    Sam Cooke has a voice that comands attention. You don't have to ask who's singing that song, because of his phiniminal voice and music, is truly one of q kind and you can reconize it anywhere. His voice is also very clear and it's easy to sing along to all of his music. He is also an Incredible song writter. He's written almost everything he sang. . Mr. Soul, your legacy will live on in our hearts forever..I Love You and I wish that I would have known you, you are the Best..R.I.P.

    When Sam did this song in Houston at the Sam Houston Coliseum as part of a caravan of blues artists show the women went so wild, throwing underwear and bras on the stage and attempting to get to the star the police had to shut down the show. I had been to many concerts and this had never happened, it was crazy. When the lights came on it was over. However that night Sam treated the 'in crowd' to an impromptu show at the Palladium Ballroom on Southmore. It was fantastic.

      My brothers and I were so fortunate to have seen most of the greats in their primes, Bobby Bland probably 10 times, the Temptations, Jackie Wilson, Chuck Jackson, James Brown, Al TNT Braggs, Otis Redding, Ike and Tina, The Miracles, and what was so great back then were the big road review shows with so many acts and we saw these performers in Milwaukee, Chicago and Houston. In Houston at the mecca of blues, Palladium Ballroom, up close and personal. I also saw the Beatles in Houston in Aug. 1965 two months before I was drafted. Actually my first rock and roll concert was 1957 Ricky Nelson in Houston. I consider myself the luckiest rocker alive and will attend a concert in Cleveland this October to see Marillion my favorite progressive rock band from England. My last R&B show was Baby Face in 2014.

    Phenomenal artist taken too soon. As good as he is here, this is Sam reserved, performing for white America. His Live at the Harlem Square record (arguably the greatest live album of all time) is Sam truly going for it. It's soul personified. It was recorded in 1963 but it wasn't released until 1985 because RCA, the record label thought it was too black, too raw and gritty for the time. Sam is the true Godfather of Soul. There will never be another like him.
