The song Sitting on the Dock of the Bay by Redding was right. When (Sittin’ on) the Dock of the Bay was released less than two months later, it became the singer’s first million-seller and first Billboard Number One single. But the legendary soul singer never got to hear the finished version of his breakthrough single: He had died in a plane crash on December 10th, 1967, almost a month before the song was released, (January 8, 1968).

(Sittin' On) The Dock of The Bay
So I’m just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I’m sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Wastin’ time
Look 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, yes
