You Left the Water Running
"You Left the Water Running" is a soul music song written by Dan Penn, Rick Hall, and Oscar Franks which has been recorded by many artists, including Wilson Pickett, Barbara Lynn, Don Varner (1967), Billy Young, Maurice & Mac, Amazing Rhythm Aces, Bobby Hatfield, James & Bobby Purify, and Otis Redding.
Redding's connection to the song is documented by music journalist Dave Marsh in his 1989 book "The Heart of Rock and Soul".
In 1966, Redding was visiting FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, when studio owner Rick Hall requested Redding help them with an upcoming session.
Wilson Pickett was to record "
You Left the Water Running", and Hall wished for Redding to record a demo to assist with the production.
A simple recording was made and Redding made some overdub additions, and Pickett made his recording similar to Redding's version.
Ten years later, Marsh was mailed a promo copy of "You Left the Water Running" by Redding on Stone Records
(the flipside was an instrumental called "The Otis Jam", which was produced by John Fred, of "Judy in Disguise (with Glasses)" fame).
Marsh was fascinated by the song, and mentioned the new single to several friends, including his attorney, who also happened to represent the Redding estate.
He soon found out that Stone Records had not obtained the Redding family's permission to release the long-lost demo recording, and demanded the single be pulled from circulation.
When Marsh asked the label's distributor what was to become of the single, he was informed that they were to be destroyed.
Instead, Marsh purchased the copies that remained, and gave them out as gifts, with the attorney's permission.
As a result, the single (Stone 209) is now highly valuable.
Atlantic Records released "You Left the Water Running" for the first time legally on the compilation album "The Otis Redding Story" in 1987.
Though that box set is no longer available, the song has appeared in similar collections in the years that have followed.

Otis Redding
Otis Ray Redding Jr. (September 9, 1941 – December 10, 1967) was an American singer, songwriter, record producer, arranger, and talent scout.
He is considered one of the greatest singers in the history of American popular music and a seminal artist in soul music and rhythm and blues.
Redding's style of singing gained inspiration from the gospel music that preceded the genre.
His singing style influenced many other soul artists of the 1960s.
Redding was born in Dawson, Georgia, and at the age of 2, moved to Macon, Georgia.
Redding quit school at age 15 to support his family, working with Little Richard's backing band, the Upsetters, and by performing in talent shows at the historic Douglass Theatre in Macon.
In 1958, he joined Johnny Jenkins's band, the Pinetoppers, with whom he toured the Southern states as a singer and driver.
An unscheduled appearance on a Stax recording session led to a contract and his first single, "These Arms of Mine", in 1962.
Stax released Redding's debut album, "Pain in My Heart", two years later.
Initially popular mainly with African-Americans, Redding later reached a wider American pop music audience.
Along with his group, he first played small shows in the American South.
He later performed at the popular Los Angeles night club Whisky a Go Go and toured Europe, performing in London, Paris and other major cities.
He also performed at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967.
Shortly before his death in a plane crash, Redding wrote and recorded his iconic "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" with Steve Cropper.
The song became the first posthumous number-one record on both the "Billboard" Hot 100 and R&B charts.
The album "The Dock of the Bay" was the first posthumous album to reach number one on the UK Albums Chart.
Redding's premature death devastated Stax.
Already on the verge of bankruptcy, the label soon discovered that the Atco division of Atlantic Records owned the rights to his entire song catalog.
Redding received many posthumous accolades, including two Grammy Awards, the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
In addition to "(Sittin'
On)
The Dock of the Bay,Respect" and "Try a Little Tenderness" are among his best-known songs.
