Otis Redding - Papas Got a Brand New Bag Live

[Buckeyecat2002]

I still have the original LP.

[PASTORKable]

thats correct on studio band and memphis horns or markey both guy did this up james and otis. funky

[cryingeyes100]

Otis put his foot in this song! He just let James Brown know that he got some funky soul in his heart too!

[lonlywolfish]

His voice is away better than james brown! still james is one the kings !

[littlenaitch2]

@lonlywolfish One of the kings? Even Otis bows to him. JB is THE KING.

[lonlywolfish]

@littlenaitch2 What are you talking about ? do u compare otis's voice to james brown's voice? u need to do a check up !

[dhoward75]

@lonlywolfish don't worry I got this one.

[dhoward75]

@littlenaitch2 They both are from the same state at least, however they were similar in soul power. James Brown was clearly the better dancer , I'm a fan of both of them so I'm not choosing sides .

[helo86]

This is for @VedderState. He stated Otis was imitating James. I disagree. Otis had his own unique style of singing. He was one of a kind. You CAN'T compare the two. It's like trying to compare Fred Astaire & Gene Kelly. Both were fantastic. However, their styles of dancing were different.

[helo86]

Otis could do it all. James had The JB's, but Otis had the Markays!

[gmandofgod]

@helo86 Actually in the 60's, his band was known as the James Brown orchestra.

[tomthefunky]

@helo86 Otis's studio band were Booker T and The MG's. The horn section were the Mar-keys. They later called themselves The Memphis Horns.

[tomthefunky]

@19CACTUS51 The Bar-Kays backed up Otis only briefly and that was on the road. They never recorded one song with Otis in his career. Not one. As for the Mar-key's horn section, they kept the name when the original band disbanded. Don was in the original band. They released albums under that name for the rest of the 60's. They changed their name to the Memphis Horns sometime in the early 70's. The core players were Andrew Love and Wayne Jackson. Wayne was in the original Mar-Key's.

@19CACTUS51 What I said is absolutely true. It's what you are saying that I'm having trouble understanding. What or who is "Staname"?

Also, Booker T and The MG's backed up Otis at Monterey. Watch the film. Duck, Steve Cropper and Al Jackson are clearly visible playing behind Otis. And I can say with certainty who played on what regarding Stax Records. I'm a superfan. My knowledge about about the company and the players is extensive. I could write a book on it.

[gmandofgod]

James Brown sung it also?? James Brown wrote it and won a grammy for it in 1965.

[VedderState]

@gmandofgod I like Otis's version better so maybe that is how it was meant.

[gmandofgod]

@VedderState Otis is immitating James on this song, and his band is immitating the James Brown orchestra, so how can you like it better?

[VedderState]

@gmandofgod I just like Otis' singing better...I hear ya on the imitating, but I see Otis being incredibly respectful, well as they all were back in the day.

[lenluvpat]

[lenluvpat]

[littlenaitch2]

[Floydalbert]

Baby I Love This Cut. You Make Me Feel So Good SHIRLEY!!!!

"Come to Pappa"

[tushansoulboy]

I never really rated Otis until I heard this.

[GurBurkEm]
