Good evening everyone! Hope everyone had a nice day. I have today's song ready for you to pick your favorite version. If you missed yesterday's song you can find it here.

Which Song Version Is Better(Number 8)

 

Today's song.....

(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay - Otis Redding

 



 

(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay - Michael Bolton

 



 

For me there is no competition on these two versions. Otis Redding gets my vote for the best version.

How about you? Who gets your vote?

Otis Redding.
Michael, you cannot even understand a word he says, he slurs all his words.
Erin O'Riordan Jan 20, 2009, 7:42pm EST
Otis Redding, without a doubt.
Ashley Prince Jan 20, 2009, 7:44pm EST
Otis Redding. Michael makes it sound bad. Point blank. He does. :)
Laurie R. Jan 20, 2009, 7:49pm EST
Otis Redding. I had forgotten that Michael Bolton remade this song.

I knew Michael Bolton back in the days before he changed his name. It used to be Michael Boloton, although I'm not quite sure of the spelling. He used to play at a place I used to frequent and he ws a nice enough guy and I found him attractive, but his music was never great, or at least I didn't think so.

Otis has it hands down!
Courtney C. Jan 20, 2009, 9:26pm EST
No question, Otis wins it!
Angela A. Jan 20, 2009, 9:42pm EST
I love Otis Redding.
But, I have to say that Micheal's version swayed me over to his side.
Micheal wins for me!

C'mon, are you serious? Otis Redding. Micheal Bolton can't sing his way out of a Disney movie.
Lonnie F. Jan 20, 2009, 10:02pm EST
First off, this is not because I am from Ga. and grew up about 30 miles from Macon , where Mr redding got started----but more because I used to sing DOCK OF THE BAY in a rock//country band : IN THIS CASE, THE ORIGINAL IS THE BEST . Lonnie Fowler

Otis is a great singer but I like Michaels version better!
Karen F. Jan 21, 2009, 10:51am EST
Otis without a doubt. I like Michael Bolten but he sounded like he was hurting.
Kelly Kay Jan 21, 2009, 11:07am EST
Otis, my man!
Chelsea R. Jan 21, 2009, 1:10pm EST
Otis is the pick!
Sheila J. Jan 21, 2009, 1:40pm EST
Otis Redding for sure!

Otis is the best
Debbie R. Jan 21, 2009, 9:19pm EST
Definately Otis!
Kathy D. Jan 21, 2009, 9:42pm EST
No contest on this one - Otis!
Diana B. Jan 22, 2009, 12:13pm EST
It has to be Otis Redding's version!
Jen G. Jan 22, 2009, 10:12pm EST
I like the arrangement Michael Bolton used and his voice is good but he does a little too much screaming at the end. I really liked the lead guitar. I've always loved Otis Redding's original version but wouldn't mind seeing someone different cover it with more energy. Hmmm...not sure who though.
Victoria H. Jan 23, 2009, 11:12am EST
Otis Redding. I just don't like Michael Bolton.
Chas Andrews Jan 23, 2009, 5:45pm EST
Otis Redding. Michael Bolton would lose in a contest against himself.
regina k. Jan 24, 2009, 3:31pm EST
Mr. Redding of course
