Otis Redding - You Left The Water Running

[@dogduckchikin7588]

our god of creation !! wanted him more!! otis and sam cooke taken way 2 soon! thank god !! a trillion times!! that we recorded them !!

[@fautrelthierry3192]

merci MONSIEUR j ai 64 ans et je suis toujours fan

[@thomasstanley-kk2sg]

I was fortunate to pick up the three disc set THE OTIS REDDING STORY back in 1993. I think it had 60 tracks, and most are amazing. I remember "You Left the Water Running" and how much I enjoyed it. It almost sounds like an outtake; It's as if they weren't sure they would keep/release it. We are so lucky that they did. I am torn between Otis Redding and Sam Cooke as my favorite male vocalist of any genre...😊

[@Yeldineyintun]

I’m 36 and coming up on a year of listening to nothing but Stax/MS/Motown soul. I always loved the basics, but I overlooked the greatest music ever made for most of my life, and now I’m head over heals for it. Otis is my all time fav, right above Wilson Pickett. I can’t believe how many amazing songs this man left us by age 26. His prolific nature was a gift to mankind

[@jabbermocky4520]

This piece is a rarely heard gem. One of my very favorite Otis Redding songs. And you are right, he was simply the greatest soul singer who ever lived.

[@treydog317]

I have never heard this Otis Redding version of one of my favorite Dan Penn songs. Brilliant!

[@tomclohessy1050]

Just one more gem written by Dan Penn

[@johnsandman1148]

I've seen "R. Hall" listed among the credits. Rick Hall?

[@byellisjohnson]

Always good to find an Otis track I haven't heard!!!

[@anthonyhorsley8344]

I joined the british army in 1969 i was stationed in germany i bought his lp otis in europe im now 70 years old and still listen to him on cd one of the greatest thanks otis

[@lebe220]

Otis saved me, pulled me out of a terrible burn out; I listened to him day and night, literally, because I had to in order to save the project. I´ll dedicate him a song one day, when I have a melody I believe he might be satisfied with.

[@elewo2]

Otis left a hole in Americas heart when he joined glory hill in the sky!

[@pasqualemaione5162]

Grande

[@lukebarnes9568]

The WORLD mate!!

[@timanderson6784]

Oh my...did not hear this 'till today! Tears of joy .

[@stacy3525]

Otis Redding ❤️ RIP King of Soul what a treasure it truly is to being able to have your amazing songs as “since you left youd left me(them) behind”!!

[@davewalker7775]

The goat if this man had lived longer how I miss him so in my high school yearbook this was my favorite singer 74 years old now

[@JimmySmithWesson]

Otis you'd be 71 years old now. We love you just as much as we would if you were still alive. R.I.P.

[@QuijoteModerno]

This song is so special... love all the otis stuff but this is just brilliant!

[@brendaobrien7872]

Who doesn't like Otis. What a fucking excellent tune.

[@mroberts4086]

So much talent/soul.. Otis’ voice can’t be match. Love him💕

[@aidenconnolly1]

All my life ive loved soul music and no one can deliver like the late great Otis Redding.

[@lesleycraven1333]

Hi Ade, I hope that Your well. Ade I have stopped almost all Meds and it's great I would like

[@lesleycraven1333]

I meant to say see You one day...

[@dominicsalvary5881]

The God of soul music.

[@angietaype1063]

My english teacher made me listen to this song.. I fell in love with it !

[@abovetheriver]

Been looking for this for awhile. Seems to be a mostly forgotten Otis tune. Thank you for uploading!

[@jasminaogrady7470]

I can't stop listening to this song since I bought the August issue of MOJO magazine! The free cd that comes with it is called: "You Gotta Move! The Rock & Soul Sounds Of Muscle Shoals, Alabama". It has some wonderful music by Fame Gang, Wilson Pickett, Arthur Alexander, Eddie Hinton, The Swampers, James Govan, Bettye Lavette, Drive-By Truckers, Jimmy Hughes... and, off course, my favourite - "You Left The Water Running"!

[@sherryoneill8020]

I found it on a compilation CD that I got on Amazon.

[@TheGirlracer01]

This is one of my faves by Otis 😍😍😍😍

[@Grungebaby82]

i cant sing along to the final verse of this without weeping - perfect delivery nothing but SOUL

[@lisedelys3773]

De la musique qui fait du bien, qui met de la bonne humeur. Dès, les premières notes ça prend aux tripes... Même ma petite fille d' 1 an danse quand elle entend Otis! Un vrai bonheur....Chapeau bas l artiste⭐❤

[@siriusstarchild325]

This is my favorite version of this. I love the horns that were added to the remix several years after Otis recorded the demo.

[@jacquelinehubbard6702]

What a gift to his fans, still loving Otis

[@18KOFF19]

he has such an energetic voice!!

[@carlosbalestretti1854]

Eternal glory wherever you are

[@benumhoefer520]

This is great. First heard this song thru James Govan's rendition... Check his version out if you have not!

[@joangabriel6718]

OTIS WAS SO GOOD,RAW SOUL.❤

[@ethelgill2431]

First time hearing this but I like it still Otis .

