“Mr. Pitiful” is a song written by Otis Redding and Steve Cropper which was on the 1965 album The Great Otis Redding Sings Soul Ballads. It also appeared on The Commitments soundtrack (sung by Andrew Strong). Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin makes a nod to Otis Redding in the song “The Crunge” (from the album “Houses of the Holy”), which is known for paying tribute to soul and funk. The song was also covered by New York Ska-Jazz Ensemble on their album “Low Blow” and by Tower Of Power on their album “Great American Soulbook”. A version recorded by Matt Costa appeared in the 2009 film I Love You, Man. Read on...
