Pure Gold.

Compassionate. Soulful.

If Otis was the only artist I could listen to for the rest of my life I wouldn’t be mad

The greatest singer I hear..love that soulbrother❤❤

It doesn’t get any better than Otis. Soul just pours out of his pores. We need him today.

Such passion. Amazing talent. Miss him 😢

King of Soul!!!!!!

One of the Best Original Singers.

You are do wise with your words. Otis is a beautiful soul. I've been listening to this song for 50 years. I tear up every time. His music is so magical. Thank you for sharing..🦋🌼

this is how you deliver a vocal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The greatest that ever lived.

Baby girl you listen to the GOAT greatest of all time soul singer

Otis Redding. Fantastic. Apollo theater1966. Detroit. My dad took me. .

The Otis song that got us back in the day was "Try a little tenderness," please give us some more Otis reactions.

The best. At 74, I'm still loving it.

Love that you appreciate some of the older music where you had to sing unadorned and the musicians actually had to play their instruments LIVE on stage. Raw and beautiful!

I love both of these songs.. Keep up these treasures..

I was at this show in Monterey in ‘67. I stood right below him in front of the elevated stage. I was 16. I’ll never forget beautiful Otis. Janis Joplin , who was also there, said she was forever transformed and that he completely influenced her singing style.

So amazing that he was only 26 when he died later that same year.

Classic voice💙x

I haven’t listened to this in years, decades even. Thanks for reminding me.

I love The Happy Song by Otis

Nailed it loved it loved it love you reaction big smile✌💪🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

Can't go wrong with a Otis Redding song!!

This song just oozes soul. Otis was the man That “Good God almighty I love ya” part just kills me every time

Otis will make you bawl, throw chair and maybe the table....lolol. Soul singer is being thrown around loose, just like Diva...this is soul music.

Yes!Yes!Yes!...oooomyyyy :)

As a 17 year old white boy, crying at the news that Otis was dead, was only the second time I shed a tear at a music loss, the first was when Buddy Holly died. Please Lizzie react to "Try a Little Tenderness."

In my opinion, greatest artist ever Reminds me of good times. My mom taught me how to dance in our living room to otis. It was her favorite and she passed that down.

Yes play remember me and you don't miss your water you wont go wrong also he got a song call mary little lamb a lot of people havent heard or remerber these songs by otis redding🤗

I saw Otis a few days before he died in Cleveland. He was the man RIP.

OMG Liz! You hit two home runs today. This song is sooo gorgeous. I closed my eyes and I was back in ‘67. Thanks so much love!! 😊💐

This is from The Monterey Pop Festival 67'.... a true classic for the ages ✌😎

Otis is the only artist who can give me goosebumps!!

Otis was so good 👍

Magnifique♥️♥️♥️

I'm glad you reacted to Otis. He's one of my soul heroes. You should listen to Cigarettes and Coffee, and Champagne and Wine

Yes.. yes.. yes... come on now..👍

Security is a great song by Otis!

Any of these old songs that you find from the old soul train show is jus gold keep up the great work 👍

This one brings me to tears everytime. Still can't reconcile that he was taken so young, but we have his legacy. This is a good companion piece with Lorraine Ellison's 'Stay with me' with regard to raw emotion. Thank you for posting.

My go to love making music❤️❤️

Otis - these arms of mine

I wish i can give all these comments a thousand thumbs up because i know what kind of hart yall have if yall love otis🤗

grandfather, Otis Redding and Canadian mist equals a 90s southern boys childhood

Please ! Please! I so Remember this!

Your dad and mine. Will always love him for turning me on to Otis Redding. Watch Otis on Ready, Steady Go.

You gotta react to Otis Redding "I've got dreams to remember, These arms of mine, Cigarettes and Coffee"

It's nice to see.a great artist recognized across generations.

