Arthur Conley & The Sweaters
Stagger Lee
Recorded Live In Amsterdam — 2007
Arthur Conley, known for his 1967 hit Sweet Soul Music, performed a version of Stagger Lee live in Amsterdam in January 1980 as part of a concert that celebrated classic soul music. This performance, featuring Conley with the band The Sweaters, was part of his transition into a quieter life in the Netherlands, where he performed under the name Lee Roberts. The live recording includes a mix of covers of soul classics and was later released on CD and DVD in 2007.
The concert is notable for its raw energy and Conley's exceptional vocal abilities. His rendition of Stagger Lee on this album lasts about two minutes and captures the spirit of traditional soul music. The release also includes a DVD with two TV documentaries exploring his life and career in the Netherlands, adding context to this unique period of his life.
