Hard To Handle - Otis Redding (1968) Video - I'm not going to repeat what I said about Otis Redding's perpetual genius and untimely death in my post about the 25 songs that just missed my top 100, including his Nobody's Fault But Mine, but please check it out if you missed it. Just know this, a very respectably successful rock band, The Black Crowes, launched a career out of covering this song and adding nothing.

The bad part - most people think they wrote the song.

The worst part - Otis' recording came out after his death.
