Based on the suit, I think this is the Monterey Pop festival the year he died. The same show some of the best Janis Joplin footage is from. Where Janis and Jimi Hendrix were introduced to the world. Speaking of Jimi, there was a live album released of the Monterey Pop show. One side was Otis, the other side was Jimi. What a combo.
Jamel, I don't know how / who makes decisions about what you should hear but I know you like GENUINE live music. I have just watched some again and it is fantastic. Otis performing on Ready Steady Go, a live UK show. Amongst a number of other numbers he performs I Can't Turn You Loose. Then there is a live concert in Paris where he performs Shake. Go for it!!
His wife said he called her before he got on the plane that ended his life and told her he felt something bad was about to happen. Pasty Cline had a similar premonition before she died in a plane crash.
He stole Monterey. Packed it up and walked off with it. Watch the whole set. OMG. The Who, Jimi and Janis played. And he thefted that show right out from under them.
@@loadedorygun Yeah Ive seen the whole festival, on video that is. Yeah they weren't expecting anything like Otis. Or Jimi, the Who, Janis, Ravi, wish I'd been around, I was still in mom til right after.
This here, this right freakin' here, is why the label "soul music" is so apt. You can't listen to Otis Redding emoting like this without feeling a stirring in your very soul. As the man says, good god a'mighty.
I am 74 years old and grew up listening to music and artists like this. In my opinion and again my opinion, music back then was soulful, full of feeling, easy to listen to.
The Bee Gees wrote "To Love Somebody" for Otis to record. When Otis was tragically killed in the crash, the Bee Gees recorded it themselves and dedicated it to his memory. A great soul talent taken way too soon. This is Otis at his best. Add on: Otis wrote Aretha Franklin's hit, "Respect" The man accomplished much in his short 27 years. Wow.
This is from the Monterey Pop Festival- one of his greatest performances EVER. I’ve been waiting for your reaction to this for a Loooong time! Thanks Jamel- I’d give this a hundred thumbs-up if I could.
This was the greatest pop festival ever. The breakout performances by Otis, Janis and Jimi were flawless. I'm a Jimi Hendrix nut, and his 50 minutes at Monterey is my favorite concert set ever. It was two years before Woodstock, and there was no rain, traffic jam, or brown acid.
@@jiminut I thought it was Woodstock but have seen both films so Im probably confusing the two. My daughter watched Monterey with me aged about 12 and she loved it, especially Ravi Shanka.
@@jiminut "Don't take the brown acid, it's not poisonous man, it's just baad acid" When Jefferson Airplane came on Grace Slick said "sorry you got the bad acid, we got the blue"!
That is the definition of soul. No disrespect to Wilson Pickett, James Brown, Jackie Wilson and many others but Otis is one of a kind. You must react to 'Try a Little Tenderness'.
Otis Redding’s voice will always give you goosebumps. He was magnificent and so was his voice. He was only 26 years old when he died and he had accomplished so much; I wish we could have seen and heard that amazing talent for longer than we did. Great job; and I loved your reaction.
What a talent! Otis's legend lives on here in Macon, GA. His family carries on his legacy with the Otis Redding Foundation, helping young folks develop their musical talents. Thanks, Jamel!
I would hazard to say that anyone in the developed world with access to media over the age of 7 has heard the beginning of Green Onions. They may not know that's what it is, but they have heard it. Great jam session turned hit single.
@@shannonp1656 You can throw 'Green Onions' on the turntable at just about any party and watch people get out on the dance floor, loosen up, talk and laugh. That one and Junior Walker's 'Shotgun'.
I saw Neil Young, Finsbury Park, London in the early 1990's. Booker T & The MG's were his band. To see Steve Cropper and Donald Duck Dunn was certainly an experience. I grew up with the film The Blues Brothers but to see them in the flesh was beyond words.
NONE BETTER-Period!!! and at 69 years old I've heard all the greats. Can you imagine what we would have heard from Otis if only we had not lost him so early in his life. What a Shame he passed so young.
Otis always touches the soul of the listener. He was all voice and passion. Another great song by Otis is “I’ve Got Dreams To Remember” always brings tears to my eyes.
And to think this amazingly talented artist was only 26 when he tragically perished in that plane crash. Edit: It's a crime that when you Google "Soul Singer" Otis Redding's picture doesn't appear.
