sam cooke-jamaica farewell

[catwoman19628]

have anyone noticed that when SC sings he pronounces the endings of the words so clearly...I like that

[inablok1960]

Harry Belafonte must be proud that Sam Cook sang this song like this.

[kindacrazyAna14]

I love this...especially since its about JA. =)

[MrPoloski13]

Magic. He just has of way singing that's unique to him. Looked for this for so long. Thanks and bless you!

[emeraldseagull]

Sam's version of this song is the most musical of all versions!

[poniran]

sam's voice is always guarantee of adding something extra to the song..

[rogelio451]

"down the way where nights were gay" someone from the current generation just wouldn't get the right idea.

[summer3100]

my heart is down, my head is turning around....i had to leave my parents in Jam Jam and turn to london for work. No contest - i'm home sick !

[indure08]

He sounds like he just ran through this just to say he did it...doesn't sound like he's into this song at all...

[1111ICNow]

A happy song with a touch of the sad.

[tukspeacepipes]

Sam Cooke..his magical voice just takes you there.Fantastic.

Thumbs up on this super upload,,he's a legend.

[jahfathead]

God bless Jamaica

[crusher1944]

This copyright thing IS BULLSHIT. AFTER FIFTY YEARS WHO CARES

[Treavce]

smooth

[lovesamcooke]

Perfect Sam, you are the best? RIP.

[McGrenzer]

Think I like Sam's version as much as Belafonte's

[Pacer8]

Such a smooth voice!

[alf29eddie]

TMBLEEDINGROSE1-FUCKING OUTSTANDING. NOBODY WILL EVER SING LIKE SAM!!! ONE OF GOD'S CHILDREN, MAN. YOU CAN HEAR IT IN HIS VOICE.

[burnley5960]

@alf29eddie I AGREE EXACTLY CLASS

[nancyfloressantos]

A great version!

[chevaughn2000]

the master vocalist....

[MyCarla27]

Great song from Harry Belafonte !!

[grimriper2u]

quality problem. stereo converted to mono but one Chanel is missing. Recommend a re-do, not a complaint.

[marthacatgirl]

I've always loved this song. I remember hearing it when I was a little girl.  It sounds even better with Sam Cooke's beautiful voice. What a talented guy! Too bad he was taken away so soon and so tragically.

[MsChevytruck]

good



[casullen]

[trevycoley83]

@casullen Lol! Funny thing is that I have all of the songs listed above but YT has given me a hard time about the whole copyright jazz.They told me one more copyrighted post and they're gonna erase my account.So I'm kinda walkin' on thin ice.

[casullen]

@trevycoley83 I gotta get a hold of those...

[crusher1944]

@trevycoley83 This music was meant to be listen to not hidde away in some volt

[aeromel36]

What a gorgeous version of this tune. Sam Cooke was truly one-of-a-kind. Thank you for posting this.

[burnley5960]

What a voice one of the very best

[burnley5960]

Great as good as Harry,but not suprised as Sam was one of the very best

[thekidde63]

One of the best voices ever.

[BackStabbathno1]

Whats up with the mixing on this song? Goes quiet at the guitar solo parts

[SalMessina1]

GRANDE - MITICO - UNICO...

Grazie

[jaygatsby1]

sam owned every song he ever sung. greatest voice ever.

[randomsoupcan]

I heard this in Rabbids Go Home and I had to find the right version of this song

[meltthecelt]

Great to hear Sam doin this Jamaican Mento classic by Belafonte!!

[Egdirnam]

There's only one Sam Cooke and he and Belafonte, along with Jackie Wilson are the best.

[burnley5960]

wonderful what a voice as good as Harry and hes the best

[ebuckley1841]

I enjoyed this version and to me, Sam Cooke was the best male vocalist of all time.

[destined4mo]

I love this version!!! =D

[tftka]

Patti Page did a great version too!

[ljliljohn]

After Belafonte it was all downhill.

[palmettogirl366]

this song is gentle and beautiful.i love this man,although he lived and died before i was born. i try to find all songs by him.he was truly a talented artist. r i p sm cooke.love you always.

[superman654321]

This is truly a wonderful song, I vaugely remember hearing this many many years ago. Thanks for sharing!

[simbllr]

beautiful version-couldn't find it on itunes.thanks for posting the vid.

[ariesgypsy]

A bit different, but very beautiful. Sam Cooke had such a wonderful voice.

[natureboysealy]

he was the very best and i love his music

[creterep]

Beautiful voice........

[countingmx]

Finest voice of his century.

[shrrryl]

I am a great fan of Sam Cooke. Beautiful.

[kincsem1]

we used to sing this in assembly at school in Leeds!

[BLBehrens6]

I have watched 3 versions and love them all. Harry Belefonte, Sam Cooke and Jimmy Buffett . They all bring everything they have and mean to each version. Beautifully done. : )

[MARIAESTHERGUZMAN]

Hermoso... lo he dicho ya: un clásico da para muchas cosas. Bella interpretación. ¿Ya vieron el video del intérprete de tambor de metal? ¿Y el de otros intérpretes en disco de acetato? También son grandes... un clásico siempre da para muchas interpretaciones creativas, como ésta, que es muy buena.

[candysears]

Beautiful song, I remember this one..Thanks for posting.

[kb3eza]

Wonderful song. Thank you for sharing.

[sanedra]

I love Sam singing this classic Calypso song. He's so diverse. Just love his voice!! Thx 4 posting!

[Cramptown]

What clear diction. Really beautiful.

[imschmoopy]

wonderful.....good memories

[samcooke67]

can anyone get me faraway places and bali high by sam cooke

[trevycoley83]

I have them. I'll try to post them, hopefully they don't get me again, last time they stripped my songs from my channel due to the whole copyright bull.

[samcooke67]

a true legend! simply the best!

[terryshock]

god gave pele feet,god gave noah an arc , god gave sam a the most fabulous voice and he chose to share with us !

[kanabul]

Sam could sing just about anything and make it sound great.

[cdf19699]

if they ever make the sam cooke movie,

densel should play the part. he and

sam look alike. good version, but when you

can saaaaaaaaaaaaaaang, that makes a difference.

[FatManRedemption]

Nah. No offense to Denzel, but he's been in enough biopics. Not sure if he can sing either.

[N1RuffinFan]

I agree. He would have made a good Marvin Gaye too. He can't play every significant black man in history. For instance Leon has played David Ruffin, Little Richard, and Jackie Wilson. Besides Denzel is like 53, Sam and Marvin died at 33 and 44 respectively.

[5686JOEL]

I heard this song before and I hated it but

when sam cooke sing this song it sound so

perfect.

[trevycoley83]

thanks for the comment.i'm glad that you like the song.

[belizeambushgal]

@5686JOEL WOW I love san cooke, but this song sound strange to me with an american english accent. and before u get started I'm born american w/ a multi-cultural family and I practice all so I can't be told how to african spanish central- american. american or black.

PEACE. BTY did u hear it harry belafonte? if sorry u did'nt like.

[5686JOEL]

@belizeambushgal I know what you mean, to american it sounds perfect but in spanish it doesn't sound right I understand what you are saying.

[burnley5960]

@belizeambushgal Three people do afirst class job of this one Sam Marty Robbins And Harry Belafonte and it don't get much better than that

[donthoneydont]

i love sam sooooooooooooooo.........

thanks for post.........
