@@5inthehole l was 9 years old when Sam Cooke was slain in 1964. I now 65 and still hate with a passion, anyone who had anything to even remotely to do with his murder What a tragedy, what a loss to society. Senseless
Recently got into him more and listening to him a lot, his voice is so beautiful, so good. just shows that music from another time can still have power and reach us youngsters (I'm 18)
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.
I love how he's enjoying performing so much that he's going "mmm!" at his own performance, like "man this sounds good!" hahaha!!! I love it. So much soul.
THE GREATEST SINGER OF OUR TIME....PRODUCER, WRITER,ARRANGER, RECORD COMPANY CEO,ACTOR,ACTVIST AND ONE OF THE BEST LOOKING ,BEST DRESSED MAN EVER...THANK YOU GOD FOR GIVING THE WORLD A TASTE OF PERFECTION. ..
That is the question I have been asking for years, I heard a rumor that Mick Jaggers movie production company is going to make a Sam Cooke Movie as he was involved in the latest James Brown movie.
Sam Cooke was such a great singer and dancer. There could not be a dull moment when he too the stage. Great dresser and smile that warmed the heart. He was taken from us too soon. 🙏
Wow! What a voice and such charisma. Sam was one very handsome man. A true legend. Thank you for sharing this wonderful treasure of Sam Cooke live and so amazing.
One of the greatest never been matched. Listened to his life story on the radio recently and it's tragic end. And although I wasn't born when Sam was alive I have always loved his music the real king of soul! R.I.P Sam
Probably one of the best voices in the history. And such a modern interpretation. He understood the core and the essence of music and was much farther than the others
My parents got to see him in NYC a few times last time was just months before he was shot but damn it was wild mix of people and he had the place dancing just going crazy.
The buzz at the start of the song makes me love this song, I took a razer to my vinyl record to recreate this actually! It makes me cry everytime thank you so much for getting the limited edition copy 😭😭😪
hes here so young, so mindblowingly talented, flawless in his performance and breathtakingly good-looking.He wrote his music himself. I am still devastated to know he died so young so senselessly and in such sketchy circumstances.
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.
Yes, I'm 71 but I am still a rocker and would not trade my history with music, the shows, the memories for a new lease on life. Life is great but not the music, not R&B, never will be as great as it was in the 60's.
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.
Harlem Square very greatest live album i ever heard. As his brother L.C. Said "audiences knew that Sam could get down and Sam did get down"{describing harlem Square]
some??...how about most..absolutely love this song..was in a McDonald's a couple of days ago... this was playing...best Big Mac I've ever had..song sounds as fresh as ever
I'm only 33 lol but sam cookes music has always been speacial to me , he sings from his soul. Makes me so sad how his life got cut so short. He was robbed. :(
If you want to hear how he sounded in a hot, sweaty club with a great grooving small band, the Harlem Square Club version is the one you need to look up.
wow...this just makes me appreciate it even more!!!!!!!!! Just wow! Today's music is quite artificial. I can safely say Oldies music is absolutely organic. Pure Skills!
Way ahead of his time. wrote n produced his own songs and was just about to launch his own record label. He'd be dead a year later Dec 11 1964. And under some seriously mysterious circumstances. Miss you Sam Cooke
I could not agree any more. To me, Elvis and Cooke were without question to the 2 greatest singers ever. I think John Lennon was 3rd. He obviously had nowhere near as strong of a voice as those 2 but his delivery was impeccable.
Simon Green Lmfao that is just absolutely ridiculous. Elvis Presley could sing ANYTHING and make it sound amazing. And he sang with more emotion than any singer ever. There is a reason that every great musician thinks of him as a god.
The immortal Sam Cooke folks. What Mozart was to classical music, Sam Cooke was to Soul and Pop music.
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT DOG!! LOVE HIS VOICE & MUSIC!!!
Stacy O'Connor -All the great music he might have created for our ears to feast on taken away by vultures...it makes Shakespeare cry!!
Sam Cooke the greatest

