Try a Little Tenderness

Otis Redding will always have a special place in my heart. Words like soulful and legendary come to my mind when I think of him. In my younger days if you'd asked me what my favourite song was the answer would have likely been an Otis Redding classic. There are so many to choose from:

These Arms of Mine
Pain My Heart
Come to Me
Chained and Bound
I've Been Loving You Too Long
That's How Strong My Love Is
Try a Little Tenderness

and the one I heard (and lip synced) every Saturday growing up:

I've Got Dreams to Remember

December 10, 2006 marks the 39th anniversary of his death, the world was robbed of an extraordinarily talented artist and I for one will always hold him dear.