Otis wasn't supposed to make a record with STAX Records in Memphis at all from the beginning. His buddy was the one who orginally was supposed to record. In between the takes Otis stepped forward to a microphone and began singing an own written song called These Arms of Mine. The staff at STAX got super exited and asked the guy in the control room like "please tell me you got this on tape!!" He did get it on tape! That's how Otis' short but very intensive career and during the years he was performing he was known as Mr 100 %. He always gave his all regardless if it was in the studio or on stage.

You always look so gorgeous in your videos

One of my all time faves!

Great Reaction, yet again... You were raised on the best music of all time! If you haven't already, check out a couple of my favorite of all of Otis' songs, notwithstanding his Christmas stuff. Check out "Open the Door" and "Groovin' Time." He was like no one I've ever heard, then or since! Thank you for your honest reactions.

All u have to say is Otis and people know it is fire. His soulful voice is unchallenged if he sings it u feel it thanks for another cool reaction

i WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO SEE OTIS DO THIS SONG IN MONTEREY AT THE FIRST POP FESTIVAL.

You put a Mic in front of this Guy , he gave you the Magic , a Legend

Yes!!! Otis is a legend" he also sings my favorite sitting on the Dock of the Bay"such a classic,and a legendary voice yes this is Otis Redding" thank you hippie love you!!!❤ 🥰✌💋❤💕💓💋❤💕💓💋❤💕💓💋💖💕

Check out Otis doing Dreams to remember.

This was from Monterey Pop 1967, arguably the first (although not as Huuuuge as Woodstock 2 years later) “Rockfestival.” He said “so you’re the Peace and Love crowd, right?” It was a real moment.

This was done in 1967 at Monterey, Ca., for Three Days on June 16th, 17th, and 18th. The name of the Festival is Monterey Pop and it was the biggest Musical Festivals until Woodstock. It was organized by John Phillips (RIP), of The Mamas & The Papas. Besides them, Sam & Dave, Simon & Garfunkel, The Who also appeared on The Show. Yet the highlight was when a Young Guitar Player who once worked with The Isley Brothers and Little Richard went to The Microphone and said "Hey Man You've Heard The Last Of Surfing Music!" The Beach Boys were supposed to perform but Brian Wilson said no, and Brian Jones of The Rolling Stones wanted to perform but he couldn't get a Visa for a Passport becaues of his Drug Conviction. Otis recorded for Stax Records and also Wrote "Respect" which of course became Aretha Franklin's First Number One Hit. HIs Songs have been featured in Movies like Catholic Boys, Cousins, and Dirty Dancing. Sadly he would die in a Plane Crash in 1967. He also bought the house down in England. If you can check out Ready Steady Go. Also this was a poignant time because alot of Young Men were being sent to Vietnam. It as 180% from Motown.

Otis taken from us to early. When I was dating as a teenager he was one you had to play on that date.

Jimmy Summerville-small town boy live Jay and the americans Cara Mia, 60's and later live when he is older-still got it

HEY OTIS!

that's a mood setter hard not to feel some type a way good work girl!

Wonderful as always, Liz. Thanks for posting, I can feel the love and emotion.

Steve Cropper on guitar. Stax studio musician. On lots of soul. Booker T and the MGs.

That was the Memphis Sound, The Stax Records sound, and the backing band is Booker T and the MGs. Check out Sam and Dave."You Don't Know Like I Know" and buy the DVD of The Stax Story, about one of the major Soul and R&B label. Great reaction, you are honest and likable. Also, more Dionne! Do "Don't Make Me Over", live 1963. Thank you. BTW, this was recorded at Monterey Pop Festival, 1967.

Stylish ❤️ GOAT 4 Ever !!!!

Otis! Man! The artist knew how to perform with soul back then. You don’t need 50 back up dancers if you feel what you are performing. Great reaction

Hey Liz new subscriber looking forward to checking out your reactions you're super pretty and I would like to take you out to dinner. Lol one of my favorite songs ever RIP Otis. Have a great day ✌🙏✌🙏

He probably thought, “what’s the point of being the star and headliner of the show, if I can’t have some fun on this stage if I want to?”

I have never seen this performance. Thank you for introducing this to me. This is amazing.

it's actually a 50's progressiobn but OTIS wrote his own songs & was the greatest singer ever.

