  • :D love this song :)

  • the Original Soul man he is the reason i rap thank God for Otis Redding one of the best voices ever!!

  • PRETTY IN PINK!

  • I remember my dad singing Otis's songs to my mom :D ol' good times...

  • 3:25 Damn you Kanye West & Jay-Z!

  • it happens all the time. I'm sure this generation will be saying the same thing in 30 years about how Jay and Kanye made good music and criticize the current crop of music.

  • jay-z and kanye shouldn't have brought you here............... cause now you are never going back there again

    ENJOY THE REAL MUSIC PEOPLE :-)

  • I love Otis, not even the Kanye/ Jay z version can top this one, this just has so much soul, Otis was a talent among st people, love this kind of music it can give you chills and make you cry and dance in a bit, Just Love it!

  • @DASfilms soul music <3

  • is their really a reason to diss Kanye or Jay-Z? because of those two people kids my age/younger that never heard Otis are now exposed to him. If anything they did good cause now people my age/younger are exposed to a new branch of REAL music and REAL R&B.

  • this song moves. and i gotta say, kanye made a murderous beat from it. two sides of music and they both carry hard. long live otis, long live jay, and long live yeezy.

  • I wish more guys would understand this. Its so true. x C'mon now fellas♥

  • @Dakdizzy I thought I was the only one that 'gobbled' at that picture.

  • ducky in pretty in pink ;) haha

  • Otis Redding brought me here.

  • the 2 fuckers that dislike this need a little tenderness

  • I grew up listening to Otis Redding.

  • Jay Z and Kanye couldn't bring me the morning paper..

  • @tmhjahusa as much of a jay z and kanye fan i am, i laughed really hard at that

  • @Wgivens93 A sense of humor is a good thing....

  • @tmhjahusa - lol...love it!

  • First time i heard this song was in the breakfast club!

  • I loved seeing this in Shrek  :)

  • I love OTIS!!!!!!!

  • thumbs up if chris brown brought u here

  • Of course, I adore this song. So much so, that I wish the fade out was s-l-o-w-e-r.

  • I'm glad I knew this song long before Jay-Z and Kanye did their thing. To be fair, though, despite growing up with Stevie and Ray and the Temps and Tops, the first time I heard this song was in "The Breakfast Club." Sad, I know.

  • yall know most of yall came here because Z & K,didn't know nuttin bout this song until they put it in the lights!

  • Who cares what brought you here - as long as you are here - Otis gives me goose bumps

  • actually "Pretty in Pink", my memory of my boyfriend singing this song to ask me out for the first time, and my love of Otis brought me here <3

  • im going to be honest i would not have known of otis redding without jay-s but i like both songs for different reasons... soul music

  • gave me chills hearing this song....he has a great voice

  • Who cares whether or not it was Jay Z and Kanye who brought people here? I didn't know about this music without their cover, and I'm thankful that I now know and can do some more exploring! Thank you Kanye and Jay Z for doing an interpretation on a great artist!

  • Thumbs up for DINOSAUR HOLOCAUST!

  • @JivemasterJ lol..awww that just makes me sad!!

  • @inb4deth sorry, wrong video...

  • Comment removed

  • Thumbs up if your gay!

  • thumbs up if it doesn't matter who or what brought you here, but the fact that you love good music.

  • the movie pretty in pink brought me here.. fuck jay z and kayne

  • We need a national 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's 90's month.....Each month celebrate!!

  • Does it matter who/what brought people here? Otis Redding is amazing. It doesn't matter what got us here because his talent is the reason we stayed.

  • I can't dance, but whenever I hear this I just have to move or jump like crazy. I look as if I'm having a seizure. Otis will do that to you.

  • oh calm down... if kanye and jay z brought people here we should all be glad that this music is being shared with people who don't know it because it's truly great!

  • @dumbshitblog You're so damn right! Didn't knew this before Watch The Thrown but I'm happy that i found it! It's only a good thing for the younger generation who loves music :)

  • pretty in pink brought me here not jay-z and knaye west .

  • Duckie brought me here, LOL!

  • @scisci270 & they didn't bring me here.

    Donkey did can you read?

  • This is what you call soul music

  • OTIS REDDING--from the Rich GEORGIA RED CLAY

  • Hearing Chris Brown sing this song on This Christmas brought me here :)

  • OTIS!!!!!

  • watching Pretty In Pink brought me here

  • Like if you got this from Donkey in Shrek 1

  • To think I've been wasting my time listening to Jay and Kanye when I could have been blasting the O.G. Which is like a billion fucking times better.

  • One can like both Otis Redding and Kayne West. Trust me. Because I do. It does not matter how one finds out about classic music, as long as they do. No matter, which comes first, fantastic music is still involved.

  • @StudioSkyward This is why Nujabes is so great. Not only is his music phenomenal, but it coaxes its listeners to seek out samples used for more great music.

  • its crazy how they sampled it lol

  • Otis!!!!!!!!!!!! ♥♥♥

  • Kanye and Jay-Z sampling this angers me. My teenage niece had no idea what I was talking about when I said they ruined a classic so I had to bring her here.

  • the world lost one of the best singer of all times...... rest in peace man

  • Everyone here for the sample, I'll save you some time. 2:45.

  • @Cavintine

    Sorry im not here for the sample im here for the ORIGINAL!

  • sounds so soulful don't you agree

  • He Died Too Young...

  • i'm about to overdose myself on otis, the real otis!

  • @scisci270 Right, Donkey did.

  • @GabbiBabbixD I said if Jay Z or Kanye DIDNT bring you here. Cant you read?

