It's a "shaggy" dress?  Oh shit!  All these years I thought his was a "shabby" dress!  (3DN's was a "funky" dress.)


I believe the orig lyric is "shabby", and that Otis mondegreened it.

WOS Persuaders. I have always found this song borderline awful. Don't cross yo' woman, she may try to keel you. Yeesh.

Two of my favorite bands ever were on Atlantic, but I'm okay that we'll not be hearing from them this day.  Pretty great stuff so far...

Didn't that sound like Al Kooper on the piano on that Otis tune?  Reminded me of some old Dylan song, but I can't think which one with this "Thin Line" song on.  A plenty weird song, I'd have to say.

so far, the only remake i can't place is the spinners tune. michael bolotin covered percy, annie lennox did "thin line," and the committments had the otis...

I'm thinking of the Pretenders doing Thin Line

The J. Geils Band.  Which made sense, really, as they were a white R&B band...

Was with you up until the Percy, which is (a) perhaps the most overplayed song ever, and (b) kinda not the kind of message I wanted to hear.


agreed, but you didn't really think he'd bypass this didja?

So what Otis will we get? I'm betting on "I've Been Loving You Too Long".


Was just about to say "Try a Little Tenderness" (honest!)--and now here it is.

Women, they do get wooly...from all the trouble and stress...


We heard 3DN's version last Friday on the Drive & I wrote Nuke LaLoosh:  "...You know she gets woolly..."

The Pretenders also did a fantastic "Thin Line."

And there's Bette's "When a Man ..." from The Rose.

certainly not a loving song. it belongs in a set with "who's making love," "she's got papers on me," and "if you think you're lonely now."

i was one of the two "sh-boom" votes.

Did he just say "The Pretenders with 'Thin Line Between Love and Hate'"???

I completely forgot they were on Atlantic. As were the Rascals (or were they Atco?).

I'm sure you're thinking of something else, but he played the organ on "Like a Rolling Stone", a story which Little Steven quite memorably retold on his show a few months ago.
