"Aunt Dora's Love Soul Shack" by Arthur Conley
There are a lot of shacks in Georgia. Not to be confused with the Love Shack made famous by the B-52's, here is Arthur Conley's song about Aunt Dora's shack. Conley is better known for his #2 hit, "Sweet Soul Music" from 1967. He had a few other minor hits covering other artists, including "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" and "Shake, Rattle, and Roll". Conley was "discovered" by Otis Redding and was also a member of The Soul Clan. "Aunt Dora's Love Soul Shack" is a terrific but lesser known track from his catalogue, only reaching the #85 spot in 1968.
