JUST MISSED!!! "Ain't That Good News" just missed making the Billboard's Hot Top 10 chart; it peaked at No. 11 and spent a total of 10 weeks in the Hot Top 100 in 1964...
This was the 2nd of three straight records by Mr. Cooke that all peaked at No. 11; it started with "Little Red Rooster", then this one, and finally "Good Times". And interestingly all three records spent 10 weeks apiece in the Top 100...
@faraji22 I could not have said it better. I have over 1200 oldies on my channel. I'll give you all one guess who I started it with on Sept. 18 2009. Thank you for that comment! S Carino
I don't know if anyone else said this yet, but it's pretty much just different lyrics to "I Got a Woman." But, that doesn't matter to me, cause I'd listen to Sam singing the ingredients to a can of soup.
Okay, I love listening to the oldies music channel on my television and this song came on. My husband deployed about four months and will be back tomorrow. Strange... but it's got me so excited.
I never really cared for this song too much....don't know why. I love Sam, but this song never did anything for me...just thought you all would like to know...lol.
@Olitash I, too, have often lamented the lame orchestrations in Sam's recordings. I think it must've been fashionable at the time. Have you checked out his work with the Soul Stirrers?
my,my sam what a fantastic singer you are. i can't keepn still but would like to dance.
love it.
thank you

Only 45,000+ views? That's a crime.
Thank you Sam! The world is a sweeter place because of your talent.

Simply superb, Sam should have done more stuff like this, with a voice like his he had no need to use so much strings in many of his songs.