  • this song was on that movie this christmas

  • thumbs up if jay z n kanye brought you here!!!!

  • @chhs2010 Thumbs down if Kanye and Jay-Z brought you here. Its fine if they did, but you will receive no credit for that. Learn about music for enjoyment, not gratification in knowing the roots of the hook on a rap song

  • broman 0282, of course!!!! this is a classic! And i congratulate you on being aware of an American classic soul song. There are alot more out there.

  • heard on pretty and pink way before otis came out

  • I'M JUST GONNA PUT IT OUT HERE, HOW MANY PEOPLE KNEW THIS SONG AND LISTEN TO IT BEFORE JAY-Z AND KANYE SAMPLED IT? I DID CUZ I GOT MY DAD THE OTIS REDDING GREATEST HITS CD FOR HIS BIRTHDAY BACK IN 1998 THIS, SITTING ON THE DOCK OF THE BAY AND MR PITIFUL WERE MY FAVORITES FROM THAT CD

  • @BroMan0282  who cares

  • @rob38258 i do. I am however thankful that his music is being spread around. whether from donkey in shrek or jay-z and kanye west the fact that his music is being recognised by a younger generation is great! I think that however your introduced to one of the greats as long as you recognise that it is nothing short of a masterpiece and can appreciate it for what it is than that is an amasing thing and should be celebrated!

  • sex and the city s05e01 brought me here

  • Thumbs up if Jay Z and Kanye DIDNT bring you here.

  • @scisci270 It doesn't matter...the important thing is people are here

  • @ssun8 Some are here because of the wrong reasons.

  • @scisci270 they have something to do with this song??

  • @scisci270 the ONLY time i've ever thumbed up a "thumbs up whore"... no hate tho!

  • @inb4deth LOL funny how this is the only thumbs up ive ever done. That doesnt really make me a whore. ;)

  • @scisci270 I was listening to Etta James' version and it brought me here :)

  • or maybe..2011 = dead musix

    just try a little tenderness

  • 2011 = dead REAL music?

  • REAL MUSIC

  • prave dame će razumjet

    prave kurvetine i zlatna mladež neće

  • hey

  • otis is the man

  • To be honest with everyone. Kayne West and Jay-Z messed up a classic, and turned it in straight Hip-Hop. I started to become a fan when I listened to this when Chris Brown did his version on the This Christmas

  • This song should teach all the boys I know how to treat a lady.

  • thats true they should of left the song alone as a artist myself i wouldnt disrespect and mess with this song

  • You got to love this.

  • jayz and kanye messed up a great classic song! they should of let the song live on its own

  • I first listen to Otis Redding when my stepdad play his greatest hits in the car, after seeing the movie "American Gangster"..after about three songs I just fell in love with his music. I was about 16, I was into so much into ol'skool I wanna be apart it. I rap but mostly soul and from the heart music. Right now not too long ago had a downfall but i still wanna write and make music. I'm trying my best to write but it's not coming out right nowadays..I don't wanna give it up..he's a inspiration..

  • @DevinDivine1, thats just terrific

  • i get tired of seein jayz kanye bull on this otis started it... without him it wouldnt be no watch the throne

  • Please, young people look, search and find where it all started!!!! Otis Redding died in the seat, frozen, where he sat on that plane. Give all music a try, his music as well as others should be in the billions!! Listen to the, "Old Music" and hear where they got the, "New Music", from!!!! Me, I'm in my twenties and I know where the greatest, Big Poppa, got a lot of his songs... The Jackson Five old songs!!! Just the beats, but isn't that what makes the music?!!!!!RIP BIGGIE!!!!!

  • jay z and kanye west brought me here.

  • @jackster79ohk knowing who otis redding is brought me here

  • try a little tenderness :)

  • i just want to say that.....this is really that shit! it is si on point on all levels. classic, love, the meaning, the instruments, he hit the notes i mean goodness!

  • watch the throne !

  • everybody needs to get off kanye and j's dicks. that song they did with this is horrible! stop killing good music!

  • @misofani1 Your Right But Nobody Says That When People Sample All Them Other Songs And If U Really Love Music Which Im Not Sayin U Do U Would Like It A Little Its Not Like They Dragged His Name Through The Dirt And Plus Becuz That Song Came Out It Makes The Original More Famous Cause People Want To Hear The Original Song To See How They Sampled It. U Need To Think

  • MACON, GA GREATEST JAY AN YAY SHOULD HAVE SHOT DA VIDEO IN MACON AT HIS STATUE

  • Duckie sang this song best in pretty in pink lmao lovee it <3

  • Very good Quality!

    

  • Who are here for Otis - JayZ ft. Kanye West song?

  • @Arturokresh horrible song. absolutely horrible. they keep cuttin off my man ottis. beat sux. lyrics are ass. to all the nigs out there now in the rap game. stop killin good music.

  • @misofani1 Maybe you dislike hip hop songs, but for this you sould respect this music movement. I love Hip Hop, and I like Ottis :)

  • @Arturokresh Fuck Jayz and Kanye man no disrespect to you though, but I listened to Otis before they made that whack ass song

  • @91Definite It's in the beat, and i got enough knowledge to know that in these beat be Otis. Man, I love american raps, but i love too soul and blues...

  • @Arturokresh I understand but they didn't really try making it lyrically, when you use a sample like Otis you should really take time and think whatchu wanna talk about especially with soul..

  • @Arturokresh nice grammar

  • @sportzplayer7007 mmm I don't know how to interpret this... :/ Excuse me, i'm spanish & i'm learning to speak english :) You can't order an apple to a banana's tree.
