Title: Favorite Otis Redding Tune?

This can include any of his covers as well.

For me it's a tie between Sittin' On The Dock of the Bay and Cigarettes and Coffee.

Personally, there isn't a bad Otis song. 8-)

And I love the Otis and Karla Thomas duets on "King and Queen"

"Shake"

I think I read some place that Keith said that Otis version of Satisfaction, with the inclusion of horns, was closer to what he wanted for the song.

I'll go with "I Can't Turn You Loose".
