Today, in Musical History, December 7th, 1967: Otis Redding records "The Dock Of The Bay" - most of it, anyway. He considered the song unfinished, and the whistling was just him placeholding until he was supposed to return from a few upcoming dates, to write and record more lyrics.
And that's the late Steve Cropper on guitar. Damn. I just realized that, except for Booker T, all of the MG's are gone now.
First new song in five years from Ms. Barnett.
(Warning: The video is not for the easily grossed-out.)
Cover Of The Day:
Huh. Steve Cropper again.

Dozens of covers of the song, but this one is by the Reverend Peyton & His Big Damn Band, from 2020, with Steve Cropper sitting in.
Today, in Musical History, December 8th, 1965: Mick Collins, Detroit underground musician and musical godfather, leader of the hardest-assed band in town, the Dirtbombs, b. Detroit, MI
