Otis Redding - Try a Little Tenderness | REACTION

[@dagmar.6954]

Love Otis Redding nicknamed the "King of Soul". Sadly he died in 1967 in a plane crash at only the age of 26. But he left us some beautiful music. "(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay" is one of my all time favorite songs. Other hits he had were "These Arms Of Mine", "Respect", "I've Been Loving You Too Long" etc.

He strikes again 😂

[@jerseydevil1]

That was one of the first songs that I remember my father putting me onto. He said my grandpa put him onto it. He would play it when we were out fishing.

[@darthzo4493]

Did u know James brown told him don’t get on that plane cause he got rid of the same plane and knew how faulty it was

[@bridowned]

Otis Redding, Live at the Monterey Pop Festival. Will change your life 🎶

[@tgforty5]

This was the studio version, which was a little restrained. If you really want to hear this song full force, listen to it on the "Live in Europe" album, or live at the Monterey Pop Festival.

[@johnwyatt9193]

When I moved into my barricks room in Germany the previous occupant left behind the greatest hits of Otis Redding. I wore out the entire cassette.👍🎵

[@laurelrossman4140]

This is the song Duckie lip syncs in Pretty In Pink to Molly Ringwald in the record store. Love it!

[@jenniferfoster1692]

Will forever associate this song with that scene. Too good.

[@BillyVicenti]

It's also the song "Nuke' laloosh messes up the lyrics on the Bus in Bull Durham.

@@BillyVicenti Good reference! Love that movie.

So underrated!! Such deep soul!!! ❤❤❤you Otis!!!!

[@bluesrock1]

Otis recorded this song at the Stax Records studio in Memphis, TN. Booker T. & the MGs were his backing band. Actually, Booker T and the boys were the Stax House Band, and backed up almost every performer who recorded with Stax in that era.

[@TheCaulfield1]

This man literally sings to my soul!!! Brings tears to my eyes...WOW!!!

[@Roberta-my7qr]

Rated as one of the greatest songs ever written.

[@ericsmith6615]

Wife Speaking, SPICY...Yes it is...Otis is so Awesome!!...That drop was Amazing!!...Yes, those vocals absolutely phenomenal..., An Absolute Legend for sure Ty..."Sitting on the dock of the bay".... my very favorite, Loved it since childhood..Great Reaction as Always!!❤

[@bryanCJC2105]

This is a great rendition of this song. So soulful. It does remind me of Jon Cryer's little lip-sync homage to that song in "Sixteen Candles". Maybe doesn't do Otis Redding justice but that movie did introduce the song to lots of young people.

[@loricox9678]

Thought I recognized it. But i believe you mean the movie, Pretty in Pink.

[@user-uh2xg1vc2o]

You took the words right out of my mouth! Love that scene…..Epic! 😊. And yes it was Pretty in Pink 💕

@@user-uh2xg1vc2o You're right ! It was Pretty in Pink! Ugh old age.

[@loricox9678]

@bryanCJC2105 not a problem. So many of the movies back then were so similar

[@jayepeacock2133]

An amazing song sung by a legend. Did you know that the Bee Gees wrote " To Love Somebody" for Otis Redding but he died before he could record it, so they recorded it themselves and it became one of their early hits.

[@alchemy-oi8xf]

Bless ya, Ryan, for keepin' the light burnin' for soul/r&b on the channel. The version of this song by Three Dog Night is surprisingly terrific, also, and has the kind of ramped-up ending Nick was wishing for.

[@bobbiewallace4008]

Definitely look at Three dog nights version

[@denisetowe895]

I love this song! ❤ thanks for checking it out!

[@tbone2071]

Definitely on the Mount Rushmore of R&B and Soul. He's fantastic! Only 26 when he passed away in that crash.

[@destination22ful]

Great reaction. Suggest you give a listen to “(Sittin on) The dock of the Bay.” It was his biggest hit and it was written by Otis and Steve Cropper who was a member of Star Records’ house band Booker T. & the M.G’s.

[@patriciadavis1393]

My favorite two songs by Otis are These Arms of Mine who Ben Uncle soul does a perfect version of and I've been loving you too long❤❤❤❤

[@bluelionvintage8134]

Okay, kiddos, don't be ragging on old music. Check out one of my very favorite songs--I Can't Get Started by Bunny Berigan--recorded in 1937. It's a fantastic example of music from that era. This was a great version of Try a Little Tenderness.....Mr. Redding done good. Ty, good to see you still around so much!!

[@mitzifrancis9843]

Loved the original and thoroughly enjoyed Three Dog Night's cover as well! Their version draws out the ending and it's much more satisfying imho.

[@TZ61]

When this man's voice was quieted much too soon, we all suffered some.

[@kathyrizzi8754]

I love this song like the rest of the Boomers here!👍🎶🎵🎶🖤🖤🖤👏👏👏

[@mberg1956]

Otis Redding was part of the great music that was pushing into new territory. It is worth noting that recorded songs were under 2 minutes back in the mid-60s to fit the radio format so, unless you listen to a live version, you are going to get what the label wanted to release and miss out on most of the personality the artist wanted in the song.

