This article is about the song. For the John Osborne play, see Try A Little Tenderness (play).

"Try a Little Tenderness" is a love song written by "Irving King" (James Campbell and Reginald Connelly) and Harry M. Woods, and recorded initially on December 8, 1932 by the Ray Noble Orchestra (with vocals by Val Rosing) followed by both Ruth Etting and Bing Crosby in 1933. Subsequent recordings and performances were done by such recording artists as Little Miss Cornshucks (1951), Jimmy Durante, Frank Sinatra, Rod Stewart, Frankie Laine, Percy Sledge, Al Jarreau, Nina Simone, Etta James, Tina Turner, Three Dog Night and John Miles and Andrew Strong.

In one of the more unusual versions of this song, Jack Webb (better known as the "just the facts, please" detective in the Dragnet radio and TV series) spoke the lyrics over an instrumental background, and this rendition was included in the first of Rhino Records' Golden Throats compilations.