[@lisedelys3773]

Mon préféré..Otis for ever😍

[@elhimeradnane9152]

Moi aussi je te passe le salut du maroc

[@kennethcoulon778]

Love it

[@randykintzley5923]

Otis was a gift

[@PatrickWall12]

This song, "Mr Pitiful" or "These arms of mine"? They are my 3 favourites from this great legend of soul. All his songs are great, these are my 3 favourites but I cannot pick just one. they have to be joint #1 and the rest joint #2. A great talent gone too soon who achieved so much.

[@5871248]

I played wicked's version 3 times and now Otis 3 times... close call but OTIS by a length.

[@pieroangelo2]

ascoltavo questa canzone quando avevo 16 anni...meravigliosa! bello ascoltarla dopo tanto tempo!!

[@JimmySmithWesson]

love otis just found this song in his discography drinking some hennessey and i keep playing it over and over. Greatness.

[@raffboss33]

Amazing song.

[@jacquelinehubbard6702]

Love love love this

[@jackpettersen1720]

Otis at his best. Fabulous. Thankyou Paul Jones for the play.

[@Durktle]

Well, the sound isn't blocked anymore, and I'm glad for that, and for the fact you posted it. Thanks! Been wanting to hear Otis's version of this for a while...

[@lindseygrisom9810]

My fav song

[@athensga67]

With all due respect to greats like Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Sam & Dave, etc., by far the best recording of this song is the one by Maurice & Mac. Give it a listen!

[@randyalexander4595]

not even close to Otis

[@justinchaste]

Big O, Sam and Dave AND The Wicked Mr Pickett ALL covered this tune...THAt fact sez it all re this song being a masterpiece of "unknown" soul...It is very tough choice, but I'm going with Otis as the winner...This is first take demo for a Wilson Pickett session...I originally dug this on Wilson Pickett LP I bought 'em as young teen ager...

[@califgirl47]

Thanks for posting a perfect copy of this wonderful record.

[@angstriddenyouth]

@Durktle Thanks for letting me know. Glad the record company are letting people listen to it at last!

[@Bowser1948]

[@marcelmotoking6303]

[@Bowser1948]

Going to see Steve Cropper at Eden Court Inverness sunday ....wish the Big Man was there too

[@SaphirSouenEstherG]

Paroles You left the water running when you left me here behind You left the water running, running from these eyes of mine You turned out the light of love You left with another guy You turned off all your love for me But you forgot to turn off the cry You forgot to turn off the cry You pulled the shades away down low And disconnected the telephone But these tears a running from my eyes I can't turn them off and on No, I can't turn them off and on You left the water running when you left me here behind You left the water running, running from these eyes of mine You locked the door and left me outside And then you threw the key away But baby, you'll regret, baby you'll be upset When you get your water bill to pay When you get your water bill to pay You left the water running when you left me here behind You left the water running, running from these eyes of mine Source : LyricFind Paroliers : George Henry Jackson Paroles de You Left the Water Running © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC

[@doe2012]

Big O,-Mr. Soul. o yes!!!!

[@fleurbleudamour7793]

good jess

[@johnsandman1148]

Is this a duet? Can an additional voice that comes in on the chorus be attributed to an overdub Otis made at Muscle Shoals? Dave Marsh sheds no light on the possibility. Maybe I'm hearing things.

[@RAMLIA1]

❤️❤️❤️

[@angstriddenyouth]

I couldn't find a good version of this on youtube, so decided to put one up. Unfortunately, the sound has been blocked. Hopefully, the record company will reach an agreement with youtube, because it is a great song. In the meantime we can spend some quite time enjoying a slideshow of Otiis Redding in silence...

[@hcbaby1988]

has anybody got a time machine?

[@suegreenbar]

I reckon u-tube is the closest you'll get to a time machine...imagine life without it!!

[@BluesInMySoul]

Check out Sam and Dave's version

[@romeromaciel2353]

High Fidelity - Nick Hornby

[@BluesInMySoul]

Check out Sam and Dave's version. You will love that one too!

[@TR-yi8up]

this would make a Purify's eyes water

[@jackspringer270]

the Flying Burrito Brothers sang the cover.68/70 or so.

[@ADMIN-qe4ri]

[@rosendito]

I uploaded the Amazing Rhythm Aces version

[@christinareed2799]

they aint noyhing like otis

[@justinchaste]

LOL! Joe Tex over the Big O? THAT is comical...Didn't like Aretha? I'm on the floor in hysterics...

[@TandemSecret]

Never heard a bad Dan Penn nor Otis song. Prefer the unedited (demo) version of this without the added horns, etc., (and the original vocal mistakes). Yeah the mistakes keep it real!

[@teardropgiggle]

:(

[@57dogsbody]

not as good as Barbara Lynn, but just about as good as Maurice & Mac. Isn`t this a bootleg on Stone?

[@RomayPM]

I think Barbara Lynn's version sounds more like a Tamla recording. I love Maurice and Mac's version but, for me, Otis still steals it

[@PaulDA2000]

This sounds pretty good. I've never heard of it though. I never thought the band behind Otis was very tight, it sounds generic to me. While I loved a lot of soul growing up (James Brown obviously, Wilson Pickett, Sam & Dave, Joe Tex) I never was much of a fan of Otis, Aretha, Solomon Burke and some others.

[@GREATTECH1]

To each his own. The people you mentioned made up the majority of my "soul" experience. It made me happy and soothed me when I was sad. Thank you for your comments, I feel the sincerity.

[@justinchaste]

YOU created the dislike...Hello?
