OK, many may disagree with me on this one. This is Michael Bolton's cover of "Dock Of The Bay". I have never understood why so many people make fun of Michael Bolton. No one will ever convince me that he isn't a great vocalist. And I am far from alone on this. The widow of Otis Redding absolutely loved Michael's version of this. "Zelma Redding, Otis's widow, wrote a letter to Michael Bolton saying his cover was her all-time favorite version of her husband's classic. She was so moved by Bolton's performance "that it brought tears to my eyes. It reminded me so much of my husband." Bolton had the letter framed and it hangs on his office wall." https://www.songfacts.com/facts/otis-redding/sittin-on-the-dock-of-the-bay . And if you go down to the comments on this video, you'll see how much others love Michael's singing too. But for whatever reason people make fun of him. I don't get it, but my opinion will never be swayed or changed by them.

I personally like this version much better than Chuck Berry's original version.

@JoSweetHeart My favorite singer, Lauren Talley, put that one in a medley. Sing / I've Got A Song was on Lauren's second solo album. "Sing" is first in the medley and lasts for about the first minute of the medley.

The Sesame Street children's TV show is where this song came from in 1971, but it was covered by both the legendary Barbra Streisand and the late and legendary Karen Carpenter. This rendition is from the 20th anniversary Sesame Street special in 1989. The 2:06 mark is my favorite because my most favorite character is shown behind the counter of the place that was left to him in Mr. Hooper's will. 😄 😄 😄

God bless you and Barbra always!!!

P.S. My only question is when Mr. Hooper's passing took place in 1982, where was David exactly where his plan of becoming a lawyer was concerned? In other words, how much law school was left for him to complete or was he already finished by then?
