Thank you, my friend SGT (Join to see) for sharing the official music video of Otis Redding performing the wonderful song "(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay" that he co-wrote with Steve Cropper.
I have have appreciated immensely listening this song since I first heard in the late 1960's.
Otis Redding died in an airplane crash on December 10, 1967 at age 26.
Rest in peace Otis Redding

"(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay" written by Otis Redding and Steve Cropper
Lyrics
"Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch them roll away again, yeah

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
Cuz I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothing's gonna come my way

So, I'm just gon' sit on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Looks like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, listen

Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone, listen
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home, now

I'm just gon' sit at the dock of a bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

[Ends in harmonic whistling]"