[@Cheshirecat-nx9zn]

Three Dog Night does this song too.

[@gailjohnson5950]

There are, as I recall, live versions of this song that were longer and Otis DID get carried away.

[@Jules-um4yy]

Love Otis Redding and this song in particular. Please check out the live version at Monterey Pop Festival along with "I've Been Loving You Too Long". Thanks guys for reacting to this great artist who died way too young. RIP Otis❤

[@alicecatron9870]

The Big O!!! Another Georgia Gem!

[@williambreese8377]

The Commitments did a stellar version of this song

[@sharonwelsh8102]

Certainly did

[@leemiracle6840]

Yes, my favorite version, Andrew Strongs voice is incredible.

[@itchyandred4131]

Three dog night does a killer cover of this song 💕

[@goodowner5000]

Otis was the guy always in the drunk tank on the classic "The Andy Griffith Show".

[@Debcatawba]

A suggestion that you guys, especially Ryan will love : Another Park Another Sunday by The Doobie Brothers.

[@MoeRon-ry2zr]

Memphis sound at its finest!!!

[@anthonyblakely399]

Otis Redding is the pioneer of soul!!!! He is awesome!!!! Try to react to the studio version of Three Dog Night spin on the song with Cory Wells singing the song!!!! React to it!!! It is FIRE!!!!

[@danielcarroll3ify]

Listen to the version at Monterey Pop Festival backed by Booker T & the MGs.

[@christines1709]

There's a funny scene in Bull Durham where Tim Robbins is singing this song and getting all the words wrong!

[@user-fc8lz1cg4x]

See my comment. 😊

[@joskempbaker831]

💜💜💜The Commitment's version of this song pays homage to Otis and its a banger!💜💜💜

[@dgodfrey8953]

i love that! 3 dog night does a wicked version too.

[@leemiracle6840]

The Commitments have the big end payoff he's looking for.

[@genabourassa7962]

I really enjoy the version by Three Dog Night, they do another version by Otis which I prefer to this version.

[@Newfie-zc7ug]

One of the best covers I have ever heard of this song was done by (believe it or not ) Three Dog night ! Yup !

[@buckfan1969]

Check out the live version he did at the Monterey Pops in 1967; not long before he died in that plane crash. Fyi; this song was written in the 20's.

[@jeffmazzoli9910]

Got to try Sitting on the dock of the bay

[@bella-xp7qd]

Corey Wells from Three Dog Night covered this too.

[@tstranger405]

My late Mother's favorite song of all time.

[@micheleparker3780]

Gorgeous song by a great singer. Listen to the version by The Commitments for that payoff at the end.

[@uberduberdave]

For me, when I hear the name Otis, I always think of the town drunk from Mayberry...

[@angelagazzo4800]

John cryer danced to this in pretty in pink movie in the record store.

[@robinakym2356]

One of the best. A great version of this on ‘The Commitments’ soundtrack from 1991. If you haven’t seen it, do yourself a favour

[@ErikJan4242]

Guys, take a listen to a soulful and funky song by Otis called "Down In The Valley"...something to get your groove on! 😎

[@user-lq4qe7pj9s]

If the guys go back to Otis Redding, which they hopefully will at some point, the song "Hard to Handle" is terribly underrated and a great juxtaposition to songs like "Try A Little Tenderness" and "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay." I don't want to give anything away to the guys, but Ryan may very well really like the arrangement of "Hard to Handle." There is also a very respectable version (not easy to find with covers) by the band The Black Crowes from 1990, which keeps the soul/R&B vocals but concentrates more on a rock musical arrangement.

[@rachelinKY]

I love this song. Otis reminds me of Otis (the dog) from Milo and Otis.

[@leemiracle6840]

Yes the version by the Commitments from the movie of the same name is crazy good. Like this version also.

[@jamesboykin7319]

You guys should do the song of Tramp with Otis and Carla Thomas.

[@nancy-su9zk]

YASSSS, LAWD!!!!

[@williamweiss6128]

Great band too.

[@joelliebler5690]

How about Otis Elevators? Great artist who would have been much bigger had he lived . Love the song!

[@royfayebridgeman2572]

Did he say "Otis" is good name for a dog ??? ...Disrepect- ful to Otis Redding' s brilliant musical legacy, in my opinion.

[@ViewsFromThe502]

Plenty of dogs have human names. Relax.

[@loriannrichardson7644]

Who is the midddle reviewer trying to school. I seriously doubt Otis would have taken lessons from him -- just sayin'. BTW, the original sounds absolutely NOTHING like this -- totallt different genre.

[@ViewsFromThe502]

When did we ever say that Otis had a bad voice? His vocals have nothing to do with the climax of the song

[@loriannrichardson7644]

​@@ViewsFromThe502 Yes, I'm aware that this response is 6 months later, but correction. You misunderstood both my points. Middle guy was criticizing the arrangement, hence, I commented, "I don't think Redding needed lessons from him." I never said he critcized his vocals. Re-watch the video.

[@ViewsFromThe502]

Did anyone mention that he needed lessons? I'm confused. All we do here is give our opinions on the song, just like anyone else would.

[@leetroy3129]

👎👎👎!!!
