“The Weight” was a hit song by The Band released in 1968. In 1969 Aretha Franklin recorded a version with Duane Allman just two years before his fatal motorcycle crash. Their version of “The Weight” was the highest charted recording of the song in both the US and Canada.

Loading ...It’s always nice to be informed about awesome Soul artists that I haven’t heard before. Arthur Conley may have been really popular in 1967 for his hit song “Sweet Soul Music,” but I had not heard of him until today. I look forward to discovering more of his work.

Apparently when Keith Richards wrote “Satisfaction” with Mick Jagger he originally intended the guitar line to be played with horns. Well it came out a Rock song with no horns but Otis Redding gives you the Soul version. Enjoy!
