Otis redding did blues-themed soul/R&B music in early-mid 1960s, like "these arms of mine", "pain in my heart", and "i've been loving you too long."
So i added genre "blues" in this page. LSM1204 ( talk) 15:35, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
This article: https://getpocket.com/explore/item/inside-otis-redding-s-final-masterpiece-sittin-on-the-dock-of-the-bay?utm_source=pocket-newtab claims that Steve Cropper was not present when Redding wrote the song, and refers directly to this article as mistaken. I don't know who's right. Is there an expert or does someone have access to material that can solve this? HornColumbia talk 04:20, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
"Johnny Jenkins and Isaac Hayes did not attend, fearing their reaction would be worse than Zelma Redding's" This is near meaningless without information about Zelma's reaction. Barefoot through the chollas ( talk) 22:23, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
I just noticed the article leads off with this line - "He is a great singer in the history of American popular music."
Does that sound like encyclopedic style? Shouldn't this read something like "He is widely considered one of the greatest singers in the history etc etc", with sources? It doesn't even have any citations. Otis Redding deserves better :/
