"Sweet Soul Music" is a soul song, first released by Arthur Conley in 1967. Written by Conley and Otis Redding, it is based on the Sam Cooke song "Yeah Man" from his posthumous album ''Shake''; the opening riff is a quote from Elmer Bernstein's score for the 1960 movie ''The Magnificent Seven''. It reached the number two spot on both the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and the ''Billboard'' R&B chart, and #7 on the UK Singles Chart.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sweet Soul Music )〕 J. W. Alexander, Sam Cooke's business partner, sued both Redding and Conley for plagiarizing the melody. A settlement was reached in which Cooke's name was added to the writer credits, and Otis Redding agreed to record some songs in the future from Kags Music, a Cooke – JW Alexander enterprise. ==Lyrics== The song is an homage to soul music. The following songs are mentioned in the lyrics: *"Going to a Go-Go" by The Miracles; the group is not explicitly mentioned. *"Love Is a Hurtin' Thing" by Lou Rawls *"Hold On, I'm Comin' " by Sam & Dave *"Mustang Sally" by Wilson Pickett *"Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa" by Otis Redding. A brief instrumental version of the chorus for the song is quoted, after Conley says the words "Hit it Otis". Additionally, James Brown is described as "the king of them all". At the end of the song, Arthur Conley sings the lyrics: "Otis Redding got the feeling." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sweet Soul Music」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
