comes from this Otis Redding song (written by Allen Toussaint but credited under pseudonym Naomi Neville, Toussaint's mom's name), the title track of Redding's debut album.