Brady Dog they murdered him. I love Sam Cooke’s voice, his music has brought so many joy to millions, Rest In Peace, Sam.
Recently got into him more and listening to him a lot, his voice is so beautiful, so good.
just shows that music from another time can still have power and reach us youngsters (I'm 18)
No age limit on great music 🎶
Best voice I've ever heard
IMO the best voice anyone has ever heard. Sam is the best all-time.
I totally agree 👌
One of the best in my book❣
me too intoxicating voice AND sooo handsome!!
yes!!
If there was a ONE NIGHT ONLY concert that featured........
SAM COOKE......MARVIN GAYE....
JACKIE WILSON & NAT KING COLE
I would be set forever!!!💞💞
My favorite singer of all time, Sam Cooke was amazing!
The best❤😍
Absolutely!
without a doubt
The best

… the legend
@@nolanwolfe my man!
The true king of soul ....where's sams life story on film ?
That is the question I have been asking for years, I heard a rumor that Mick Jaggers movie production company is going to make a Sam Cooke Movie as he was involved in the latest James Brown movie.
Elston Gunn I really look forward to that production if it indeed happens.
Carlos Gregory question is ...who plays Sam ?
Carlos Gregory What a great classic this is......Timeless! Sam Cooke was the man for sure.....
+Carlos Gregory CNN anchor Don Lemon...looks just like Sam
Simply put..the greatest singer ever..Sam could sing the phone book and it would go top ten...amazing
Damn he was a handsome dude with a awesome voice!
Goooosh, Sam cooke was just UNREAL!!...almost unhuman...insane live pitch!!!...EPIC, EPIC vocalist!!!
This is my Father's favorite song. Miss you so much Dad
He is in Heaven, listening in again!
Sam Cooke was such a great singer and dancer. There could not be a dull moment when he too the stage. Great dresser and smile that warmed the heart. He was taken from us too soon. 🙏
Wow! What a voice and such charisma. Sam was one very handsome man. A true legend. Thank you for sharing this wonderful treasure of Sam Cooke live and so amazing.
Used to listen to Sam Cooke on cassette with my grandad when I was little. What a talent!
I remember as a kid growing up and a sam cooke record playing in my home. Was a great childhood for a 90's kid born in the 80's
One of the greatest never been matched. Listened to his life story on the radio recently and it's tragic end. And although I wasn't born when Sam was alive I have always loved his music the real king of soul! R.I.P Sam
I've been searching so long for videos of Sam Cooke, came across this just now.Appreciate it very much.
One of my favorite soul singers of all time Amazing voice ❤
He had such a voice, but so good looking I could listen to him with the sound down
woooo awesome! It's really live. No lip sync! The great Sam Cooke, ladies and gentlemen!
Man I feel so privileged to feel Sam Cooke’s energy on every bone of my body when I listen to this!
I’m twisting whilst doing the washing up......
This brother had me singin for 20 odd years now , pure gifted and class! Ali was greatest sportsman amen , this guy never bettered in his field
I'm 33 and sam Cooke is my favorite singer ever
A story needs to be told about this brotha, seriously!
Happy birthday Sam Cooke Rest in Peace (1931-1964)
Tragically died way too young one of the best ever we need more like hm today
Awe yes that is sad :(
That voice! We will never know how much amazing music was lost
SAM COOKE THE KING OF OF SOUL NO QUESTIONING. man this guy only two words TOO GOOD!
Probably one of the best voices in the history. And such a modern interpretation. He understood the core and the essence of music and was much farther than the others
My parents got to see him in NYC a few times last time was just months before he was shot but damn it was wild mix of people and he had the place dancing just going crazy.
Who are the 46 hopeless souls who, as of today, Oct 12, 2019, gave this terrific video a thumbs down??? What is wrong with people today.
they are idiots tom c
The buzz at the start of the song makes me love this song, I took a razer to my vinyl record to recreate this actually! It makes me cry everytime thank you so much for getting the limited edition copy 😭😭😪
Sam Cooke - what can I say but he is my FAVORITE singer of All time. The world would have loved having more of him..... rip
😢 one of the last songs I remember my grandpa singing. 🙏🏾
The BEST Voice and Stage Presence, Truly Royalty of Rock and Roll!

