The Sweet Life is an album by American jazz organist Reuben Wilson recorded in 1972 and released on the Groove Merchant label.

[1][2][3] Allmusic's Jason Ankeny said: "After a series of sugary soul-jazz dates for Blue Note, Reuben Wilson resurfaced on Groove Merchant with The Sweet Life.

The title notwithstanding, the session is his darkest and hardest-edged to date, complete with a physicality missing from previous efforts".
