Ben Cauley, The Only Man Who Survived Otis Redding's Plane Crash, Told This Story

Otis Redding walked into Stax Studios on December 7, 1967, and told guitarist Steve Cropper he had a song that would change everything. They recorded it that night. When Otis forgot the ending, he just whistled. That whistle became one of the most iconic moments in recorded music. Three days later, his plane crashed into a frozen Wisconsin lake and he never heard the finished version. Sittin' On The Dock of the Bay became the first posthumous number one hit in Billboard history, selling over four million copies worldwide. But behind that song is a story most people have never heard. The story of a boy who dropped out of school at fifteen to dig wells and feed his family. The story of a talent show where he won fifteen weeks in a row until they banned him from competing. The story of a performance at Monterey that silenced fifty thousand people. And the story of Ben Cauley, the twenty-year-old trumpet player who survived the crash that killed everyone else, and spent the next forty-eight years carrying the weight of that day while never stopping the music. This is the untold story of Otis Redding, the plane crash, and the man who lived to tell it
