Today is Martin Luther King Jr Day. I am doing two blog posts which are for music blog hops. I am not going to do three posts. As I write this blogpost I would like to give the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr a nod.

This is such a great song. I used it a couple of years ago and still have another match up in my queue of things I might do someday. Your picks didn't match either of my Battles. So many great versions of this song out there.
Just looking at the candidates I figured that Otis would cinch my vote. And he really puts the soulful feeling in his version. However, Seal's style is more to my preference.
A vote for Seal.

Mike,
Nice battle, great song choice! I liked both covers but I felt Seal's version matched my mood better this morning, so I'm giving my vote to Seal. I have my BoTB & 4M posts together, so hopefully you'll stop by whenever you get a chance.
Great battle, Mike!
I'm a fan of Otis Redding, so it comes as a surprise to me that I am voting for Seal. He just delivered a smoother version in my opinion.
Great song and good contenders for this battle. I had to listen twice to be sure. Otis Redding made me "feel" the song more, so he gets my vote. The trumpet at the end didn't hurt either.
This in one of those songs that is truly great; it has heart. Real heart; it's emotive. Out of three fantastic choices, I'm leaning towards Seal this time.
Well done!
Howdy, MIKE.
You can give my vote to OTIS. I think his rendition sounded more meaningful. Which makes sense, because I think he lived at a time that really did more match the meaning of the lyrics. The whole Civil Rights movement and "the times they were a-changin'".
