Frederick Knight:

"I've Been Lonely For So Long": (1973)
The only Stax release Frederick Knight had, but what a minor hit it produced! I've Been Lonely For So Long, is a killer R&B track that just begs for you to sing along with it. hat song, originally released as a single in '72 was a last ditch effort by Knight to have a hit after going through a few different labels. It was in fact, recorded after hours in a Birmingham, AL studio that was closed. Knight couldn't find a drummer for the session, so he improvised using a 2x4, and a padded bar stool. Musical gold was struck. 

As a side note, I would totally sport a patchwork leather jacket like this on the cover.
