Does that mean most survived the impact but then drowned?

Thank god someone was sitting on the dock of the bay watching the tide roll away or they wouldn't have known someone needed resucuing.

Otis Redding died at age 26 shortly after writing and recording 'The Dock of the Bay' which became a major hit after his death.
Like other great talents who died too young we can only guess at what might have been.

Huh, I didn't know the Bar-Kays--makers of "Soul Finger"--were on that plane, too. Such a shame.

Otis Redding also wrote “Respect” made popular by areatha Franklin. Gone too soon.

There was a movie a few years back called "The Identical" which was about if Elvis had survived into the 1990s, and as a result, Elvis impersonators weren't really a thing, except for the protagonist who looked a lot like Elvis. According to the director, Elvis would have made mellow rock akin to the Counting Crows.

Yes indeed it would have been fascinating to see the further evolution of Elvis's career. I guess with his vocal style he could adapt to most musical genres. He worked with so many talented people it is hard not to see him as a huge success in whatever he did. Though being a Star is never easy or predictable so who really knows.
