‘(Sittin’ On) The Dock Of The Bay’ — Otis Redding
Otis Redding wrote in a dock in the bay, or at least a rented houseboat in Sausalito, California, the lyrics of his most famous song after the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival. Redding was able to finalize the writing and producing the piece with Steve Cropper, the guitarist. Cropper mixed “Dock of the Bay” at Stax Studios after Redding died. The first posthumous single to reach No. 1 in the United States and to go No. 3 in the United Kingdom was “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay.”

‘Let It Be’ — The Beatles
The Beatles start to crumble apart, but McCartney took comfort in a dream wherein his late mother, Mary, gave him a few guidance. The situation impacted “Let it be”: “When I’m in trouble, Mother Mary comes to me.” “Let it be” was the title song of the last studio album produced by The Beatles in March 1970, and was the band’s closing song before the band disclosed its breakdown.
