"I've Been Loving You Too Long" #21 7/3/1965

Otis Redding had some success by 1965 on the R&B charts, but this was his first Top 40 record, which he co-wrote with the great Jerry Butler. It's believed Isaac Hayes played keyboards on this version; a later version had Booker T. Jones (of the legendary Memphis studio group the MG's) doing the same. I could keep dropping famous names, but Otis just plain rules with this one.
