Music video Directed & Edited by Bob Sarles Produced by Ravin' Films VISIT: http://ravinfilms.com/ Otis Redding wrote this song while living on a houseboat in Sausalito on the San Francisco Bay. We discovered the actual spot where Otis' housboat was berthed, and shot new Super8 footage from the spot for use in this video. Thanks to Anne Garfield, Joel Selvin and Bill Belmont. Otis recorded this song shortly before his tragic death. Steve Cropper finished production on the song after Otis' plane went down. Released posthumously, it was Otis' biggest hit ever. Enjoy!

And to think this song was recorded only 3 days before his death... and to think what other amazing songs he would have sang if the tragedy of his death were averted.

this is a good song. Too bad Otis died before this song made it big. But then most of the greats make it big after they are gone

I'd love to be down near the dock or under the boardwalk sipping on a cold beer feeling the music & letting My imagination roam were it pleases...

Last year at age 54, I began voice lessons, & began guitar lessons 2 months ago. I'm going to resume a music career. I was a drummer for 40 yrs. I have to add this song to my repertoire. It has soul, emotion, blues, & really gets to me. OR sang it masterfully. I'm practicing it now. Great song - great singer. His passing so young is such a tragedy. Claude
