Who's song: "Do you like good music, yeah, yeah..."
John Chambers
it's from 60's if memory serves (which, as a child of the 60s' it tends not to
do). I thought Wilson Pickett at first, but am doubting it now. She wants the
lyrics so she can sing it in her 5th grade talent show. If you know who sang
it, or better yet can point me to the lyrics I'd really love it!

From one child of the 60s to another...
This is Sweet Soul Music, by Arthur Conley, a protege of Otis Redding. Here
are the lyrics
Sweet Soul Music
Arthur Conley
Do you like good music?
Ha! That sweet soul music,
just as long as it's swinging.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
We're out there on the floor, y'all,
goin' to a go-go,
dancin' with the music.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Spotlight on Lou Rawls, y'all.
Oh, don't he look boss, y'all.
Singin' 'Love's a Hurtin' Thing', y'all.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Spotlight on Sam and Dave, y'all.
Oh, don't they look great, y'all.
Singin' 'Hold on, I'm Coming'.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Spotlight on Wilson Pickett now,
that wicked wicked Pickett
singin' €Mustang Sally'.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Spotlight on Otis Redding now
singin' 'fa fa fa fa fa fa
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa'.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Spotlight on James Brown, y'all.
He's the king of them all, y'all.
He's the king of them all, y'all.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Do you like good music?
Ha! That sweet soul music,
just as long as it's swinging.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
I got to get the feeling...

nope Jim.... the artist is Arthur Conley. Otis was Conley's mentor, having
discovered Conley and bringing him to the attention of TPTB in the music biz.
Interestingly, Redding is credited as a co-writer with Conley of this song.
Checking out the lyrics, you see the Conley MENTIONS Redding (as well as
Pickett, who was also mistaken in this NG as the artist).
I remember reading somewhere that Conley was so shaken by Redding's death that
he stopped performing himself.

Connelly. Good Luck!
