The Dock of the Bay – The Definitive Collection is a compilation album by Otis Redding released in 1987.



Shortly after his breakthrough appearance at the Monterey Pop Festival, Otis Redding began talking of making a record that would be to soul music what Sgt. Pepper's was to rock. Sadly, "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" was the only song he recorded for this project before his untimely death, and so The Dock of the Bay wound up being a mixed bag of non-LP singles and previously unreleased material. Of course, Redding was such an amazing singer that even a ragtag collection of his stuff is worth checking out, and this album certainly has its fair share of high points, including "Tramp", a sassy duet with Carla Thomas; the funky "Don't Mess with Cupid"; and the unbelievably poignant "Ole Man Trouble".

"The Dock Of The Bay" ironically is the tune for which Otis is best known, and is untypical of his work. He had made his reputation as the No 1 Soul man with gritty Southern Soul, and had begun to appeal to Rock audiences after his appearance at Monterey. That meant that he was looking to vary his style to make it more acceptable to white audiences, hence "Sittin' on...", a much more mellow tune than he had ever before recorded. Unfortunately he never saw it's release, he died in the plane accident that killed him, his manager and all but one of his band The Markeys.
