@Recce007 - We who know Sam listen to all his songs continuously because they are magic, others are yet to discover the magic, but they will sooner or later.
No it was Mary magaline Pridgon and that was my grandmother .. she was 16... as well they was both young... and the song was wrote because he was still in love..no he wasnt a pervert and if you listen to the song you would understand it!!!! great song
.... Holy shit!! I haven't heard this since I was a teenager! .. weather it was the 90's or the 60's to some of us this song spoke to us on sooo many levels!! :)
you say that YOU are ignorant too? Or are you calling ME ignorant? Before yu answer, tell me if you know that aman of 17 years old (as he said he was in the song) is considered a MAN, ad a female of 16 is underage in ALL 50 states? so if this man of 17 is trying to hook-up with 16 year odl feml, that makeshim a child molester. But I see who you are and what you are, ad I understand that you dont know a damn thing about the law and probably dont care. so g shoot yourself in the head bitch.
Other than the fact that 17 is not considered a man, 16 is not underage in every state, there was no mention of sex in the song, and there were no laws broken, FWW is correct on every count.
Beautiful reminds me of my first love who was a singer, he sang in clubs and used to look at me when he sang. I was sixteen then. I am now 72 yrs yet I get a tear in my eyes when I hear it sung so beautifully Mo.
On the way home from Manhattan today these 5 guys jumped onto my cart and started singing this! They even had a 3-part harmony section! It was awesome!
this song reminds me of my first love... he sang that to me cos i was actually 16 when we met :) old times but every time i hear it, it makes me smile
Sam Cooke was a wonderful singer, from the era I grew up in ! Sadly he was taken from us much too early in life ! RIP Sam, you live on in your music !!

A few of your lyrics need correction...
"We'd laugh and we'd sing
and do funny things" should be little things
"But I was a mere child of sixteen" should be lad of sixteen
