For example, to turn the words he is into a contraction, we must remove the i and replace it with an apostrophe to form he’s. The Dock of the Bay is the first of a number of posthumously released Otis Redding albums, and his seventh studio album. In order to form a contraction, the letter or letters that are removed from the word must be replaced by an apostrophe.
This usually occurs when the word ends with “ing” and the word contracts to “ sittin` ” or “wastin` “.Īlso – pronouns can collapse into the verb.įor example – I watch ’em roll away again ( I watch them ) Redding was excited, conducting Booker T on piano and Al Jackson on drums, while singing horn parts to the Mar-Keys. To capture their creation in the heat of the moment, they gathered the MG’s and the Mar-Keys for a late-night session. “Rocking” becomes “rockin´” – For example – “Rockin´ all over the world” I always seemed to do the things he liked. Words in English when spoken quickly or sung sometimes contain contractions. Otis Redding passed away in December 1967 (listen to William Bells 'A Tribute To A King' for a passionate and meaningful history lesson), so from the outside looking in,The Dock of The Bay could look like a posthumous cash-in collection of yet-to-be released songs with a few singles thrown in for good measure. make you upset?
