R&P: Does anyone else here enjoy the soul stylings of Mr. Sam Cooke?

Question

Favorite song?

I looove:

Sixteen
Another Saturday Night
Twistin' The Night Away
etc...

Answer 1

Yes. Sam Cooke is awesome.



One of my favorite songs is a cover of Willie Dixon's Little Red Rooster that he did on the splendid Night Beat album. Ray Charles plays piano on the song.



Ain't That Good News is a great album as well.

Answer 2

The thing about Sam Cooke (and I'm certainly not the first to make the point) is that his best work is really amazing, and a lot of the rest is utter fluff. Just totally forgettable. Sure, "A Change Is Gonna Come" could certainly be the best song ever written, but I don't quite by in to the whole legacy.

Answer 3

Cupid

Soothe Me

Sad Mood

You Send Me

Sugar Dumpling

Bring It On Home To Me

A Change Is Going To Come

Everybody Loves To Cha Cha Cha

Answer 4

He was one of, if not the, greatest Male Soul Singers of all time! "A Change is Gonna Come" is an absolute Classic- indeed, possibly the best Soul song of all time. Otis Redding did a brilliant version, but Sam was an absolute Master of his Art!
