Sam Cooke- Another Saturday Night

[PerrriehPC]

sam is legend<333 

[judgehodges1]

i personaly think he was set up by the police because he was one of the first self titled artist and he was black with a dont care attitude and they didn' like that shit and the girl he was with knew that and the black oman tha shot him was just a patsy.

[dannybans23]

Haha Sam knows whats good

[ScotsmanRex]

Then Cat Stevens did a pretty good version of this song as well.

[182Lilica]

Amazing ! Love Sam Cooke !

[666saywhat666]

Swingin' with two chicks on my arm. I want to go home to.

[RianTrace84]

This song sums up how I feel right now.

[mudsharkkiller]

The greatest crooner in american history!........... RIP Sam Cooke

[cartier557]

MUSIC NEVER GETS OLD!

[PRR5406]

Very interesting man with a unique voice and delivery. Money and sex cost him his life, but it doesn't diminish his talent and impact on all of us. I wish he had lived for many more decades. He was very intelligent, a voracious reader. At least we have the recordings.

[TheCarKid97]

@PRR5406: If you believe the alleged story of his death, I've got a real nice bridge to sell you...

[PRR5406]

@TheCarKid97 Kindly amplify your theory of Sam's death. My guess is he picked up a prostitute, a "high end girl", and was set up for a robbery. His temper exploded, due to anger and the booze he had consumed that night, and the motel manager shot him as he railed at her. I haven't seen evidence in Peter Guralnik's book or on line to repudiate that idea. What do you know?

[TheCarKid97]

@PRR5406: Peter Guralnick's book is excellent, but goes off of reports that were filed in the mid-1960s. He says that nobody doubts the police reports (and he's proud of having the reports), but I think that's his error. Taking the police reports as fact is taking the motel owner's racially-biased story as fact, and that's not right. Her story is circumstantial evidence at best, and that 'evidence' is the victim her own racism, and as such I think we'll never know exactly what happened.

[PRR5406]

@TheCarKid97 Oh, I got some of what you said from the book. I wonder if the case was re-opened today, if any light could be shed on the murder. A physical autopsy of the skeletal remains would be a good start. If the bone dame is as bad as the family claimed and Guralnik alleges, we might get closer to truth. Sam's murder was closed pretty quickly, in my opinion, since her was black, hung with a drug using crowd, was intoxicated, and a symbol of black upward mobility.

[gol7on4]

Sam and Johnny Maestro are 2 of my favorites.2 really great and distinctive voices.

[dooondy5656]

and the strange thing is im dominican but i grew up in usa and i fell in love with his voice

[dooondy5656]

im a white kid and im only 22 but i dont give a fuck what people think or say , i will aways listen to his music

[dooondy5656]

this music keeps me going in life and working out in the gym,sam i will aways remember you from the bottom of my heart,long live his music

[dooondy5656]

man thank u so much for this video i love this guy,what a voice what a singer

[dooondy5656]

what a great singer this guy was god what a voice now thats music right there im white but this guy i love

[MonkeyHunch]

this version is better than cats,, but cat wrote his own songs too that are fricken great !

[MrYadlladeewekoms]

Lol I typed in "money on this town" and found this song now I bought it off iTunes and listen to it every day xD

[tuesdaycaine75]

really 21 dislikes! why?

[thecolaratlady]

@tuesdaycaine75 I guess they prefer that freak demonic islamic Cat Stevens version. that fuck cant sing for shit and RUINED this SAM COOKE CLASSIC

[MonkeyHunch]

@thecolaratlady no need to be like that..Cat stevens and Sam cooke are fucking excellent.. Cat couldnt sing? get your ears tested. . This is what Cat listened to as he grew up and his version was a tribute. He doesnt claim to be better than sam cooke,, And i`m sure that Sam cooke would appreciate another artist paying tribute,,,, why the hate????and what does religion have to do with this song?

[Carolitoh]

Sam Cooke was smooth as silk.

[larabina34]

@Carolitoh Oh yes he was!! I cant believe even ONE dislike on him-even my kids know whats great!!

[Carolitoh]

@larabina34 I know!! Sam Cooke was the King of Cool before there was a king of anything in music. I guess someone is just jealous. Sam may be gone but his talent lives on.

[endgame999]

had always thought cat stephens wrote this lol

[josephferrerosa34]

She had a strange resemblance

To a cat named Frankenstein...

LMAO! I never caught that before, but omg that made me laugh when I heard it!

