Here's some essential Southern soul. From the Monterey International Pop Festival in 1967, Otis Redding sings "I've Been Loving You Too Long."

My favorite up-tempo Otis is "I Can't Turn You Loose." This horn riff is still played at college basketball games, at least in the ACC. I'm not sure what TV show this is from, but the date is 1966. It's not a lip-sync.
