"I've Been Loving You Too Long" is a song Redding wrote with Jerry Butler on tour in a Buffalo hotel room. In the clip from "Monterey Pop" above, Redding sings "I've Been Loving You Too Long" (after a quick run-through of Sam Cooke's "Shake") in a performance that makes me laugh and cry at the same time. It is outrageously beautiful.I'll keep it simple; makes you love the country that made it. High art.