My man Otis !. Now we're getting into some Serious Soul. Right on !. Rock on !.

This is the Monterey pop festival in Monterey CA. June of 1967.

Otis Redding songs to listen to: Hard to Handle; Respect; Tramp; These Arms of Mine; That's How Strong My Love Is; Try A Little Tenderness and, of course, (Stittin' On) The Dock of the Bay, the finished version of which he never got to hear.

Great soul music . I could listen to Otis all day long

He had an amazing career ahead of him but a plane crash cut it tragically short. One of the top five soul singers of all time.

So funny you tell that story about the tape and hearing him at the end. My mom used to play his live in Europe rape in the car all the time as a kid and that part always just blew me away, even at like 7 years old

Awesome, Otis Was the hardest working man in show biz. Since you love crooners you should give Stray , Notting hill blues or Over my head by Aztec Camera ( Roddy Frame) a shot, will get you weak in the knees. Tears for Fears Woman in chains, Sowing the seeds of love highly recommended.

Great voice and what a performer!

You gotta listen to Mayer Hawthorne singing The Walk!

Tom Jones covered this song and it was one of his biggest hits. There is a video on youtube. He is probably the only singer who can do justice to this song.

You've got to check out Otis Reddings rendition ot "Try a little tenderness."

Otis Redding back in the day!Artist like him and so many others giving a emotional raw performance! Doing his way ! Love it ! Otis was all in ! 🔥 so much respect for him! Nothing to hide behind! Great reaction ! Thank you Liz For continuing to bring phenomenal music ! These moments in time are priceless ❤️👌 Can’t wait for the next one !😉👍🏻

Another fabulous reaction to a superbly performed song. Wonderfully done! Here's to your next reaction. 🙏🙂❤️

I use to love to play otis when me and my ex use to go to bed she got hip because i use to play otis when we was in bed and one night i was getting ready to play his music after we went to bed she said hell no you and otis not sleeping with me tonight if you get my drift lol😅

this song was the love song in the movie with patrick swaze called roadhouse. this wasrnt that rap crap. these guys had talent

Check out “Pain In My Heart” by Otis.

Oh yes Lizzie also Sitting on the Dock of the Bay. Beautiful soul.

Lizzie. My favourite song by Otis is Sitting on the Dock of the Bay. Give it a listen Sweetheart. I reckon that you will love it 💯 💖.

Damn girl ! that’s our song....Thank you beautiful .❤️

After this performance at the Monterey Pop Festival in June 1967 to a predominately white audience the "underground" rock stations around the country added Otis to the playlists. He was that influential.

My favorite Otis tune is Cigarettes And Coffee. A couple is sitting around a kitchen table having cigarettes and coffee at 3 A.M. And your not sure if they just finished making love or were getting ready to.

This was one of Otis' last performances, and perhaps, his best version of this song. Interestingly enough, this performance, from The 1967 Monterey Pop Festival had three seminal performances. This from Otis, Jimi Hendrix doing "Wild Thing" (which you'll never be able to post a reaction to) and Janis Joplin doing "Ball And Chain". Otis died in 1967 at 26, Jimi died at 27 in September 1970, and Janis died at 27 in October 1970.

I am English, my brother is 4 years older. I grew up to this. Nobody but nobody has ever attained this level of perfection. Bar none. I actually cried when he died. I was English, 16 years old, white as you possibly could be. I have every track he recorded. Otis was the best and i believe still is. Otis is the level, nobody has yet got anywhere near!

Love Otis..can you react Try Me when it was James Brown and the famous flames? Also, your precious love by Jerry Butler and the Impressions.

I’m fairly certain that this performance is from his set at the Monterrey International Pop Festival. I used to have an album that had Otis’s set on side 1 and The Jimi Hendrix Experience (Jimi with Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell) on side 2. It was fantastic.

What an amazing live performance! While "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay" is my favorite, "I've been Loving You Too Long" and "Try a Little Tenderness" are absolutely brilliant!
