He died when I was 5 years old. I remember the song - sitting on the dock of the bay. I heard my parents talking about him dying. I was confused though because I still heard the song. At that time in a 5 year old mind I thought that ppl would stand in line at the radio station and come in and sing their song and leave🤣. I asked my father "I thought Otis Redding was dead?" My father said he IS dead. I said "well how can he still sing the song??" That's when I learned about records😂. I NEVER forgot that 🙂. I never knew how fine he was until I watched this. He was gone too soon😢.

The "Real" reason was that they looked at Talent not "Color". Also alot of these kids lives weren't anything like their US Counterparts. Blue Collar, Low Income Housing, and many of the Sailors went to America and bought back the Records which the kids loved. The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Yardbirds, were three of the Major Groups influenced by American Blues (most notably Chess). Even The Moody Blues were a "Blues" Band before they did pop. Even know alot of Boy Band/Girl Group Icons cover obscure R & B Songs.
