  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn May 19th 1963, "These Arms of Mine" by Otis Redding entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #91; the following week it was at #85 and that was its peak position of the chart, then on its third and final week on the Top 100 it was at #98...
    It reached #20 on Billboard's R&B Singles chart; it was his debut record on both charts...
    Between 1962 and 1969 he had thirty-one* records make the R&B Singles chart; thirteen made the Top 10 with one reaching #1, "(Sittin' on) The Dock of the Bay"...
    He just missed having three #1 records when "I've Been Loving You Too Long" {1965} and "Tramp" {1967} both peaked at #2 on the R&B Singles chart...
    'The King of Soul' passed away on December 10th, 1967 at the young age of 26...
    May he R.I.P.
    * Ten of his thirty-one records charted on the R&B Singles chart after his untimely death.
