"(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" is a song co-written by the #soul singer #OtisRedding and the guitarist #SteveCropper. Redding recorded it twice in 1967, including just three days before his death in a plane crash on December 10, 1967. It was released on #StaxRecords' Volt label in 1968, becoming the first posthumous number 1 single in the US. It reached number 3 on the #UKSinglesChart.

My pick for this week's #SaturdayOnStage is a rare 1966 live performance by one of the all-time deep soul greats:

James Carr: Love Attack (1966)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGejHf47T3w

This clip was taped in Dallas for the final episode of "The !!!! Beat" TV show, but for some reason it was not broadcast at the time. Otis Redding was the host of this episode, and the back up musicians on this video are actually his road band.

"Love Attack" was the first hit of James Carr's career, released on the Memphis-based Goldwax label.

"(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" is a song co-written by the #soul singer #OtisRedding and the guitarist #SteveCropper. Redding recorded it twice in 1967, including just three days before his death in a plane crash on December 10, 1967. It was released on #StaxRecords' Volt label in 1968, becoming the first posthumous #1 single in the US. It reached #3 on the #UKSinglesChart.

Going through 1960s music journals at worldradiohistory.com, I came across this review by Penny Valentine, published in Disc & Music Echo (January 28, 1967).

I've had the 45 for quite a few years, and still play it every now and then:

Mattie Moultrie: That's How Strong My Love Is (1966)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aKUx8w-7Ng

One of the very first recordings done for Richard Gottehrer's and Seymour Stein's Sire Productions, this impressive version of a soul classic was issued on the Columbia label, but didn't sell too many copies at the time.

While I do disagree with Valentine's judgement on the quality of Otis Redding's recorded output, I'm still partial to O.V.Wright's original version, which was his first secular recording (on Goldwax), and made it to #109 on Billboard's Bubbling Under chart in the fall of 1964.

Other memorable female versions were later recorded by Candi Staton and Laura Lee - both are excellent. But Mattie Moultrie's over-the-top reading is still something special.

"I've Been Loving You Too Long" (originally "#IveBeenLovingYou Too Long (To Stop Now)") is a #soulMusic ballad written by #OtisRedding and #JerryButler. Considered by music critics and writers to be one of Redding's finest performances and a soul classic, it is a slow, emotional piece with Redding's pleading vocals backed by producer #SteveCropper's arpeggiated guitar parts and a horn section. Redding recorded the song in 1965.

A classic rock and roll anthem from Little Richard that brought some music giants together on stage, exactly 40 years ago today.

“Lucille, baby, satisfy my heart
I played for it, baby and gave you such a wonderful start”

Otis Redding, The Dock Of The Bay, 1968 on Volt.

This was the first posthumous release after Redding died in 1967, and his seventh studio album. It collected some singles, b-sides, and previously released tracks, including the title track “(Sittin’ On) The Doc of the Bay” which was cowritten by Steve Cropper and Redding. Also has a great version of “Nobody Knows You (When You’re Down And Out.”

The band here includes Booker T. Jones, Isaac Hayes, Steve Cropper, Donald “Duck” Dunn, and Al Jackson Jr. Carla Thomas joins on “Tramp.”

My copy is a 1968 pressing via Electric Fetus in Minneapolis MN – it’s in great shape.
