Now this brings back memories. The first records I owned, when I was, I dunno, 6 or 7, were a few 45s that my brothers handed down to me: Troglodyte by the Jimmy Castor Bunch, Tin Man by the Doobie Brothers, Sister Mary Elephant by Cheech & Chong, Frankenstein by the Edgar Winter Group and Lady by Styx.
Otis Redding: "Try a Little Tenderness" Actually listening to the whole 60 track "Pure Southern Soul" box, which I'll admit has some dull moments for me, but Otis Redding's good stuff is so, so good.
