Sam saw a change in music in 1964...it's what inspired this song...where the beat would take over the lyrics in dictating the song...is that not how it is today?!?!? Everyone is focused on the beat primarily, and the lyric secondary... especially in "black" music...this guy was so visionary, sometimes it makes me "tremble" (ode to his Soul Stirrer days..Nearer to Thee) because of his death...what he would've been, and accomplished, had he lived past 33...
is that young Tina Turner you threw in the background? if it is, what a perfect fit! I've heard her and Ikettes do this song, they did an incredible cover.
the MAGNIFICENT Mr Earl Palmer on the drums.

I take it Sam didn't live long enough to sing it on TV or do a promotional clip (what we later called music video).

Just heard this playing in a shop in London and had to look it up.
So brilliantly Sixties, and very catchy!
Great video clips too...impossible not to cheer up watching this.

The Supremes did this as well, as a tribute, and it's almost as good. But this original is probably the best...

yeah and Rod Stewart did a great track to. Love the soul of Sam Cooke , where as Rod added more rock, but the master is the best.

I wish The Blues Brothers are still around so they can do something cool like this Sam Cooke classic from 1964. It would be so great .
