I've been told there is an uptempo cover by the dells, lou rawls, and Da-kars.

Can someone refosoul the different ones for me please!

It's not uptempo, or no more so than Otis' version is, but you haven't lived until you've heard The Staple Singers' incredible Stax version from 1969. Mavis Staples was just born to sing this song!

Can't do Refosoul, don't have the technology, otherwise I'd be glad to!

don't forget Blowflys' take on it, sHittin on dock of the bay.

Yep, that's right, Blowfly's version is disgustingly funny, but even more hilarious and comical (and a hell of a lot cleaner!) is the version by Archie Bell and the Drells where Archie turns the lyrics around and laments the fact that Uncle Sam has called him up for army duty just when he's got the biggest record on the planet , so there is poor Archie just ... sitting on the dock of the bay .... !!!!
