@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.

@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.

@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 .

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

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