Greetings from WCOS Internet Radio. _ _
_ [Bbm] I'm the Chancellor of Soul Mike Boone and I would like to present to you
[Fm] a masterpiece recording by two legendary giants. _

and the King of Memphis Soul, Otis [Bbm] Redding.

_ _ [Ab] Written by Jimmy Campbell, Red Conley and Harry M.
Woods.
It was originally recorded by the Ray Noble Orchestra in 1932
with Val Rosing on vocals.

_ [Ab] 31 years later after hearing Aretha Franklin's version
featured on her 1962 Columbia LP
The Tender, The Moving, The Swinging and Aretha Franklin
[Fm] Sam Cooke featured the song in his live shows for a supper club audience.
_ Including [Ab] his 1964
masterpiece live LP Sam Cooke at the Copa.
_ _ [Bbm] Sam added the song as part of a medley which included
You Send Me [Ab] and I Love You for Sentimental Reasons.
_ _ [Bbm] The Copa LP was Otis Redding's favorite album since [Fm] Sam was his idol.
He reportedly played the album so much
he wore [Bbm] the grooves out. _ _ _
[Fm] To attract the crossover audience, Redding decided to record the [Ab] song. _
[Bb] Inspired by Cooke's medley on the Copa album, he decided to [Eb] record
Sam's version of the song.
_ [Ab] _ _ Now I would like to present to you two different recordings
of one classic standard by two giants of soul.
