My Girl
Otis Redding Lyrics
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
And it's cold outside
I've got the month of May
Oh, I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
It's my girl
Talkin' 'bout my girl
I've got so much loving the bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song that I can sing
Oh, I guess you will say
Ooh, what can make me feel this way?
It's my girl
Talkin' 'bout my girl
Ooh, ooh
Hey-hey-hey
Hey-hey-hey
Ooh, yeah
I don't need no money
All I need is my babe
I've got all the riches, baby, one big man can claim
Oh, I guess you'd say
Ooh, what can make you feel this way?
My girl
Talkin' 'bout my girl
Ooh, I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
With my girl
Even got the month of May
With my-my-my-my-my-my girl
Talkin' bout, talkin' bout, talkin' bout, ooh

Robinson's inspiration for writing this song was his wife, Miracles member Claudette Rogers Robinson. The song was included on the Temptations 1965 album The Temptations Sing Smokey. In 2018, it was selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or artistically significant."
In 1965, Otis Redding brought a traditional blues flavor to the song. Produced by Steve Cropper, it was released on Redding's album Otis Blue: Otis Redding Sings Soul. His version was not released as a single in the US, but Atlantic issued it in the UK to capitalize on the relative lack of success by the Temptations' original version, and Redding's cover eventually peaked at number 11.

And it's cold outside, I've got the month of May

Best version. By leagues. You can absolutely feel it in your soul when you hear old Otis. True master at his craft.
Barclay Fleming
Absolutely.In fact I slightly disagree.It's the only version.Oh man that voice.Nobody before or since comes anywhere near Otis.I've got to give Steve Winwood a mention but Otis.Sleep well man.
