“Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da” (Arthur Conley) #51 1/18/1969

We recently featured The Marmalade’s British #1 cover of a Beatles song from the White Album. In the States, Arthur Conley (“Sweet Soul Music”) also covered the tune here with limited success. This is notable, though, for the guitar fills of Muscle Shoals session guitarist Duane Allman, who later in 1969 rejoined his brother Gregg in a band you may have heard of.
