Saw him when I was in High School here in Portland Maine sometime around 1972 or 73. Unbelievable concert, I learmed the song "Loving You Crossed My MInd" and 38 years later I still play and sing it on my guitar all the time. This guy was GREAT!!!
I met Sam in a bar in Montana..he was singing with a band from Texas. We spent time together. He took his insulin shots...and I didn't think he should be drinking..but he was about 27 then. Great singer!
Thank You, for posting this real treasure of a tune. There are certain songs, that hit a core of truth, that can't be denied. I don't think there is a "Boomer", that at some level couldn't embrace the bigger message of these lyrics. From the "Sky is the limit", "Shoot for the Stars", dreams, and promises of our "Jet-Age" youth, to the pale hallow, broke, and looted, post "Golden Age America" reality, most are waking up to., Will
This is awesome......That is my shrimp boat the Mister JJII. And Sam was truly a great guy taken way too soon...I have seen him play many many times..Back in the day... Thank you
I grew up in CC and saw Sams name on the marquis at Electric Eel for years. Can still remember playing 'You Can Have Her' on our home record player. This tune is so dang cool, thanks for posting it.
@RIDETHESUNSHINE This clip was sent to me by a woman, who is a blessing to my life. Who has survived her entire life, by only looking at possibilities, and not wasting any time, or effort, on impossibilities. A true spirit of what made this country great! If there is a mountain in her way, she'll go over it! If not, she'll go around it, bore through, or need be, she'll tunnel under it!!! But, she will get past it! I Love Her, Like No Other, and will,Forever, Will
Excellent video! Certainly would love to see a video of Sam singing "Loving You Just Crossed My Mind" -- his best song, and still played here regularly.
