%22I Can't Turn You Loose%22 is a song written and first recorded by American soul singer Otis Redding. It was released as the B-side to his 1965 single %22Just One More Day%22. The up-tempo song became a bigger hit on the US R&B chart than its A-side and has become one of Redding's signature songs and often appeared in his live performances.In 1968, The Chambers Brothers version of this song reached #37 on the Billboard Magazine pop singles chart.An instrumental version of the song was used by The Blues Brothers in their live performances to introduce %22Joliet Jake%22 (John Belushi) and %22Elwood%22 Blues (Dan Aykroyd). The song is played by the band in the 1980 film The Blues Brothers.
