Otis Redding wrote this song while living on a houseboat in Sausalito on the San Francisco Bay. We discovered the actual spot where Otis' housboat was berthed, and shot new Super8 footage from the spot for use in this video. Thanks to Anne Garfield, Joel Selvin and Bill Belmont. Otis recorded this song shortly before his tragic death. Steve Cropper finished production on the song after Otis' plane went down. Released posthumously, it was Otis' biggest hit ever. Enjoy!

On this date in 1968 {Jan. 27th} "(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay" entered Billboard's Top 100 chart; on March 16th it would peaked at No. 1 {for 4 weeks} and spent a total of 16 weeks in the Top 100!!!

@jcota89 He didn't ruin the song when that joke is gone and forgotten people will still be listening to this song.

How can you dislike this? Sounds like 99 problems.
-
99 people would rather watch sitting on the toilet
-
How many people know why Otis is whistling at the end of the song? Its because he only had 2 takes, and he forgot the lyrics at the end. STILL one of the greatest songs EVER. Just a fact that I personally found interesting. Recorded 3 days before he died, on Dec 7, 1967, he, of course died on DEC 10. RIP Mr. Redding, and Thank you!

Louis CK ruined this for me.

This song reminds me of my Grandpa so badly. He passed away 4 years ago and I still can't get used to the fact that I'll never get a chance to talk to him again. He was the only person who truly understood me. But, the memory of us, sitting by the river, throwing rocks in the water will always be something I'll remember when I think about my childhood.
You truly were and angel, grandpa, rest in peace!