Yep no matter how much I hear Sam cook songs they just get better
How could you not move to this. How could you only move your hands. I wish I could go back in time I would be the only one dancing
This is a person that is definitely missed!
yesterday would've been his 86th birthday.
Happy late Birthday king off soul Sam Cooke
I just love his voice man if he had live I have to list at him every night before I sleep rest in peace love u thank you for the music

I wonder if the people in the audience realised what a true legend he was. I listen to him almost every day. The best.
2019 anyone? this is still better than some songs in 2019
Que musica ❤
some??...how about most..absolutely love this song..was in a McDonald's a couple of days ago... this was playing...best Big Mac I've ever had..song sounds as fresh as ever
Today,s music is very bad, it,s too sad!
I'm only 33 lol but sam cookes music has always been speacial to me , he sings from his soul. Makes me so sad how his life got cut so short. He was robbed. :(
Love the wailin' horns at the end of this song! Sam Cooke left us way too soon!
This guy was class all the way
Sam Cooke aka Mr. Sole He was an incredible Singer/singer writer. A Legend in his own time.
I enjoy this so much❤❤❤
what a GEM,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,so sad he left way tooooooooo soon,,,, so sad,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, love him
Live Folks, Yep live , The one, the only Sam Cooke. Perfection
I'm watching this in 2019 and I love it. Class, style and talent in the time of segregation. I can't imagine performing under such circumstances.
If you want to hear how he sounded in a hot, sweaty club with a great grooving small band, the Harlem Square Club version is the one you need to look up.
Sam Cooke was marvelous
Must have had a dream, dreaming about the beginnings of Rock n Roll. This song on my mind soon as I woke.
The Two BBC Radio shows about his life were amazing
Will be his Birthday Jan 22
Great to see his music still very much alive and kicking 2015
No auto tune on this one!
His vocal chords already had that plugin installed by default.
he sounds identical to the record- pure skills
Ron Jamal Bruce this is because it is his voice on the records, it is not filtered or edited in any way, unlike most of today's "artists"
wow...this just makes me appreciate it even more!!!!!!!!! Just wow! Today's music is quite artificial. I can safely say Oldies music is absolutely organic. Pure Skills!
He’s a joy to watch, he puts a smile on your face wish I had a time machine to go and see him live.
great video, amazed at how he moved to the music. a great loss to music and a whole generation
Pure joy, pouring in an endless stream from the heart of this song.
I love Sam Cooke!!!
SAM WAS THE MAN NO QUESTION..
Pride of Clarksdale, Mississippi. One of many legends from there.
Way ahead of his time. wrote n produced his own songs and was just about to launch his own record label. He'd be dead a year later Dec 11 1964. And under some seriously mysterious circumstances. Miss you Sam Cooke
Silky Smove SOUL Sam Cook was a Great Singer. Gone to soon RIP
One of the most iconic voices you'll ever hear... Classic 🔥🔥🔥
Sam had a beautiful voice that could sing any song.
He was so beautiful and talented. We love you, Sam
aurai voulu vivre ces années twist!!!!!adore!!!!!!
Great voice he and nat king cole
great live performance
Absolutely first talent. Perfect.
Sam Cooke is the man
For me Sam Cooke and Elvis Presley have the best voices of all time.
et james brown
Sorry mate, Elvis nowhere near the top 20
Elvis, Tom Jones, Sam Cooke, Pavarotti and James Brown
I could not agree any more. To me, Elvis and Cooke were without question to the 2 greatest singers ever. I think John Lennon was 3rd. He obviously had nowhere near as strong of a voice as those 2 but his delivery was impeccable.

He shouldn't have to ask the audience to clap or go along with him!! SAM ROCKS!! SHOULD BE DOING IT W/O ANY SUGGESTIONS! LOVE YOU SAM!!
So smooth
SAM COOKE IS ONE OF THE BEST SINGERS EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damnit this dude is the GOAT!
the era of real class and style.one of the greatest of all time
So effortlessly awesome.
Talented beyond belief. Less than a year before he was murdered. RIP
I’ve been searching for a live video of him singing.
I love this man so much. Everyone should hear him at least once in their life.
wowww I love these songs, and these men are good singer, SC, JW, GM, NC,AG I love them all I don't know if we will get singers like them again. :(
