  • Respond to this video... 

  • The bass voice on this song is Lou Rawls. If you know the song 'Bring It On Home To Me' he is also the baritone/bass voice on that one.

  • wouw wat geweldig is deze muziek toch

    wat een klasse zanger jammer dat hij niet meer onder ons is

    het was een hele grote zanger

  • Who is that bass voice behind sam?

  • The "Live at the Harlem Square Club" version is better. Well, you could say that about all the songs on that record, except for "Having a Party". But, man, is that record great.

  • Live at harlem is prob my favorite album right now. the reason its better is because cooke was being urged to advertise himself to whites but when he was live in harlem he loosened up and started pulling some otis redding energy once he starts feeling the crowd.

  • Yup. The execs wanted to Nat King Cole Sam (no disrespect to Mr. Cole), and have him sing ballads to white audiences for that crossover success, a la Copacabana. Ironically, Sam reached crossover status in '62, early '63, but he did it HIS way, by infusing his soulful roots into his singing, starting with Chain Gang. If this record was released, it would've made Top 10 easily, namely because Sam's brand was that strong by this time. But it was too sexually suggestive..funny by today's standards.

  • Are you for real? "Having a Party" On that record is a killer! The number of times I've smashed an R&B/Reggae audience by dropping that track is beyond mathematics!!! Each to their own. Sam Cooke is God.

  • For sure, my friend. Elmore had two fantastic tunes as "Dust my broom" and "Strange kind-a-feeling" who are my favourites. Clyde and the Drifters were frantic at the beggining of rock era. Little Wille John's still nº1 on my list with his rendition of country tune "Why don't you haul off and love me". Chuck Willis is a very recognized pioneer; I love sitll "Hang out my rock'n'roll shoesª. But in any case (in my estimation) they can't beat my poker of idols. I add Little Richard for a re-poker.

  • He sang like nobody !! Along with Elvis Presley, Gene Vincent and 'Big' Joe Turner, they were the poker of the 50's

  • Whitefalcon....well there were some more like Clyde McPhatter, Little Willie John, Elmore James ( he had a real original way of singing ) Take care

  • White....well you has some elses too like Clyde McPhatter, Little Willie John, Chuck Willis, Elmore Jones, et al. Thanks my 5 cents.

  • Love that bass voice behind Sam. Yöeah!

  • What a fun song! Thank you!

  • cheers gr8 tune

  • one of the top five greatest of all time by Mr. Cooke. thank you

  • thanks for post......

    i love him soooooooooooo.......
