"Sweet Soul Music" is a song written by Sam Cooke, Arthur Conley and Otis Redding, and first recorded by Conley in 1967. The song is based on the Sam Cooke song "Yeah Man" (included on his posthumous album "Shake"), which is why Cooke's name is included in the writer credits. The opening riff is from Elmer Bernstein's score for the 1960 movie The Magnificent Seven.
