Product Details
Recorded just days before his death in a December 1967 plane crash, "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" became the first posthumous single to hit number one on the Billboard charts. Redding had been refining his sound toward something more reflective and melodic, and what this collection captures is an artist in genuine transition, one whose influence runs through virtually every soul, R&B, and rock vocalist who followed.
It still pains the heart that this LP was a posthumous one, it's singer dead at 26. This is essential soul: The immortal title smash; Tramp (his hit with Carla Thomas); the stunning I Love You More Than Words Can Say; Let Me Come on Home, and more.
