Otis....

Today is another of those tragic anniversaries in rock music... on December 10, 1967, Otis Redding and his band were all killed in a plane crash in Wisconsin.  Otis is probably familiar to you for his monster hit, "Sitting On The Dock Of the Bay"... which remains his only top ten record on the Hot 100.  But Otis owned the R & B chart with many top tenners.  Today's forgotten oldie is one of those R & B monsters... "I've Been Loving You Too Long" went to #21 on the Hot 100, but was #2 on the R & B chart in 1965.  You'll remember this song, but today it's a forgotten oldie.