This is my kind of music, that I love!! I would hope that one day, songs like this would come back. I truly appreciate remembering when, music was really good.
Dude! I was sitting here looking at the goosebumps on my arm and then you said you had goosebumps! Otis always gives me goosebumps. I don’t like sappy love songs, but Otis brings a whole other realm.
Yes, more Otis. Can't get enough of Otis❤️one of my favorites of his are "that's how strong my love is" there are some losses that set back the music industry (and world for that matter) so much and Otis is one of those among with Freddie Mercury and some others, just think how many more great songs we could have had.
Otis Redding -- What a POWERHOUSE performer and an amazing talent. His recordings were really great, but there was NOTHING like watching him perform LIVE. I can't think of any artist that compares to him live. Gone far too soon. RIP, Otis. We still love you.
Ok I'm crying but good tears cuz mom and dad danced around our living room to this song and When A Man Loves a Woman! Dad passed at 58 almost 16 years ago. Thank you for this reaction💙
Just fantastic, one of the greatest singers ever. When he came on the radio I stopped whatever I was doing and just went to that place with him. Thanks for bringing him to a new generation. R.I.P Otis Redding.
Sam Cooke, Ray Charles, James Brown, Otis Redding. Jamel thank you thank you thank you for reacting to this performance, it's a good one, and I hope it's new! The companion to this is Otis Redding -- Try a Little Tenderness (live), it may sound familiar, but brother you ain't heard nothing yet!
Otis Redding was such a dynamic soulful singer.He did so much in his short lifetime.He did not dissappoint his audience. He traveled to so many countries giving great performances.W rote so many songs .Ran a farm and had a wife and 3 children .Died at age 26.R.I.P. Otis Redding.
And decided to take that plane just so he would not be late or miss a performance, which he never was or did. Saw his documentary. Well loved by his wife and children. He was true to his craft per Mrs. Redding
Otis Redding embodied everything soul is. His right hand man was Steve F’ing Cropper! Otis was a true gem who had the voice of a grown ass man! He was so young when he died just a few years older than me...Rest in paradise legend
Otis Redding was one of my favorite singers growing up as a child of the 60s. He sang from the soul… much like Jamel listens to great music with his own soul.
Merely one of the great live performances of the R&B/R&R era. The beauty of this same 1967 Monterey Pop Festival was that Jimi Hendrix's performance of "Wild Thing" remains one of the most shocking live performances of all time, and Janis Joplin's performance of "Ball And Chain was another of the great live performances of this era. Even to this day. Before Woodstock, this festival was the standard for live performances. RIP to three of the best who ever did it.
I am 40 years old and Mr. Otis Redding stays on my playlist to this day. Imagine being loved by somebody that exudes such passion for loving you! I think try a little tenderness might be my favorite if I HAD to name just one fav.
I was 16 when he passed. It hit the music world hard. Turning on the radio at any time of the day or night, you would hear his music and tributes to his artistry. RIP.
Otis and several others of his era had such a gift. They could reach out grab an audience by the heart and hold them in the palm of their hands. Jakie Wilson, Persey Sledge, Sam Cook and many others. This was true R&B.
Otis! Omg my favorite!! I'll tell u my friend idk if you've ever been to the Rock & roll hall of Fame, but when I was there probably ten or more yrs ago they had a peice of the plane he crashed in. I was not prepared for that. Every other display was like Springsteen's teeny tiny jeans (he was skinny!) And with Otis it's the plane he died in... I am not too proud to tell u I sat down & cried like he was my own family. I tried to just tear up a bit & walk away, but it just hit me hard hard. Here I am sitting on the floor& everyone is looking at me like I'd lost my mind...this sweet lil old lady comes up & she's like "you ok baby?" I said "he was so young..." She said "I know baby...but let me just tell u, it's beautiful to me that this young white girl is so moved by someone from my generation that she's crying on a floor" then I got up & hugged her & said " thank you" & walked away ... Mr Otis Redding has gotten me through alot of dark times. He deserved someone sitting on the floor crying for him in front if God and everyone... I owed him that respect

