Otis Redding scores, chords - difficulty level Beginner

Otis Redding was an American soul singer and songwriter from the USA. A key voice of the 1960s, he became widely known for his emotional delivery and his work on “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay,” which began as an idea in Sausalito, California.

His style blends soul, R&B, and Southern soul. This music is a good choice for beginners, especially for those who want to learn expressive phrasing and classic rhythm-and-blues feeling.

His biggest achievement was “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay,” the first posthumous No. 1 single in the US. It was recorded just days before his death in a plane crash in 1967, then released in January 1968. The song won two Grammy awards and became his signature hit.
