“Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da"

This is, of course, the Beatles tune as interpreted by Georgia-born soul man Arthur Conley. Arthur was originally the protege of Otis Redding about the time the Big O was looking at doing something a little different than the scorching Southern soul he’d been laying on us unworthy mortals. He was influenced by trends in mainstream rock, like the Beatles and Bob Dylan. This is what gave us “Sittin’ On The Dock Of The Bay” and it was good.

With Otis, Arthur penned the unmerciful stomper “Sweet Soul Music” which hit Number Two on both the Pop and R&B charts. Unfortunately, not long after, Otis Redding died in a plane crash and, as much as anything else, pretty much put the kibosh on Redding’s brand of down-home soul. Arthur cut a few more records on the ATCO subsidiary of Atlantic Records and made a few more soul standards (”I Can’t Stop (No, No, No)” particularly) but he didn’t really make the shift into ‘70s-style soul music. He relocated to England and then Belgium before settling in Amsterdam. He changed his name to “Lee Roberts” and apart from a few performances here and there, spent the rest of his days running a music promotion company. He died in 2003.

Here’s something I didn’t know until doing a quick refresh on the man. Arthur Conley was gay but due to the times and where he was, he felt he wasn’t safe being out. That’s one reason he moved to Amsterdam and changed his name. No one knew who Lee Roberts was, no one in the Netherlands cared he was gay, and he felt like he could truly be himself and safe in his own skin.

Hat’s off to Arthur Conley, y’all.

Y aquí tenemos a Huey y sus payasos en acción en el otro gran clásico que nos dejaron “Don’t You Just Know It” (1958), excepcional número del sábado a la noche (ya cobré...) que alcanzó el número 9 en la lista Billboard Pop y el número 4 en la lista Rhythm and Blues. Es imposible escuchar esto sin corearlo y hacer un poco el mamarracho. La chavalada se lo pasa bien. Esto se debería cantar en el fútbol. Fue versionada en UK por Screaming Lord Sutch y sus Salvajes y además fue el precedente de la famosa “Ha! Ha! Ha!” de Arthur Conley para Atlantic. Ha Ha Said The Clown.

24. Sweet Soul Music by Arthur Conley debuted Mar 67 and peaked at number two, scoring 1171 points.

Art was born in Atlanta and had seven chart entries, from this, his first, to 1969. This was his only top ten. Two others made the top 40.

The Magnificent Men also charted in 1967 in a medley, but it missed the top 40.

Today's #prideicon is singer-songwriter Arthur Conley.  Born Lee Roberts. He was a protégé of the singer Otis Redding. 

He would come to be known for his hit "Sweet Soul Music."  Due the climate of the 60's. Where begin an openly gay singer was not in fashion like today.

Conley would relocate to europe where he would live for the rest of his life.  Why is he an icon?  

Because in order to live this thing called life, you gotta have balls. Arthur Conley had em'. Big ones.
