Well, Johnny may be gone (from the list that is) but to honor his request
and his memory, I've gone and recorded "Try A Little Tenderness"
Anyone who cares to can hear it at http://www.ampcast.com/mitchweiss  If you
care to comment please do so directly to me, off-list.

While I was doing my research in preparing to cut this tune I found out an
interesting fact that I was not aware of.  "Tenderness" was first recorded
by Bing Crosby in 1933!  I wonder who had the vision to get Otis Redding to
do the tune, and turn it into one of my favorite soul tunes ever.
