Okay.......here's the deal.....Leon Bridges can cover Sam Cooke material and make us feel good about hearing soul in 2016. But Leon Bridges writes incredible music of his own......so please don't spend time pining for a perfect remake of the best soul artist of all time but instead welcome this amazing talent into this time. I have seen Leon Bridges live and will see him again in a few months. He's so very talented , yes, he's no Sam Cooke, that makes me happy.....he's who he is, and he's really really good.
Sam Cooke's music is all soooo good. Listening to this young man cover it was really cool. He does a good job with Sam's material. Sam is a legend that can never be reproduced, but this man is talented. I like his stuff.
Huge Sam Cooke fan. He's not bad. Applaud him for looking to the past for inspiration. Really want him to focus on his own music though. Love what he and Benjamin Booker are doing. Soul Music can come back!
Not even fair to compare my man to Sam Cooke, one of the top 10 greatest singers ever in the history of life.....But Leon is an awesome talent & I love him. And yes I've heard Leon live & on record, not just on UA-cam.

Eat those words now. Leon Bridges made more than a name for himself.
nothing wrong with doing both ! keep the greats alive, as well as write your own

A long time coming Leon............many of us have been waiting a very long time to have an artist bring to the table what you do.
Yeeees!!
I am so proud of Leon Bridges. I hope he makes it big!
I found Leon by listening to 91.7 kxt and he is amazing!
Thanks for the wonderful music.

Sam, you are fabulous. Don't ever stop singing.
One of my favorite Sam Cooke songs ever
he is who he is that's for real,
I love me some all time and one of the greatest "Sam Cooke" but this guy is also great Go Leon... Sam would be "Prourd"...
Nice spin on a classic. Well done.
Sam Cooke, would be delighted to see this cover.
Leon definitely has Sam Cooke in his soul. So great to hear him do some Cooke songs
I love him 😭💖✨

Come to Seattle !!
Brazil ❤🎶
I came from act and I just knew that leon bridges would cover this song
Sam Cooke Nothing can change this love is the actual song title
it's called, "nothing can change this love". that would explain I've never come across it before
Nowhere close to Cooke, but sings really good. Nice job
❤❤❤❤❤❤
This dude is trill
try not to compare....just listen....
Yes
Einfach geil 😎
The lick at 4:12
Daniel Creamer how about 4:20
Decent voice and refreshing change. No Sam Cooke here
Mike Green fuck off mike
Mike Green You're right, It's Leon Bridges!

More Leon! ua-cam.com/video/9Q-QJN2sTe8/v-deo.html&spfreload=10
got damn.
soo refreshing to hear music like this these days
Good job but he should do it like on the album 1963 Harlem square garden would of been much easier for him......
"Coming Home" is absolutely stunning. ua-cam.com/video/MTrKkqE9p1o/v-deo.html

Muy buena voz. Pero Sam Cooke sólo habrá Uno e Irrepetible.
If you're gonna do the great Sam Cooke,you gonna have to sing it with more passion.
samarvemstyle, and paying tribute to to the Late Great Sam Cooke by singing some of his songs is not trying to sound like him.
No one ever sings the song more passionately than the person who penned it.
