Description:
Released on Stax Records, this 7” single captures Redding’s electrifying stage energy in studio form. “I Can’t Turn You Loose” is a punchy, horn-driven funk-soul number, built around driving guitars, handclaps, and Redding’s commanding vocals — later becoming a staple in his live performances. The flip, “Security”, contrasts with a slower, bluesy groove, featuring moody organ and Redding’s emotive phrasing.

“I Can’t Turn You Loose” has also been covered by The Chambers Brothers, Sly & the Family Stone, The Blues Brothers, The Rolling Stones and Tom Jones to name a few. The track’s high-energy hook makes it one of Redding’s most enduring funk-soul contributions.
