Trivia
Redding was notorious for forgetting the lyrics to his own songs, and a good example of it is his performance of "Respect," in which he essentially sings the same verse ("Hey, little girl...") over and over again.

Quotes
Otis Redding: We're gonna slow it down this time and sing a soulful number. This song is a song that, you know, we all ought to sing sometime. This is the love crowd, right? We all love each other, don't we? Am I right? Let me hear you say yeah then!
Crowd: Yeah!
Otis Redding: All right.
[singing]
Otis Redding: I've been - loving you - too long - to stop now, You were tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiired and you want to be free, My love is growing stronger, as you become a habit to me...

Man, this guy was amazing!

I saw this on TCM and it certainly is an unforgettable experience. It really stays with you-thinking about the influence this great musician had. It only lasts 20 minutes, but I gotta say that what I did see I cannot and will not forget.

This is a beautiful document of a beautiful moment in music history.
