The Life of a Song: Try A Little Tenderness

Life of a Song podcast

Each week we bring you the story of a song, from its origins and early recordings through cover versions good and bad. Each episode is written and presented by an FT music critic or contributor. Formerly called FT Arts.

Amy Walker on how a saccharine love song was transformed by Otis Redding into a provocative and impassioned soul classic.
