Lots to love in the ten's. The Go-Go's, Shack, John Waite, Caro Emerald, the Headstones, Doobies, and Billy Joel all stood out for me.

I didnt even lose my rag, just posted a “funny”

JML Rank - #21
Krista4 Rank - #9 to 14
Uruk-Hai Rank - #4
Album - King & Queen
Recorded - 1967
Is this a Cover? - Yes
Songwriter - Lowell Fulson, Jimmy McCracklin
Notable Covers - Steve Miller Band, ZZ Top, Buddy Guy, Salt N Pepa,
Comments - I know some of the lyrics are different to the original, but knowing this is a cover detracts from the song for me. The back and forth is electric and seems so genuine. Best track from the King and Queen album
In Dynamic Duets: The Best Pop Collaborations from 1955 to 1999, author Bob Leszczak describes their rendition:
Otis and Carla gave "Tramp" their own stamp. They exchange quite a bit of dialogue between them in the song, with Carla putting Otis down because he doesn't wear fine clothes and is in dire need of a haircut ... She's obviously a gold digger and laments that he couldn't afford to buy her fine furs and cool cars. She repeatedly calls him a "tramp" from the Georgia woods ... Otis Redding was born, like "Tramp" says, in the Georgia woods in 1941.
Edit: I don't know why the links didn't copy over.

Next Up - The top 10 are half originals, half covers. First up, a cover.
I think this song is hilarious. Never get tired of it. That drum sounds like M-80s going off.
It's kind of true to life, too. Carla was Memphis royalty. Her dad, Rufus, was one of the most important figures in the musical development of that town - DJ, producer, talent scout, performer (he had a million hits), all-around impresario. Carla herself was having hits before anyone knew who Redding was.
I know i was the outlier n this one. Guess i should have listened to the original to see how fifferent the Otis and Carla take was, but only so much time before submitting a list. The back and forth is wonderful here. Otis with his ego in full check and taking it like a man.

On an interesting note, during my suspension there happened to be a vinyl record fair the other day.
I happened to pick up
The English Beat - Special Beat Service LP
Bad English - S/T
A Neil Diamond Greatest Hits
Smashing Pumpkins - Adore
Otis Redding - The History of Otis Redding
And another 20 non MAD R5 vinyl albums, about 50 7” and 12” singles, 5 CDs and 3 sheetbooks of music

Was hoping this one would make it. It was a relatively unsuccessful single, but a damn great song
As much as I like Rolands voice would be interesting to hear a more traditional vocalist do a torch rendition of this for comparisons sake.

JML Rank - #5
Krista4 Rank - #15 to 21
Uruk-Hai Rank - #15
Album - The Soul Album
Recorded - 1966
Is this a Cover? - Yes (Original by Al Braggs)
Songwriter - Eddie Thomas, Jay Walker, and Jerry Butler
Notable Covers - Buddy Miles Express, Jerry Garcia Band, Etta James, Brian McFadden
Comments - From songfacts “ Jerry Butler, a popular singer who had hits with "Make It Easy on Yourself" and "Are You Happy," wrote this song but didn't record it. The original version was by Al "TNT" Braggs in 1961. His version got little attention, but five years later Otis Redding popularized the song when he included it on his third album, titled The Soul Album.”
Used in the Pilot episode of How I Met Your Mother when Robin took Ted back to her flat.
Next Up - i’m not usually the begging type, but I am going to ask people to please check the youtube version of our #9. It is the only such version of this song I deem worthy of my #2 overall pick. if it was based on all other versions, we would have seen this song already as Krista had it much lower, although Uruk hit a bingo with his ranking

I love the youtube video. For the first half, he's pitchforking hay and riding mules backwards in overalls. In the second half, he's got a tailored suit on with money spilling out of his pockets, showing off his cars, and pointing to all of his business venturesIf only I listened to myself. Still, I lost my cherry and I didnt rat on nobody

I wish Carla had been in the video.

I think it was Butler who also gave Redding the idea to write "Respect".#10 - Otis Redding - Cigarettes and Coffee

Anyway....... even though he didn't write it, this is an "Otis" record.

10. Restless Heart (No Brakes, 1984)
You John Waite
s will have to forgive me for skipping the other single from this album, Tears, written by future KISS member Vinnie Vincent and originally recorded by former KISS member Peter Criss; despite it reaching #8 on the charts, it never did anything for me. Restless Heart, on the other hand, may be my favorite John Waite song. It was originally going to be a Babys song and appear on the Head First album, but it didn't make the cut, so John saved it for a rainy day. Even though the song wasn't released as a single, there was a video that made the rounds on MTV for a bit.
