SUPER GREAT!!! Thanx RP! 



This is so weird. Bull Durham was on last night.
If you know the movie, you know what I'm talking about.

Such Commitment!
I Tried to give an 11, but it didn“t work. So this is a 10 for this great cover track that made the song his own!

Uh. I already rated this - a 9- and I'll stand on this. With that title. I was expected something else, but here I am, happy.
Mozart's a tough act to follow but put the Monterey version up here and I'll give it a "10". Of all I've heard, only he and Janis Joplin put everything they had into their performances. He was a force of nature in that performance.

50 years this week since his passing. Sad, sad...yet we can still experience his amazing performances and voice. Thanks again RP !

Brilliant song. One of the greatest soul+ singers ever. I still prefer Otis' Live at Monterey performance over this studio version, but still...
well that's exactly what I was gonna say! plus, 1967 was a bit before my time; oh how I wish I was there when this was filmed! and thanks to 1) a sober person at the festival who could film stuff and 2) youtube, etc., being available so us post 60s folk can watch it!
Copy 'n' paste - don;t know why I can't insert a link:

I remember 3 Dog Night doing this song really well
Great Commitments cover
Always have to look and see if it is Paolo Nutini or Otis!
Remarkable

Paul Giamatti did this one pretty well in the movie 'Duets', a silly movie about competitive karoke.
This is a GREAT song .. and it being featured in "Pretty In Pink" always makes me smile.

My favorite song from the best soul vocalist of his generation. Sorry Marvin.
