“Try A Little Tenderness” is a soul/R&B song originally written by Jimmy Campbell, Reg Connelly, and Harry M. Woods in 1932. However, it was Otis Redding’s iconic 1966 recording that brought the song to prominence. The track was included in Redding’s album “Complete & Unbelievable: The Otis Redding Dictionary of Soul”. The song has been covered numerous times by various artists and has been featured in several films and television shows. Otis Redding’s emotive and powerful delivery in “Try A Little Tenderness” cements it as a timeless classic in the realm of soul music.
