Why do we have to compare the two? It's obvious no one is going to do the song better then Sam Cooke. Gavin was just paying homage to one of his favorite artists...which I think he does pretty damn well. There are kids out there that don't know who Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, Donny Hathaway, and Wilson Pickett are.....sad but true. This is Gavin's way of getting the song out there again so those who have never heard the originals might just check them out.
If you haven't heard.. Try "a night at Harlem square Club". I get inspired by Sam's performance of Nothing can change this love/Bring it on hom to me. The latter i think if even greater a song then the former!
you like sam better? sam cooke is the greatest singer of all time...the favorite of james brown, otis redding, aretha, wilson pickett, tupac, among others you douche
Not bad, I appreciate the attempt and the respect shown, you've got talent. But lawd ha mercy, no one cant touch Sam, naw suh....

Knowone in here is comparing the two. When it comes to singers, there's Sam Cooke and then everyone else
@goldenToothpick
Bring it on Home to me is the climax of the album, with the You Send Me intro of course :) Either that one or Having A Party

Sure you're not saying that because youre a huge Sam Cooke fan? Not exactly fair to say "then theres everyone else." So one sided
