The Dock of the Bay — 1968
Otis Redding
Released 1968Soul & R&B
Classic
A posthumous peak built around its timeless title song. Soulful and beloved. A high point. A 1968 record that holds its own against everything before it.
On vinyl: The original pressing is a collector's piece; a modern remaster is the sensible route.
