Description:
Released posthumously on Stax Records, (Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay captures Otis Redding at a reflective, introspective peak. The track’s gentle, whistled melody, sparse acoustic guitar, and restrained rhythm section contrast with Redding’s powerful vocal delivery, creating an intimate, almost cinematic atmosphere. Co-written with guitarist Steve Cropper, the song marked a departure from his high-energy soul hits, showcasing a more contemplative, storytelling side.

Sampling / Influence:
The song has influenced countless pop and soul musicians and was sampled by De La Soul on Eye Know from the 1989 sample heavy 3 Feet High and Rising album
