Redding died, along with several members of the Bar-Kay’s, when their plane crashed after a show. He was only twenty-six, and his song “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay” became the first posthumously released single to reach number one.
Cat Stevens wrote and sang such beautiful music. I guess it was for at least twenty or thirty years that he disavowed his own music due to his religious beliefs, but it’s great that he is back performing again. Sometimes life does come full circle. Somewhere there is a duet where Chris Cornell sings one of Cats’ songs with him. I will have to dig it up.
I’m constantly days behind you all but I’m resolved to get match fit in the new year & learn how to avoid the musical rabbit holes & actually get around to responding to more of these deep cuts you all keep dropping about the place like there’s nothing to it…
…so by way of catching up a little – y’all frequently bring this tune to mind for me…
Who better to capture the holiday spirit than Bootsy & Snoop?
Love it!!
The amazing passion of Otis Redding.

My favorite Otis Redding song – That’s How Strong My Love Is
And a little more peace:
Oh, I’ve been smiling lately
Dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be
Someday it’s going to come
Great choice!

Just a light interlude:
NoMBe, Bad Girls
Bad girls have the most fun.
Elvis Costello – (What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding
If you haven’t heard Emily Armstrong yet, slap yourself and go buy a Dead Sara record as penance. This song will make you cry if you let it:
Great pick
Bill Evans – Peace Piece

Glad to have you join the party. There is no way to avoid the rabbit holes. I have been lost on many.
