"I've Been Lovin'You Too Long" - the great Otis Redding song that was completely massacred by the Rolling Stones on their first live album(remember those) "Got Live If You Want It" released in about '67. Mick Jagger's voice just cracks and goes off key. I think he bit off more than he could chew at the time. My BIG question is...WHY would somebody release this on a record? The worst kind of "bad" song is a good song done bad. It sends the message to the fans that this is just a "throw away" song, that is not worthy of our time and effort to do right and the audience is such a mindless bunch of cretins they won't know the difference anyway.
