‘(Sittin’ On) The Dock Of The Bay’ — Otis Redding
Without a question, this is Otis Redding’s most well-known song. While sitting on the bay’s dock, he created the song’s lyrics! After the Monterey Pop Festival in Sausalito, California, he was on a leased houseboat. A few months later, he penned and recorded the song with guitarist Steve Cropper. He was killed in a plane crash only a few days later. In Wisconsin, his automobile collided with Lake Monona. It was the first posthumous hit in the United States.

‘Let It Be’ — The Beatles
It is believed that tumultuous times frequently lead to incredible invention. Paul McCartney demonstrated this with this song. The Beatles were in disarray, but John found solace in a dream in which his mother, who had passed away, offered him advice. “When I find myself in times of trouble / Mother Mary comes to me,” the song’s first line says. This song was the lead single from the band’s final studio album. In more ways than one, it was a classic. “Let it Be,” the Beatles’ final single, was released in March 1970, just before their disbandment was announced.
