A little about me and this channel:
My name is James Aubrey IV and I just recently graduated college from Iowa State University. After college I decided to take a leap of faith. So I moved to San Diego California to pursue my passion for videography/ KZbin. Overall I'm a pretty chill person, outside of KZbin I like to longboard, dance, play video games, lift weights and hangout with my friends. I know that success on KZbin won't happen overnight but I'm willing to stay patient and put in the work to try to prefect my craft daily. This KZbin channel will be centered around my life after college. You will be able to see all of the ups and downs on my journey to success. So if you like the content make sure you subscribe so you can be apart of the Rome Life Family. (Let's build our own personal Rome's together.)
What is the Rome Life ? And What does it mean to be apart of it?
Rome Life is something I started during my Sophomore year of high school (one of the worst times in my life) it started off as me documenting my journey to recovery from my shoulder surgery but eventually it turned into a platform that I could use to encourage myself as well as others to chase our dreams.
Rome Life isn't just a saying it's a way of life and for the people who want to be apart of it have to realize that. Rome wasn't built in a day it took a lot of handwork time and most importantly patience. So you can't expect your dreams to be any different

On Dec 8th, Otis Redding recored dock of the ,two days later he was killed in a plane crash. He was 26. At the end of the session Otis,and co writer Steve Cropper could not find a lyric for the end,so they had Otis do the now famous whistling at the end It was to be temporary, but he never made it back. Can you please react to " I've been loving you to long" Shows of his powerful voice.

[@msbluejayway]

It just hit me again. He was just 26...

[@Mr05Chuck]

Man I didn’t know he died two days later

[@carolyncappitelli1460]

The Bee Gees wrote To Love Somebody for Otis, but he died before he could record it, so they put it on their next album.

Oh shit it was only 2 days before? Didn’t know that...

If your listening to Otis, you must listen to "Try A Little Tenderness."

[@mattshaw6180]

Right on; that's a must.

[@fidel2xl]

This reactor does NOT listen to the lyrics. He only listens to the beat and the 'tune'. He is the absolute WORST reactor on KZbin.

@@fidel2xl Let's not hate on friend James. He's opened his mind to new worlds. The rest will come with time.

[@fidel2xl]

@@mattshaw6180 - He is literally the WORST KZbin reactor. I've been watching his reactions for the past month and I am not impressed. I'm horrified. The guy does volume reactions (like 10 a day), so it's shallow low-quality reactions. He does not take his time with each song. All he wants is 'Likes' and Subscribers. I don't think he has ever actually heard a single line of lyrics in any of the songs he reacted to. This guy reacted to one of the most profoundly deep painful songs ever released, and danced to the beat during the entire thing...and only commented on the beat and the 'tune'. WORST REACTOR ON KZbin. THE WORST.

The live version from 1967's Monterey Pop Festival is the best version.

AS Bachman Turner overdrive says, YOU AIN'T SEEN NUTHIN' YET! TRY A LITTLE TENDERNESS has been covered by so many singers I can't even remember them all. He died young in an airplane crash. However, EVERY song has become a solid gold classic!! If he had lived, he would have been the undisputed king of Rhythm and Blues.

[@hughdavidvisor1769]

Not just him, but his backing band, the Barkays, went down with him on that plane. Only guitarist Steve Cropper and bassist Donald "Duck" Dunn, who'd begged off that tour, remain. Both were in the Blues Brothers band.

The King of Soul. Otis is beyond legendary. His voice was vintage aged-in-the-barrel.

[@surlechapeau]

J, you'll love his "These Arms of Mine", it is spectacular. It was used in several movies and tv episodes. He had at least eight top 10's on the R&B charts. His his earlier work really shows off his soulful voice, and should be listened to. This was the first single released after his untimely death.

[@danielolson5378]

Otis joined his buddy into Memphis and Stax who was supposed to record. In between the sessions Otis stepped forward to the microphone and began singing These Arms of Mine. The producers heard this song and were super excited and asked the engineer if he got that on tape! Yes the tape was actually recording and Stax signed Otis there and then and he became the label's biggest artist.

[@surlechapeau]

Otis Redding is in my top of all time favorites! My go to Otis song that my hubby and I listen to on Sunday mornings with coffee is "Cigarettes and Coffee", "pain in my heart", "Love man", "Try a little tenderness", These arms of mine", "I've been loving you", "I've got dreams to remember", etc. I could go on forever.

[@lancejennings6809]

Oris Redding, Try A Little Tenderness

[@susanhouse938]

This is an absolutely awesome song and a timeless classic. I love this unforgettable song that will never die! If you like this song you'll like Rainy Night in Georgia by Brook Benton. Marvin Gaye was also a legend in his own time. What's Going On is probably one of his most popular songs.

[@ronkrupovich7152]

Timeless hit. I have loved this song for decades. Thanks for playing and enjoying it.

[@mulatanyc865]

Definitely beautiful song! Otis was very unique, smooth kinda blue sound to this song. So sad he pass away so young.

[@TheDivayenta]

The Prince of Soul. I saw him at the Monterey Pop festival in 67. He was electric- those performances are all on YT! He was backed by Booker T and the MG’s, too! Such a tragic loss at 27. More, please! ( He wrote “ Respect”!)

Otis hailed from Macon GA, a small little town that produced so much amazing music. Little Richard came from there too. And so did The Allman Brothers Band. This is a band that you really should check out. I'd start with a live video from the Fillmore East. "Whipping Post". I promise you'll really enjoy their music.

When this came out in 1968 I was a 22 year old sailor in the US Navy and finishing up my first tour. I actually didn't get to hear it until we returned to Hawaii in mid spring after a deployment off North Korea after the USS Pueblo had been captured by the NK. It was kind a reminder of the type of music that had been around in 1967, "The Summer of Love", and San Francisco was the hub of that culture. Otis had already been around for many years by then. Sad he died so early.

[@827dusty]

This is an absolute iconic song. Otis actually died before this song was released as a record. It was never 100 percent finished to his liking, so it sat in the studio for a couple of months. After Otis died, the record company had it finished with all of the recordings that were taped. It is a wonderful song. We miss you Otis.

[@clairash2004]

I love your reactions BTW. Roachford,Only to be with you. Its a wonderful thing, watching a young man, such as yourself, enjoying the music that has come before.

[@juliefox1743]

When the BeeGees were struggling to make a hit when they first arrived in the UK, their manager introduced them to Otis Redding and they were of course star stuck. Then their manager told them ro write a song for Otis to record. So they wrote "To Love Somebody" for him. Sadly Otis did not live to record it so the BeeGees recorded it themselves. You should react to "To love Somebody" by the BeeGees.

Ok, so there's this guy by the name of Marc Brousard who did a cover of Otis Redding's "These arms of mine." Now, I'm not trying to toot my own horn, but I'm the son of a choir director and my mother is a great gospel singer (she actually has a video on youtube called "Midnight Cry" Darla Spain), and two sisters that can step on stage with any vocalist alive and hold their own, so I have a pretty trained ear. Marc Broussard has one of the greatest voices I've ever heard and does Mr. Redding's music justice. Give him a look.

[@lindaadcox8274]

Play his “Try a Little Tenderness”. You will love it!!!!