[RedDKWoW]

@josephferrerosa34 Gives me a good laugh everytime too

[thecolaratlady]

@josephferrerosa34 HAHA! Isnt he wonderful? G*d rest his soul

[palebluedot4ev]

man this sums up my saturday night for sure. nobody to do nothing with.... as the song goes, "How i wished i had someone to talk to"

[chugo312]

omg such a wonderful voice

[tonny1alvarez]

CUANDO ESCUCHO ESTE TIPO DE CANCIONES... PIDO PERDÓN ALA VIDA EN NOMBRE DE TODA MI GENERACIÓN. POR LA ABERRACIÓN, INVENTADA POR MIS CONTEMPORANEOS LLAMADA REGGETON.

[landeratty]

So amazingly simple and so wonderful!!!

[janspray]

Love this song! Sam Cooke has great style--wish he were still around.

[DEEHARDONE]

Sam Cooke...Amazing

[bignz721]

Back in the days when black men would write songs about NOT getting laid

[MrFuckinmoron]

@bignz721 Really Well Thats Your View Great Song By A Guy That Was Way Ahead Of His Time Entertainers Today Take Note

[freedomdragon76]

@bignz721 LOL That was a good one :D

[superugly75]

[asianwhitenigger]

[noalittleaboutlot]

My favoite Sam Cooke song. Thank you for posting. Love it ; D

[betterbringatowl]

[elliot11ification]

[nickman8559]

how ironic, he wished he had someone, he got her, she took his money, and got him killed..... smh, this world, Music misses you Sam

[112aarons]

Sam Cooke was out there cheated. He got killed by a woman he knew that was high @ the time

[Irishsilver22]

@112aarons

He was MURDERED by a prostitute ring!!!

[TheChunlilover]

She had a strange resemblance to a cat name Frankenstein.lmao

[ieatlilcarr0tz]

Sam Cooke was innocent! He was murdered!

[wheels0981]

classic! thats all that needs to be said

[kennymac520]

BRILLIANT what a legend glad we remember him

[SidJustice22]

God damnit I love you Sam!!

[1erjuillet]

il existe aussi une version francaise chantée par claude francois dans les années 70 "la vie d'un homme est toujours un chemin difficile"

[dthrilla82]

some say he paved the way for r&b

[Tonithenightowl]

He was easy on the ears. Not too loud, not too soft, clear as a bell and delivered a song with emotion ( well at least while he was singing it). Patsy Cline did the same thing, that's why she's a legend too.

[pspiddy]

He can sing. He wants ass. Simple. Stop being so complicated in the comments.

[dancountyfc]

@pspiddy sam cooke was gay? :O

[kenshirothefist3000]

good soul song

[JORGEPSOUSA911]

Cat Stevens' version was very good. But this one's still the best!

[DEBRACRANFORD]

I love this song.....I have been humming it all day. Happily!

[pspiddy]

Take 8. Because, you know, the previous 7 were crap.

[tryby12]

[denisjl100]

[thecolaratlady]

[mikefromAG]

[Lloydhl]

Wonderful, Sam was awesome, loved most or all of his songs!

[sandysockhop]

I love this song my all time favorite.. . sam cooke song

[UZUAKPUNDU]

Way back in the '60s: "Those, indeed, were the happy days," with the Great Sam Cooke ruling the airwaves. UZUAKPUNDU

[Ljslovenc]

[Ljslovenc]

[Hijo187]

[CharlesVariations]

Wow...this song is all too true to my life, especially my saturday nights.

Sucks..

[juls683]

what about blowing this town you dont like? He simple means' he have to leave this town'

[ecnalubma696969]

I agree with all of it except the part about blowing the town.

[nomiclas]

@ecnalubma696969 get your mind out of the gutter.

[theuniqueoneable]

this song is about me i swear lol

[nickums69]

Great Video! This song is the story of my Life. LOL LOL!! :(

[koolluva]

@nickums69 Mine too =[

[TheCoolgio11]

@nickums69

[juls683]

Any one knows his gosple titles?

[nickums69]

@juls683 Check your "Inbox" I sent a URL.. :)

[Stockboy7304]

@PRADAPAPE I agree.  Sam was a beast in Gospel music.

[Stockboy7304]

She had a strange resemblance

To a cat named Frankenstein. LMBO. Been there and done that, lol.

[Martina1404]

<3

[soneromygz3]

THIS SONG WAS TRANSLATE TO SPANISH BY CHARLIE ROBLES WHO RECENTLY DIE...OTRO SABADO MAS

[allgoo19]

Commoner's song everybody can relate to. ^_^

This guy could make a song from nothing people would normally pay attention to.

