Title: Otis Redding – (Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay
Year/Genre: 1968, Soul
Condition: VG, some static

Cultural Facts:

1. Recorded days before Otis’s fatal plane crash; the release became an unintended final chapter while Stax scrambled around the loss.

2. The whistling ending was a placeholder—he planned to finish the take later, which is why it reads like a postcard mid-thought.

3. Marked a pivot toward broader pop crossover right as Stax’s world was shifting fast, freezing a “what was next” moment in amber.
