Otis Redding - Try A Little Tenderness (1966) [VIDEO]

 "Try a Little Tenderness" is a song written by "Irving King" (James Campbell and Reginald Connelly) and Harry M. Woods, and recorded separately by both Ruth Etting and Bing Crosby in 1933. Subsequent recordings were made by such recording artists as Jimmy Durante, Frank Sinatra, Rod Stewart, Frankie Laine, Percy Sledge, Al Jarreau and Etta James. Also, Tina Turner sang it as a part of her 1999/2000 Twenty Four Seven Tour in a duet with John Miles.

The Otis Redding version:
A popular version in an entirely new form was recorded by Otis Redding in 1966. Redding's recording features a slow soulful opening that eventually builds into a frenetic R&B conclusion. It has been named on a number of "best songs of all time" lists, including those from Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It is in the 204th position on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest songs of all time.

The story behind Otis' version is the following: First, Aretha Franklin is the first black artist to cover the song in 1962 (in "The Tender, The Moving, The Swinging Aretha Franklin", Columbia). After hearing it, Sam Cooke adds it to his live shows, as can be heard on his live LP "At the Copa" (1964). In Cooke's version, only two verses are included, as part of a medley (with "For sentimental reasons" and "You send me"). This is the only version that Otis Redding knew, which is why he only sings those two verses.

Wayne Newton - The Best of Wayne Newton (1967)


How about some early Wayne Newton tonight? I LOVE Wayne Newton - especially his early stuff, before his voice changed. I like his singing now, too, but being the nostalgic that I am, I prefer listening to him when he was just a young lad. (BTW, how old was he when his voice finally changed?) Well, by 1967, Wayne had already had several hits and had recorded several albums, so this is his first "greatest hits" album. It's great because it's got all the early favorites, including his signature song "Danke Schoen". (Of course, every time I hear this song, I think of Ferris Bueller.) I love how the liner notes describe Wayne as "an apple-cheeked young fellow with a big, wide grin". What a great description! And, you gotta love the photo on the album cover - the hand up by his face and the perfectly coiffed hair! And Wayne still has the perfectly coiffed hair! I'm one of the few people on this earth who has yet to go to Las Vegas, but when I do go, I definitely plan to go see Wayne! I've heard he puts on the best show. But, for now, I will just have to listen to "the great songs by the great young singer known as MR. EXCITEMENT!"

Track listing for The Best of Wayne Newton (1967):

Side 1:
1. Danke Schoen
2. Bill Bailey
3. Laura Lee
4. I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover
5. After the Laughter
6. Wiederseh'n

Side 2:
1. Summer Wind
2. Days of Wine and Roses
3. Apple Blossom Time
4. Games That Lovers Play
5. You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Loves You

Willie Nelson - Stardust

 


At the height of outlaw country, Willie Nelson pulled off perhaps the riskiest move of the entire bunch. He set aside originals, country, and folk and recorded Stardust, a collection of pop standards produced by Booker T. Jones. Well, it's not entirely accurate to say that he put away country and folk, since these are highly idiosyncratic interpretations of "Georgia on My Mind," "All of Me," "Moonlight in Vermont," and "Don't Get Around Much Anymore," blending pop, country, jazz, and folk in equal measures. It's not that Willie makes these songs his own, it's that he reimagines these songs in a way that nobody else could, and with his trusty touring band, he makes these versions indelible. It may be strange to think that this album, containing no originals from one of America's greatest songwriters, is what made him a star, and it continues to be one of his most beloved records, but it's appropriate, actually. Stardust showcases Nelson's skills as a musician and his entire aesthetic — where there is nothing separating classic American musical forms, it can all be played together — perhaps better than any other album, which is why it was a sensation upon its release and grows stronger with each passing year.

Tracks:

1 Stardust - Carmichael, Parish 3:53
2 Georgia on My Mind - Carmichael, Gorrell 4:20
3 Blue Skies - Berlin 3:34
4 All of Me - Marks, Simons 3:54
5 Unchained Melody - North, Zaret 3:50
6 September Song - Anderson, Weill 4:35
7 On the Sunny Side of the Street - Fields, McHugh 2:36
8 Moonlight in Vermont - Blackburn, Suessdorf 3:25
9 Don't Get Around Much Anymore - Ellington, Russell 2:33
10 Someone to Watch over Me - Gershwin, Gershwin 4:03
11. Scarlett Ribbons
12. I Can See Clearly Now
