Sam Cooke - an incomparable voice ... the first time I heard him in the late 50's and every time since .... between Sam & Ricky Nelson there were no better
I don't understand why people cower from comparisons. We wouldn't have ethics if we didn't have others to base things on. No right or wrong. Simply compare respectfully. Nothing wrong with stating who you feel is the better vessel for the tune. I feel it's Sam Cooke and it's not even close. But I like ADELE and I'm thankful that she's keeping so many tunes alive although like Michael Buble, their modern touch can be unwelcome by us who prefer the traditional more complex delivery of the legends.
I've been listening to Adele sing this for ages and always knew that Sam Cooke was the original artist but didn't look this version up until now... he is amazing! No wonder she likes this song so much!
Instead of crapping on adele, we should actually praise her as a contemporary artist with actual talent and songwriting ability. Sure, most people hear a remake or a sample and think "wow great new song" (even though its 50 years old) or totally ignore that many don't write their own songs today. Sam the man was a legend, but dont beat up a glimmer of hope (adele) in a lions den of shit music.
Why are you all getting at this @LeneSoul person. They have an opinion. Adele version is more contemporary than this, which yes, it is a classic. But jesus, stop being dicks to the guy. They like Adele's better, who gives a shit? Doesn't mean they hate this one, doesn't mean they think Sam Cooke is terrible. Stop being so melodramatic and let people have their opinions. Idiots.
i like the original sorry! like seriously get out of here, you just want attention, if you like her version go to it. i'd rather not hear your dumb opinion. sam cooke is a legend, adele is nothing compared to sam cooke. i don't waste my time going to her version and saying i like sam cooke's better. sorry if i lost my cool there but it's really annoying.
Sam Cooke , comment comparer sa voie ?? Vraiment , la façon dont il a était décédé me toucheb
