I'm going to pony up and be the first to say, I really didn't know much about him before today.
He died at twenty-six in a plane crash after a show in Cleveland, Ohio, the plane crashed in Madison, Wisconsin. Despite his very young age, he had three children and a wife!
So - all those hits, hits upon hits that you know but don't really know well were done by a very young fellow!
His big hit "(Sitting on) The Dock of the Bay" was recorded only a few days before his fatal crash:
"Pain In My Heart"
Stones cover of "The Pain in My Heart"
Redding cover of "Satisfaction"
"You Don't Miss Your Water"
