I remember when Otis Redding died, in December, 1967, when the plane he was on crashed into Lake Monona in WI. And I remember how I waited for that very last song of his to be released in January, ‘Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay.’ It took forever.

This clip is a live performance from Ready, Steady, Go! (RSG!), a British music show with dancers and groups like the U.S.’s Shindig, American Bandstand, and Hullabaloo.

Here is Otis, whose roots were in the south and gospel, really performing hard, at the end of the show, and having a great time on stage.

He is joined by Eric Burdon of the Animals and English R&B singer Chris Farlowe.

And catch the action around 1:40. Is that dancer [in the Jean Shrimpton make-up] freak dancing Otis?
