You say Hannah Montana-i fucking punch you in the face
92% of teenagers have turned to New school and Pop.If you are part of the 8% that still listen to real music,copy and paste this message to another 5 videos, Don't let real music die
@gameruiners007 no i just strongly dislike people that leave that comment.. what your going to punch someone in the face just because they happen to like hannah montana? you sicken me. nazi.
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.
What a handsome and classy man he was! And his voice... A true legend!

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.

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