[BoomDoneNext]

DIG THIS!!! smile people!!! we alive!!! hahhaha TWO CHICKS ON MY ARM! hahah

[PRADAPAPE]

THIS WASNT HIS PASSION. HE'S BETTER ON GOSPEL

[BoomDoneNext]

@PRADAPAPE stop... just stop...

[ElizabethGS]

@PRADAPAPE I don't think that's entirely accurate. While Sam grew up on Gospel music it was NOT his passion. He seems to have preferred to sing his own music by all accounts I've ever read and heard about him. 'Some' people who wanted him back in the fold didn't like him out there in the secular world so promulgated those stories, but frankly - he sounds very sincere on songs such as 'Bring it on Home to Me' and 'Change is Gonna Come'. They've lived on as stunning songs till this day.

[stopdong22]

Fab,,,, just.... fab..

[LordWeregerbil]

This is my song now! I heard this and I was like "that is so me". In my opinion it isn't a sad song, it's like just sayin' y'all. Maybe I'm crazy. but that's what I think

[hamilton59840]

I can easily relate to this song as I'm

always having trouble getting a date in an

apathetic small town.

[UZUAKPUNDU]

"This song always takes me back to a night club in Amsterdam in the 60s where serving members of NATO Forces based in Germany used to meet to while away their weekends. There were British squaddies, GIs, Canadians, French and Dutch. We had fantastic time with the local ladies. Good old Sam Cooke and Solomon Burke were our favourite songs to dance to, those indeed were the happy days." I agree. NDUKA UZUAKPUNDU.

[midnitemover123]

The ''pipes'' on this cat are UNBELIEVABLE...

[TheThroney]

i like when my elders tell stories about the old days on these oldies comments sections

[johnny2phatty]

I wish Sam lived longer.. i mean No one would of been able to touch him. dont getme wrong im a huge elvis fan .. But people who be visiting his house too!!

[ladiiCraziiBaBy]

dis iz music now aday song iz not music

[usarik43]

Not only a great voice, but a great song writer and talent !!! We need more performers like him. We miss you Sam.

[V2PWB]

Sam Cooke-Another Saturday Night.....An all time classic.

[V2PWB]

Sam Cooke-Another Saturday Night.....An all time classic.

[Clumsythumbs]

His voice has the clarity and tenor of a saxaphone! No autotune crap here. We miss you Sam!

[MultiHondaa]

that don't sound like sam

[indure08]

"...had a strange resemblance to a cat named Frankenstein..." funny...haha+ha...

[gannongoets]

16 fools don't like Saturday night

[retrochic80]

I like how it sounds as if he's saying, "Sad day night"

[mjjcng8958]

@retrochic80 lo :0 that's that southern twang

[bob19624]

WHAT CAN I SAY,,,BEAUTIFULL MEMORIES..I'LL NEVER FORGET THEM.GROWING UP IN ELIZABETH,NJ.IN THE 60'S AND 70'S LISTENING TO SAMMY IN THE AM DIAL..BEAUTIFULL VOICE..

[tex2034]

They say thing come full circle. Please god let this style of music come back.

[UrbanGypsy27]

Man, the memories! I look back at the artists from this era, the way they felt their music, the moves, the voices, the out and out talent. They were simply judged on the quality of their music! Nowadays, Wow, such a fuss made of Gaga et al...why? Without the same media bandwaggon, without Simon Cowell, without twitter etc, would many of todays artists have hit such heights back in the day...hell no!!!

[AudioInklined]

His voice is so full of life and emotion, you can really feel it come through. Thanks sam for contributing to good music.

[babcha2590]

This song helps me get through the fact that every saturday night, i aint got nobody lol. Great Song!

[bagman4175]

16 people wouldn't know good music if it bit 'em in the ass.

[draken3314]

this probably inspired "Sunday Morning" by Sugar Ray

[kris1977able]

Sam Cooke Rocks!! Thanks for posting. He was a great person and a superstar!!

[mkl62]

A #1 hit for Sam Cooke on the Rhythm & Blues charts. It was his last #1 hit. It was also the 112th #1 R&B song of the Rock Era. It also hit #10 on the Top 40 charts.

[7da7n37]

This song is fantastic! love it

[macvatu]

This song always takes me back to a night club in Amsterdam in the 60s where serving members of NATO Forces based in Germany used to meet to while away their weekends. There were British squaddies, GIs, Canadians, French and Dutch. We had fantastic time with the local ladies. Good old Sam Cooke and Solomon Burke were our favourite songs to dance to, those indeed were the happy days.

[Daisymight]

@macvatu Thanks for sharing that memory. I loved reading it.

