Otis Redding

Otis Ray Redding, Jr. (September 9, 1941 – December 10, 1967) was an American singer and songwriter, record producer, arranger, and talent scout. Considered one of the major figures in soul music and rhythm and blues, and one of the greatest singers in the history of popular music, his singing style influenced other soul artists of the 1960s, and he helped to craft the short-living and powerful style of R&B that formed the basis of the Stax Sound. After appearing at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival, he wrote and recorded "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" with Steve Cropper, which became the first posthumous number-one record on both the Billboard Hot 100 and R&B charts after his death in a plane crash.

I don't know much about my history, now
Don't know much about biology
Don't know much about the science book, now
Don't know much about the French I took

All I do know is I love you, now
And I wonder if you love me too
Ooh, what a wonderful world this could be

Ooh, I don't know much about geography, now
Don't know much about trigonometry, now
Don't know much about the algebra
Don't know what a slide rule is for

But I do know one and one is two, now
And I wonder if you love me too
Ooh, what a wonderful world this could be

I don't claim to be an 'A' student
But that's what I'm trying to be
But by being an 'A' student, baby
Look like I could win your love for me

Don't know much about the history, now, oh now
Don't know much about biology
I don't know much about the science book, now
Don't know much about the good French I took, oh

All I do know is I love you, now, oh now
And I wonder if you love me too
Ooh, what a wonderful world this could be

Good Lord, I don't claim to be an 'A' student
But that's what I'm trying to be, oh now
But if I have to be an 'A' student, baby
I'm gonna win your love for me

I don't know much about geography, now, oh now
Don't know much about trigonometry
Don't know much about the algebra, now
Don't know what a good slide rule is for

But I do know one and one is two, now, oh now
And I wonder if you love me too
Ooh, what a wonderful world this could be

Oh, my, my good Lord, I've been trying
I've been trying, I've been trying, oh Lord
To understand the thing
That I've been looking for
