 Arthur Conley
Arthur Conley sang and (with mentor Otis Redding) co-wrote the 1967 classic “Sweet Soul Music," arguably the finest record ever made about the genre it celebrates.
Despite Conley's graceful yet powerful vocals (which owed an immense debt to his idol, Sam Cooke), the NRC singles earned little attention, and he dissolved the group to mount a solo career, releasing “I'm a Lonely Stranger" on the Ru-Jac label in late 1964.
Conley's next single, a reading of the Big Joe Turner chestnut “Shake, Rattle and Roll," returned him to the pop Top 40 and the R&B Top 20, although its follow-up, a cover of Cooke's “Whole Lotta Woman," reached only number 73 on the pop chart.
