Paul Rodgers is sharing his cover of the Otis Redding classic, “I’ve Been Loving You Too Long”, as a preview of “The Royal Sessions”, a collection of classic R&B and soul songs redone by the Bad Company singer due in early 2014.

Recorded at Memphis’ Royal Studios, historic home of Willie Mitchell and Hi Records, "The Royal Sessions" features Rodgers’ interpretations of songs by Otis Redding, Albert King and Ann Peebles, among others.

All of the proceeds from “The Royal Sessions” will be donated to local Memphis music education programs.

Special showcase performances by Paul Rogers with the musicians on “The Royal Sessions” will be announced.
