I used to live in Madison, Wisconsin on Miller Ave1/2 block from Lake Menona where Otis Redding died in a plane crash less than a week after he recorded what would become my personal favorite song of his. I left out the whistle at the end because it does not sound right when I do it. The whistle was supposed to be another written verse but Otis died before he could complete it so they just put it in the song as an "outro" instead. Rolling Stone ranked Otis Redding #21 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. Comments are welcomed and if you like the song please rate it. Thanks!