[butch824]

this has to be a remaster, cause everything sounds so fucking clear!

[Mickieshelton]

Legendary. I can never get enough of Sam Cooke

[ametllet]

This song is the best!!!

[Sharkymalark]

Its just you Funechrist!

[MrJohn1525]

vraiment pas pire

[4677noel]

this is real music way to go sam

[Funechrist]

Is it just me or is he sing "oh how i wished i had some shit to talk to?" O.o

[carrotjuse]

@Funechrist  .. some chick to talk to

[uzuhl2]

@Funechrist "Some chick to talk to."

[TheGreatDeciever55]

damn this is gooooooooooood

[infamyspl]

So much style

[johnnypstillh2o]

It was really really common for white singers to cover black R&B songs back in this era, although, Cat stevens' version was quite a while after Sam's. Both songs are good... Sam has one of the best voices ever, and Cat has a good voice too with a certain quality that makes it great. I definitely like Sam's version better, but I don't think Cat ruined the song by any means, it is an amazing song with hilarious lyrics. haha

[BarstoolBlues33]

Cat Stevens played the song because he loved it and that's fine with me. He's a great songwriter/lyricist and singer on his own. He didn't try to make the song his own, but seemed to play it out of the sheer joy of just playing a great song and there is nothing wrong with that.

[Shamrockette]

Best version of this song, no question

[salupaginahit]

don't hate others for copying.it's an emulation...real music lovers know the deal....the instruments in this song just get you twitching.make me wanna dance.

[Gdev02]

Oh sam..... you beautiful man <3

[mjg032]

16 people have no clue what great music is!!!!!

[SEEdestinyCLEARLY]

Sam Cooke was Handsome!

[thighmister]

@SEEdestinyCLEARLY Think?

[chriscope123]

I had no idea Sam Cooke did this

[thighmister]

@chriscope123  I hate Cat Stevens for popularizing his mangled version of this song and eclipsing this one, til now. Thank god for youtube.

[TheCowstabber]

songs like this aren't made anymore and preformers like sam cooke aren't around anymore, this is great music that anyone can listen too.

[iamanarchy4u]

one of the greatest records ever made. love and anarchy to everyone

[niloc1949]

I used to dance to sam at the kirklevington club uk on a saturday night and i'm awhite man Great Memorys of The mowtown Sound.Saw all the brothers at the Kirk,BB king Martha And Van Mary Wells,ANd Geno Wash. was a reg..remember the mynah bird at the crown next door ,.could cuss as good as any patron.

[jayesh211000]

@niloc1949

I used go to The peoples on Praed St, Paddington and loved the music. I am an Indian.

[ghostly39]

[kelkel75]

I love this song!!

[ravie6973]

Every song is beautiful. They really don't make them like this anymore.

[MrGotmymojoworkin]

He's brilliant, isn't he. This is really cool. Cat Steven's version is totally different - it could almost be another song but that version is really great also. Cat's version has got a stunning trumpet break on it too. I like listening to both of 'em one after the other . Which is why I'm gonna play Cat's one now. I strongly suggest you do the same.

[TheIkawatay]

ho's the answer of spending yo muneyz, i knuw i do!;P

[peasah2005]

Brother Sam Cooke is the greatest soul legend of our times.

Sam was full of grace, love and he was the dynamic soul singer of all-time.

Brother Sam Cooke was brutally taken away from our souls, but and the biggest but of them all, he will be soul forever more.

Brother Sam Cooke is the greatest.

[dannycapone24]

us lonely dudes can't relate to this classic song xD

[peasah2005]

Brother Sam Cooke is the greatest soul legend in the world.

The man was so sensational when it came to his breathtaking soul classics.

Brother Sam Cooke- the man and my man of all-times.

[landcaster11]

This song almost exactly explains my saturday night. Even though its sad, the song makes me feel better.

[PaulXPZ]

@landcaster11 I feel you brother! I'm in the same rut!

[focusone610]

Love him ...

[DAUROIS1]

French version by Claude françois.

[TheFofifonfec]

@DAUROIS1 I can't find it ! :(

[DAUROIS1]

@TheFofifonfec  French version by Claude François : " La vie d'un homme" (1975).

[Musicismylife8082]

So funny story about this song... Funny but kinda sad.... I work as a cashier at a restaurant an last night (Saturday night) a man in his 30s came in alone and he started eating and this same came on and he started singing it and i felt really bad for him but i couldnt help laughing..

[Istaygutter]

So much better than Wacka Flacka lol

[bowlermikey]

Another one of those songs. Easy for Sam.... But almost toooo good!????
