  1. Try a Little Tenderness

    1966 · Volt

    Ranked No. 4 in Soul

    A 1932 ballad taken slowly for two minutes and then dismantled. Redding's final minute is the single best argument that soul is a technique for controlling release, not for avoiding it.

  2. Try a Little Tenderness

    1966 · Volt

    Picked by The Waxonia Desk — The Hundred

    Two minutes of restraint and then the roof comes off. The best available argument that soul is a technique for controlling release rather than avoiding it.
