Sad that most people only recognize the horns as "The Blues Brothers Intro Theme." Hopefully, NOW they know where it came from!

Jeanette Duda

Hate to admit this but I did until about 20 years ago! LOVE the Stones version!!

montauk6

Actually, I first heard it as a kid from the Bar-Kays performance on the Wattstax soundtrack.

Simon Coles

Why is that sad? The Blues Brothers is awesome!

Teddy S.Soprano

You right!!!!!....💯💯💯💯💯

@Mike Young You were raised up right

robert avalon

My god.. Otis is without doubt, the greatest artist I've ever heard..he's a monster..his voice and presence dwarfs every other act.. And that band.!!! Wow..

Craig Fazekas

Wicked Wilson Pickett was in this caliber, too. Greatness !!

hollidayevery

robert avalon The MG's on rhythm and the Mar-Keys (sometimes the Bar-Kays) on horns!

Jeff Barley

Otis at his best, a dance floor classic!

Mary Ann Campbell

Play that bass Donald

Bhola Oates

@PatrioticPirate Donald "Duck" Dunn, along with the rest of Booker T & The M.G.'s [Booker T. Jones (keyboards), Steve Cropper (guitar) and Al Jackson (drums)] were more or less the Stax Records "house" band who played on many, if not most, of the recordings on Stax. They backed Otis and many others.

Mercedyz Marie Guion

Exactly, PLAY IT!!!!!
and btw, the drums and horns are on point, as well!!!!
this is a song you can't help but move your hips to.

Teddy S.Soprano

I love this song and don't give a damn if it sounds like "I Can't Help Myself", according to these comments!!!!!

Blue Lion

I still love it, the riddem sounds like Time is tight, by Booker T. Jones.

Keith Philo

when it comes to soul there is only man and that man is OTIS REDDING

Aleister Blacke

What makes this such a great song is the sloppy bass line and the drums. They aren't overproduced or rehearsed. They just went in and jammed it out, and it is GREAT. Otis' vocals. The horn playing wrong notes at the end... This is without a doubt one of the greatest songs ever, and is one of my permanent go-to songs.

Guy Michel

He ALWAYS sounds like he was live. Otis lives!

Yvonne Mendez

That's right Ray I can't turn u loose and know I don't want to. Sing it Otis

jason thomas

I used to work as a bartender , the house band would belt this out near the end of the night , place went nuts every time

Harry Frezza

Sorry if I repeated this but there is a very good book out on Otis 'An Unfinished Life,' by Jonathan Gould. Great book

David Malsher

yup, reading it at the moment. It's excellent and comprehensive

Andreas Sjöberg

Harry Frezza thanks for the tip, brother. Gonna look it up. 🙏

Linda Wagner

My favorite Otis song. High school in the 60s. Eating my tuna roll on the quad with best friend Annette, and Otis blaring from the speakers! I'm never gonna turn you loose....sad day for us when he passed. RIP Otis...thanks for the great music and memories!

R Good

Talk about a Mount Rushmore of soul singers Otis is up there with Sam Cooke for sure.

Philip Thornton

It was my idol when I was a teenager him and Smokey Robinson. Kind of two sides of the same coin
Heard this first in the Cavern Club Liverpool 1968 Electrifying!!

Edah Crompton

Otis hits are never out dated, always bringing love in the heart of his listeners. I list en to most of his music on utube and radio stations.

I actually started to hear this song when I was in Rasputin. Now, I know where the Blues Brothers intro theme originally came from.

Utah Silvey

That was the Tennessee sound stack records

Themorrisdracula it's used in the opening seen of the Blues Brothers film as just an instrumental at a faster pace. I think that's what you may be thinking about

Many years ago I was driving I-16 thru Macon , GA listening to my eight track of Otis. I pulled off bought me a beer light up a big cigar parked in the middle of the Otis Reading bridge and cranked this song up. Heaven on earth!

instagrump_330

"Time Is Tight" by Booker T and the M.G.s. This came first, but those guys also played on it.