This was 6 months before he died. He’s only 25 here. Unbelievable talent. Such a loss.
It's tragic that he died so young.
We lost him way too soon.
His wife said he called her before he got on the plane that ended his life and told her he felt something bad was about to happen. Pasty Cline had a similar premonition before she died in a plane crash.
@@MP-fq4dd Il disait à sa femme de faire attention aux enfants,elle a été surprise,peut-être pressentait-il un drame
The world lost something incredible when it lost Otis.
He and Sam Cooke!!
@@BRO77TX Sam Cooke, yes. Got his album. His, "Bring it to me" with Lou Rawls singing background... Just greatness
Sure did. He was just about to release on the Dock of the bay before he died. He was bout to try something different to bad he died on that crash
Otis Redding is the very definition of "Soul" singer. He doesn't just sing, he SANGS!
Yes...This is facts...James Brown who...Otis is the True Godfather...Hell he's The Pharaoh of Soul....
Yes indeed
When he come on stage at Monterey,people were already leaving... heard his voice , turned around and went back to find a seat.
They could not resist the Power of the Stank!!!!
He stole Monterey. Packed it up and walked off with it. Watch the whole set. OMG. The Who, Jimi and Janis played. And he thefted that show right out from under them.

Amen. If this song don't move ya, you're dead inside.
Love Otis! This song really triggered me this morning, bringing unexpected tears. Gone far too soon...RIP.
You believe EVERY WORD Otis is singing! This is proper soul. xx
I am 74 years old and grew up listening to music and artists like this. In my opinion and again my opinion, music back then was soulful, full of feeling, easy to listen to.
Not just your opinion. Fact! ❤️
Agree-versus the putrid, sinful, vulgarity that spews out of too many artists mouth today.
@@carrieb5711 there’s a place for vulgarity. You don’t have to like it. But it ain’t sinful. No music is.
I'm 51 and I feel you. This is facts!
Amen brother to that.

Great story, and this makes complete sense!
He also wrote "Hard to Handle", later a hit for The Black Crowes.

Incredible. Just incredible
I really wish music just stayed this good...
@@Eva_la_Diva its an inside joke that if repeated might be considered poor taste. Lol
@@Eva_la_Diva no something a lot less nobel and interesting.

His performance of "Try a little tenderness" in Paris 1967... just unbelievable
Yes! Was going to recommend the same!
Otis ! That is all you have to say. Period
There will NEVER be another singer/performer like Big O. Simply the most dynamic, passionate male soul singer EVER!
Jamel, thank you for the joy...
Good God all mighty, I love you!!!
R.I.P one of the greatests🙏🏽
Otis be taking you to church.
You're into the extra special sauce now, Jamel. You listen to Otis Redding's catalogue and you will be blown away completely.
As others say Otis is the very definition of soul. Utterly peerless
What a talent!
Otis's legend lives on here in Macon, GA. His family carries on his legacy with the Otis Redding Foundation, helping young folks develop their musical talents.
Thanks, Jamel!
The backing band here is Booker T and the MGs - you should try their sone “Green Onions”
I would hazard to say that anyone in the developed world with access to media over the age of 7 has heard the beginning of Green Onions. They may not know that's what it is, but they have heard it. Great jam session turned hit single.

True American Greatness
And to think this amazingly talented artist was only 26 when he tragically perished in that plane crash. Edit: It's a crime that when you Google "Soul Singer" Otis Redding's picture doesn't appear.
Got the chills all over.....wow one of my absolute favorites
Nobody could sing a song like Otis Redding - Nobody! He left us way too soon.
this one and “these arms of mine” are straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!!! sing it otis 🎵🎶!!!
When Otis sang you saw the very soul of the man, the raw emotion and the beat of his heart.
Pure perfection, pours his soul out live performance.
Otis was such a treasure. Can get lost in his vibe anytime.
Thank you, this is my favorite song by Otis.
OTIS REDDING= TIMELESS LEGENDARY BEAUTIFUL SOUL!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Good God Almighty I Love Me Some Otis!!!!!!
Otis is the man! Nobody can bring it home like he could
This is my kind of music, that I love!! I would hope that one day, songs like this would come back. I truly appreciate remembering when, music was really good.
Unmatched! Peerless! Rest in Peace Sweet Otis.

