[ozgribbo]

When I first heard this in Scotland in the late 60's I loved the record but hadn't a clue about the artists mentioned. Gradually sought them out - loved 'em all. Thanks for posting

[missmoney1996]

2 very stupid peole missed the like

[skyeyedmusic]

This song is on the track at my work . I came home today and had to listen to it, because the song is so dang catchy. Plus, it drove me nuts, I couldnt get it out of my head.

[reddfoxsanford]

I never knew this song was from the Stax catalogue! Learn something new everyday!

[ggblueam]

Another hit from STAX record musicians!

[kiara7891]

I wish 'sweet soul music' was still made. All tis corprite bubblegum is out shinning the classics!!!!!!

[videodude4]

@kiara7891 but if you look carefully at the talent and musicmanship. it is the classics that outshine this garbage. But kepp in mind, you just have to search but it is till out there.

[EddieGrzyb]

Love this song; Great sound and singer!

[hanifadungarwalla]

This song is awesome. When did they stop making good music like this?

[17865329]

Now you see, this is how it's done.

[vsam10]

[darktansuperman]

[smokeyvelvet42]

@funkateerkitty Thank you, if the neighbors see you getting down just ignore them and keep the faith !!

[LaGuardiaSuiza]

Thank-you for uploading this song. I just wish that more music like this was made.

[holtridge]

awesome they dont make music like this anymore

[TrelleStar]

I always get mad when I listen to this cause I feel he should have mentioned Tina Turner somewhere in the song lol. That's okay cause Ike and Tina did a cover and Tina says "SPOTLIGHT IS ON ME YALL" ha ha!

[tmarthegr8]

this is before tina turners time

[TrelleStar]

No, not before Tina Turner's time. Ike and Tina had been commercially successful since "A Fool in Love" in 1960. Sweet Soul Music is around '67. Ike & Tina Revue was internationally known by this time and had just finished touring with the Rolling Stones. If anything Ike and Tina were before Arthur Conley's time. Regardless, I do like all the versions of the song.

[pecanchocolatedeluxe]

disagree, i think he changed his name, not his gender, I'll need proof of that. Great song, great voice.

[joshiejjones07]

He borrowed this tune from Sam Cooke

and re-worked it with an upbeat track.

I believe it was originally titled "Yeah Man"

by the great Sam Cooke.

Little Arthur wound up a transvestite doing

his American Soul man act in Belgium.

Great cover, though.

[bootjangler]

In their early days, The Jam alerted me to this when they did a cover. A truly great song.

[8erfromdec]

Awesome. Saw the Fleshtones cover this once.

[hajrullah1990]

i love that song

[Nancyjean24]

Singin Mustang Sallayy!!!!!!!!

[tdogda69er]

agreed this is back when music still had a lot of feeling and soul. kinda sad we lack that nowadays.

[Maxshard]

Damn right!

[smokeyvelvet42]

Authru u da man!! When I do this song at karaoke bars it brings the house down literally !!! This song has so much soul it knocks you in several directions at once. He incorporated all those mult-talented singers in this song and gave credit where credit was due. One of the all time classic soul songs. Authur u da Man!!!!!!!!!! May the funk keep yow'll on your feet until the ambulance shows up, to take your exhausted a-s to hospital cause you done dance yourself into a coma. Yeah, yeah,

[PhflyDan1]

@smokeyvelvet42 HA!! LOL

[smokeyvelvet42]

@PhflyDan1 Did that hit your funny bone ? You can stop dancing now the people with the strait jacket are at the door :-)

[tauheke]

@smokeyvelvet42 ... Love to hear your version man true! but I also love the way you've written your comment, it's really funny!

[smokeyvelvet42]

@tauheke Thanks for the comment I appreciate it when one has humor and can enjoy the lighter side of life. If you laughed then you  made my day. Stay cool and keep the faith !!!

[smokeyvelvet42]

@tauheke Would submit my version but out of repect from Authur I think I'd better leave it for the moment that would be adding insult to injury :-)