Greatness! The Chambers Brothers also did a great version of this song a couple of years later in 1968. As a kid back then I actually heard it before I heard Otis' version. That's why it will always be my favorite version. But Otis .... wow! Check out The Chambers Brothers' version: youtube.com/watch?v=Q3-t-6atIL0

Fagner Alves

Put speed 1.5 and make a close to the blues brothers

Harry Frezza

Sorry if I repeated this but there is a very good book out on Otis 'An Unfinished Life,' by Jonathan Gould. Great book

SylentEcho

Just heard this on the latest Sounds of the Sixties. What an awesome tune this song has!

W9WY Video

Booker T version sounds more like the Palace Hotel Balroom when Cab introduces the Blues Bros.

ZGryphon

Same band, for the most part.

kingkeefage

Winston Beech LOOK UP LACHY DOLEY. You're welcome! ;-)

Winston Beech

Booker Jones is my favorite Hammond player. Combined with Cropper, Dunn and Al Jackson they were one hell of a tight combo. Perhaps the greatest band that not too many people really know much about.

Winston Beech

Booker T song is "Time is Tight" - they did two versions of it. Blues brothers morphed the opening organ lick ofrom the Booker T song with the horn riffs from Otis Redding for the movie intro.

Cornelia Taylor

I read in one of his biographies that he loved to be in the room with musicians while he was recording his vocals. That those sessions would be smoking. I believe this was from a musician who played in his sessions. He said that Otis would get in the musicians' faces while he was singing songs like this - shaking his fists, etc...just rocking out - and the musicians would feed off that intense energy. The musician said that if he had lived - there was no doubt in his mind that Otis would have been a rocker. Can you imagine what this recording must have been LIKE? I'll bet it was awesome....

Linda Wagner

It was absolutely awesome! An old gal from back in the day! We were devastated when Otis passed.

Yvonne Mendez

That's u Ray can't turn u loose

EvilTreeFrogs

It's not a rip off of Sugar Pie Honey Bunch, both songs were produced and written under the same studio and the writers and producers of both songs worked closely together.

hollidayevery

EvilTreeFrogs No, I Can't Turn You Loose was produced in Memphis at STAX by Otis and Steve Cropper; and I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch) was produced in Detroit at MOTOWN by Holland Dozier Holland. The 2 teams were at different companies different cities, and had different philosophies in putting records together.

Blue Lion

The drum and bass reddim reminds me of Booker T and the MG's Time is tight >>>>>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbBcXvKvB08&list=RDgjgjoSsOvi4&index=3

Trent Duvall

Nothing wrong with this........

W9WY Video

Then again listen to the song Time Is Tight" (Booker T & The M.G.s)  This appears to be an instrumental of the same same!!! Or this one might be what they used as the intro at the Palace Hotel Ballroom when Jake and Elwood come out.

Joseph DiAscro III

SpiritBear12 Yes.

SpiritBear12

It's the song they played when Jake and Elwood have a car chase with the cops through the mall, but in the movie it's played faster.

BABEPATROL1974

Now this is possibly one of Otis Redding's BEST songs.Yet the only one remembered is Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay.Another good song he did was featured in the movie "Road House",when Swayze and Lynch had their "moment".I was envious of Swayze in that scene.

leegenix

+BABEPATROL1974 Otis Redding's most memorable song is his best. "Try A Little Tenderness". Many critics and myself, agree it is his best work and it is the real Otis Redding to the core. His soulful singing accompanied by the best musicians, made this song a hit to be remembered for a very long time. Some of the musicians in the background are Booker T. and the M.Gs' .

Greg Qualls

His songs are short and good.

pinkpenguin0923

the first thing i thought of was "i can't help myself" by the four tops. that riff sounds the same to me.

Franek Błahy

You only have to change it to 1.5 motion and you got the Blues Brother's movie theme
