[00:00:01] A Tribute To A King - William Bell

[00:00:02] Written by：William Bell/Booker T. Jones

[00:00:14] Listen people listen

[00:00:17] I'm gonna sing you a song

[00:00:20] About a man who lived good

[00:00:23] But didn't live too long

[00:00:27] He was born in Macon Georgia

[00:00:30] A poor boy without a dime

[00:00:34] He found his way to Memphis

[00:00:37] Singing these arms of mine

[00:00:41] Otis Otis Redding was his name

[00:00:47] Without his soulful singing

[00:00:50] This old world won't be the same

[00:00:54] Now he traveled on to Frisco

[00:00:57] New York and abroad

[00:01:01] Everywhere he sang

[00:01:04] The people would applaud

[00:01:07] One day he left Georgia

[00:01:11] Wisconsin bound

[00:01:14] But he didn't get to sing that night

[00:01:17] The plane he was in went down

[00:01:21] Otis Otis Redding was his name

[00:01:28] Without his soulful singing

[00:01:31] This old world won't be the same

[00:01:34] He was a soul music singer

[00:01:38] The king of the Memphis sound

[00:01:41] It makes me feel so sad

[00:01:44] Cause now he ain't around

[00:01:48] He died with his guitar

[00:01:51] Close to his hands

[00:01:54] But his soul lives on today

[00:01:58] In the heart of a million fans

[00:02:00] Taking about

[00:02:01] Otis Otis Redding was his name

[00:02:08] Without his soulful singing

[00:02:11] This old world won't be the same

[00:02:15] Otis Otis Redding was his name

[00:02:21] His picture oughta be hung

[00:02:24] In the music hall of fame

[00:02:28] Otis he was known as Big O

[00:02:35] Otis we gonna miss him so

[00:02:42] Otis ooh yeah

[00:02:45] We gonna miss him so

[00:02:48] Otis