Otis Redding a National treasure🇺🇸❤️
I LOVE Ottis ❤️❤️🌹
This video is why Otis Redding is in my Top 5 best singers ever. Damn he fit a lot of life in his short 26 years on this earth.
If you don't feel that, your not human....
OMG‼It just doesn't get any betterl‼🔥
RIP Otis Redding. ❤🕊🙏
Yes, more Otis. Can't get enough of Otis❤️one of my favorites of his are "that's how strong my love is" there are some losses that set back the music industry (and world for that matter) so much and Otis is one of those among with Freddie Mercury and some others, just think how many more great songs we could have had.
Brother Otis Redding is among the gods of Soul/R & B music.....may he R.I.P. Legendary...
This performance was from the classic Monterey Pop Festival. You should just watch Otis' full set from that show. It's an all time classic.
It is a set I can watch over and over again, have it on blu ray
Otis Redding -- What a POWERHOUSE performer and an amazing talent. His recordings were really great, but there was NOTHING like watching him perform LIVE. I can't think of any artist that compares to him live.
Gone far too soon. RIP, Otis. We still love you.
Stop! You're killing me! Al Green killed it back in da day.
Reverend AL Green blessed with a beautiful voice too so much talent came out of Motown
Back to back Greatness..
Outstanding well done sir!!! 🤠👍✌
Legendary artist taken far too young. His performance was amazing at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967. R.I.P. Otis 🎤
I can’t believe he was only 25. That voice has so much experience, so much passion. Way beyond his years.
You did exactly what you should do when you get to the part with "DO IT JUST ONE MORE TIME." What a legend.
Otis Redding's songs are one of a kind, truly to be cherished.
Ok I'm crying but good tears cuz mom and dad danced around our living room to this song and When A Man Loves a Woman! Dad passed at 58 almost 16 years ago. Thank you for this reaction💙

Otis Redding was one of my favorite singers growing up as a child of the 60s. He sang from the soul… much like Jamel listens to great music with his own soul.

I'm from Louisiana and my Mom was from Detroit, Michigan. I grew up listening to all this beautiful music. RIP Otis and Momma. 🥰

♥️♥️♥️ otis
reminds me of a scene in the movie pretty in pink when ducky was singing otis
Another reason why Ducky should have got the girl! LOL!!
Goosebumps, chills and all that goes with it listening to this man sing.
Can I hear a hallelujah? Thank you Jamel, I hadn’t heard this live before.
How wonderful was that? ♥️
One of my favorites, Otis could just move you with his voice & soul.
How about some Curtis Mayfield "Move On Up"
Tears flowing for our loss of this great talent. May he sing with the angels for their nightly concert.
This song is on my best songs of all time list, legendary. ✌️
Otis! Omg my favorite!! I'll tell u my friend idk if you've ever been to the Rock & roll hall of Fame, but when I was there probably ten or more yrs ago they had a peice of the plane he crashed in. I was not prepared for that. Every other display was like Springsteen's teeny tiny jeans (he was skinny!) And with Otis it's the plane he died in...

Mr Otis Redding has gotten me through alot of dark times. He deserved someone sitting on the floor crying for him in front if God and everyone... I owed him that respect
I think he goes into his up-tempo version of The stones 'I can't get no Satisfaction' next at Monterrey... it's an ass-kicker...!!
Keith Richards said that the way Otis did “Satisfaction” at Monterey is the way he heard it in the dream that gave him the song.
Yes right as this song ends Otis kicks the band into high gear yelling "jump again"
Amazing performance! RIP Otis
This is my favorite Otis Redding song. You need to listen to Chris Cornell sing it. He did an amazing cover.
There is none else like Otis! He sings with so much emotion and passion. I’ve Got Dreams to Remember has to be one of my favorites from him.
One of my favorites. Thanks Jamel! Try out some Little Anthony. You'll enjoy it!
Otis stole the show at this festival so much that Hendrix had to set his guitar on fire to top it!! lol. Great version jamel. ❤️❤️❤️
Like Public Enemy said, 'Who Sold the Soul?!" Because you don't hear singing like THAT anymore!!!
