Monday Wake Up Joint

Simply one of the best and most heart-wrenching videos you will ever see... Otis singing I've Been Loving You Too Long at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967. Otis was dead not even six months after this performance. In fact, in the Stax Records documentary Respect Yourself, they play this performance while showing images of Otis' crashed plane being pulled out of a lake in Wisconsin. You gotta love when Otis tells Al Jackson to "do that one more time" after the first chorus. Check and wake up:
