Well Folks!
I’m 77 tomorrow! Leave for Japan today, so I’ll be out of touch a few days...
Just had to thank all of you who’ve supported me all these many, many, many years! (HA)
I’ve learned how fast this life...
50 years ago today,
@OtisRedding
's "(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay" was released into the world! The song has gone 3x platinum. So proud to have co-wrote this one!

"If you took a little of Sam Cooke and a little of Little Richard, and poured it in a jar and shook it up and poured it out you would get Otis Redding." - Steve Cropper
Folks!
I’m still in a bit of shock after discovering I’d been selected to receive BMI’s prestigious “Icon Award” this year! My partner, Geddes is with Keith Urban Who was last year’s recipient, &...
I couldn’t of been more overwhelmed by the entire evening at BMI, but when John Legend sang “Dock”, I know Otis was beaming as much as I was!
So humbled & honored by all the congratulatory videos...
Just want to thank Conan O'Brien Presents: Team Coco again for having me! 50 years is quite the landmark and you fans make these moments special. Thank you
Friends!
Hope you’re all Having A Happy & SAFE 4th Of July Holiday Weekend!
Wherever your travels may lead, here’s hoping you’re brought safely back to your home!
God Bless!
Crop!
Folks!
What an incredible memory, & just a fantastic time! Don’t get much better than having “that recognizable voice anywhere “ sing one of Otis Redding &!My tunes! Thanks Mike!
And thanks for the heartfelt congratulatory video!...
The Tales of Otis continue! Dock of The Bay could have went many directions but I'm glad to have found something that still resonates to this day!
