Otis Redding was killed in a plane crash in Wisconsin on this day in 1967.
I remember this event quite well. We had heard on the radio that Otis Redding would play in Madison. His sudden death was quite a shock for many of us.
Otis Redding recorded "Dock of the Bay" a few days before his death. It became a #1 song the following spring.
What a talented performer! You can get his music HERE.
