    • “The Dark End of the Street” — James Carr (1967): In a city whose classic soul scene was dominated by two labels, Stax and Hi, is it possible the greatest song came from neither?

    • “I’ve Been Loving You Too Long (To Stop Now)” — Otis Redding (1965): Co-written with singer Jerry Butler, and it starts with a waltz-like rhythm similar to Butler’s “For Your Precious Love.”
    • “Soul Man” — Sam & Dave (1967): Perhaps it suffers from overexposure. But try to listen with fresh ears: Steve Cropper’s guitar intro as an old friend walking through the door.
