Otis Redding & Mitch Ryder - Knock On Wood [HD video] (short)

[ChrisPutt71]

I agree with you, pfordsq.... I love Otis (second on my list only to Robert Plant) but Mitch Ryder does a hell of a job here, too.

OTIS,we will always think about you, for you are still something else. My friend you will always be on stage .May god hold you in the palm of his hand.!

[pfordsq]

It's Otis' show , but Mitch holds his own , the way Eric Burdon did with Otis on RSG.

@pfordsq No

Christ, Otis and the band only have a couple hours to live here, folks. The trumpet player Ben Cauley survived the crash and the bassist James Alexander took a commercial flight because there weren't enough seats on Otis's plane.

classic soul with rock and roll !!!

This was Otis Redding's last show before he and some band members were tragically killed in a plane crash in Wisconsin.

Wow, what might have been, eh? Great upload, thanks for sharing! Otis was da bomb, as the kids say, he just killed it in one minute and eleven seconds. The more I see, the more I mourn.

thats the very last performance of otis redding before he died. great to finally be able to watch it...

@pearsnockie I was thinking how great it must have been for Mitch to sing like that with Otis ~ until I read this. Message not the messenger mind you, that is interesting to know.

It sounds like they could have given it some work and recorded a killer album together. Great to see this, thanks SPG1!

@SixtiesPopGold1- thanks for this. AbsolutelyOUTSTANDING.

Supercool! Great to see a new period clip of Mitch doing something other than "Jenny Take a Ride" and Otis is in top form too...
