In my opinion, I Iike this version better. Listen to the beautiful interchange between brother Sam and Paul Foster. You can really feel the glory in their voices. You can also hear the pain of 300 years of oppression. It gets no better than this...With that being said, Brendan McFarlane's version is mind-blowing!!! It gave me goose-bumps! That young man has a bright future ahead of him.
doesn't matter if it's brendan macfarlane or sam cooke....it's like a spiritual, meant to be sung by myriads......it's beautiful, to whoever hears or sings it with soul
I really think Brenden MacFarlane is such a talented kid! His voice is AMAZING. BUT WITH THAT BEING SAID: I could tell who the young and new generation people are typing these comments. Although you may "prefer" or like Brenden's version better, you couldn't possibly understand how the original is better. I don't have enough time to explain. But this is a LEGEND we are talking about. Sam Cooke. But yes, Brenden did the song justice.
I'm so glad Brendan's voice has shown people where true inspiration comes from .I have been listening to Sam since age 7 and now I'm 42 . Brendan helps me believe that young folks will soon rediscover the man who brought in Soul music The One and Only Sam Cooke
@grega1972 The so called music out today is misguiding and non inspirational to the youth. This is music with feelings from the heart. Emotions should control music not blinded minds growing up with nonsense where every other song is killing drugs and sex. I dont know if you listen to hip hop but please check out my music and tell me what you think. Im going to bring back the true meaning of hip hop and would like everyones opinion. thnx
Hopefully he hangs on to that soul. hate to see him leave his roots for the industries cronies, like britany spears and all the rest of the victimized kids
Its amazing how music lives through generations, thanks to this young kid we all came to listen to the original. Now a days music sucks (mostly), refreshing to see someone like Brendan
I had to hear it from Sam Cooke..AMAZING SONG..we need this song to hit the charts again. GOD cares. Yep Brendan MacFarlanes pipes bought me here to here a soulful gospel song. Thank you.
Sam Cooke is the GREATEST of all musicians. His ability to exert the deepest emotions of mankind definitely come from The Creator and still "Touch The Hem Of His Garment". RIP Sam Cooke.
@poetryselite No way. Greatest vocalist...I don't think so, but at least you have a case there (Although I don't think that anyone is within arms reach of Marvin Gaye). But greatest musician?...that's blasphemous to me.
@snickerbar4u1 I think that he's one of the greatest vocalists, althought I think there are several singers who can do more with their voice than Sam. But to say that he is the best overall musician is absurd...to me at least.

About Brendan's version.... there was so much soul and blues in it I had to look up this song.
I was expecting to hear country. Surprise - surprise.
Now I have the urge to hear the music from the movie "The Color Purple"
