Strong votes for Try A Little Tenderness – the Otis Redding rendition. There have been other versions. Three Dog Night’s is a good one but doesn’t have the soul of Otis’s.
We suggest you listen (a couple times!) to Waterloo Sunset by the Kinks.
His hundreds of songs have been narrowed down, at this point, to two: “I Want You” and “Positively Fourth Street”. Do others belong on this list?
We have a vote for the best ABBA song of all time – “Our Last Summer”. Thumbs up? Better suggestion?
We have two candidates for best Steely Dan song: “Kid Charlemagne” and “My Old School”. Thoughts?
