Arthur Lee Conley (January 4 1946 ? November 17 2003) was an American soul
singer, best known for the 1967 hit, "Sweet Soul Music". It shot to the
number two spot on both the pop and R&B charts, earning Conley the number
eleven male artist ranking for 1967. The song paid homage to other soul
singers like Lou Rawls, Wilson Pickett and James Brown.
Career Conley was born in McIntosh County, Georgia and grew up in Atlanta.
He first recorded in 1959 as the lead singer of Arthur & the Corvets. With
this group, he released three singles in 1963 and 1964 ("Poor Girl", "I
Believe", and "Flossie Mae") on the Atlanta based record label, National
Recording Company.
In 1964, he moved to a new label (Ru-Jac Records) and released "I'm a
Lonely Stranger". When Otis Redding heard this, he asked Conley to record
a new version, which was released on Redding's own fledgling label Jotis
Records, as only its second release.
