Sam Cooke's complete Specialty Recordings 3

We are so used to the name Sam Cooke.....
I must confess I wasn't aware of the fact that when Sam Cooke was with the Soul Stirrers his name was written Sam Cook...
If you check eg Wikipedia you see they say his birthname is Samuel Cook. How wrong.... It simply is just Sam Cook.
When you are a vinyl collector check the name on the record. If it's Soul Stirrers ft Sam Cooke it's a re-issue (scan at right) !
But thanks to Erik Greene me and you all have been educated about this from now on !!!
Soul Stirrers ft Sam Cook - Jesus, I'll Never Forget

Best of Sam Cooke sleeve

Dec_2007_11 I wrote a small article about Sam Cooke. OK, allright, the sleeve (and by so the album title...) wasn't the correct one. That's the Blogger's freedom of choice... I do it also on other posts... Just how I think things fit best...
Here's the correct sleeve. Front and back from the original LP and back/inner from the CD re-issue with the 3 bonus tracks.

Today 1964 Sam Cooke died

Today 1964 Sam Cooke died. You can read all (well, not all, because there are still today several versions of what happened) about his deatch in Wikipedia.

On 22 january I wrote an article about Sam Cooke (he was born that day 1931) and I noticed this page is one of the 'best read' pages (because of the offered gospel songs ??).

Here I present you (again) that superb 1964 BBC appearance in which Cassius Clay & Sam Cooke perform 'a capella' The gang's all here.

If you wanna know what this song is all about go to my 27 may 2006 article : Ali ah Gang & Bad habits and the lessons (the link !).

My todays offer is Cooke, Sam - Hits of Sam Cooke.
Included is the Popcorn song Cupid. When I first heard it I found the sound ssshhhh strange. Just later on I understood it was the sound of (Cupid's) arrow..... Lol.
01-You Send Me
02-Only Sixteen
03-Everybody Loves To Cha Cha Cha
04-(I Love You) For Sentimental Reasons
05-(What A) Wonderful World
06-Summertime
07-Chain Gang
08-Cupid
09-Twistin' The Night Away
10-Sad Mood
11-Having A Party
12-Bring It On Home To Me
13-Win Your Love For Me
14-You Were Made For Me
15-Nothing Can Change This Love

On this day 1931 : Sam Cooke was born

Sam Cooke is a man who has to be remembered today, no doubt about that !!

On Wikepedia you can find his bigraphy and if that's not enough you can go to the Sam Cooke site which is dedicated to him.

Known to most people by his hits like Only sixteen, Chain gang, Cupid, Twistin' the night away, Another saturday night : need I go on ?

Like so many black singers Sam Cooke started as a church singer. Oh how I like his gospel songs, even much more than his popular hits.
So I made a small personal compilation of songs he made with the Soul Stirrers for ya. So this is not a commercial available CD/LP !
I always get tears in my eyes when I listen to Touch the hem of His garment. Believing and also being humble you know.
Peace in the valley is also a nice, but more familiar, song. The others are all top as well !!!!!
I added three alternate take's instead of the original issued versions.
And because gospel is best heard in church itself I saved, in my opinion, the best (twenty minutes !) for the end : I have a friend above all others & Be with me Jesus & Nearer to Thee.
The comment is, as always, 'the place to be' for this.

Last wednesday I wrote about Muhammad Ali (Cassius Clay) and his 65th birthday. I referred to an earlier post of mine : the 1963-LP Cassius Clay - I am the greatest (for 'collectors' only !). But few know Sam Cooke helped Cassius Clay (they were friends) making those records in them day's.
Here are on Youtube Cassius Clay & Sam Cooke BBC 1964 (watch the interviewer laughing) while they are singing one of the songs from this LP.

Well if you like this (and I am 200% sure you will) go to my april 2006 posting !
