    Only Sixteen - 20 Greatest Hits

    The Wonderful World of Sam Cooke - 40 Great Memories

    You Send Me - Starlite (Right On version)

    Says Written by his brother LC cooke but its most likey Sam

  • @MrSoulSamCooke Thanks for the reply :) Was LC a song writer?

  • @MsTruthFinder101 He was a singer and songwriter

    During the late '50s, Sam Cooke found himself trapped in an interlocking array of recording and publishing contracts that weren't going to take him anywhere. "You Send Me," "You Were Made for Me," "Win Your Love for Me," "I Don't Want to Cry," and "That's All I Need to Know" ended up credited to L.C. Cook in order to prevent them, as Sam Cooke compositions, from falling into the hands of the latter's earlier publishers.

  • The best pop song "you send me" ever written and the best vocalist who ever lived , the only time id ever thank god is for people like sam cooke , otis redding, al green , joe tex, john lennon , and a shit load of others if i had to dip into other genres :) i could go on for hours , il stop now

  • To who wants to find these demo tapes: You can find "I Need You Now" on record. It's the B-side to "Happy In Love". The label number is "Specialty 667". Only 3 copies are on ebay as I'm writing this. When you're on ebay, just type "Sam Cooke Happy In Love" and you'll find it. I'm still searching to find the "You Send Me" demo tape. I will be posting the "I Need You Now" single on my Sam Cooke youtube account. When I upload it, I will post it as a video response to this one. I hope that helps :)

  • Great music!

  • This man had so much pathos in his voice, it sends chills up my spine. He was a credit to his race: The human race. Not only was he a brilliant r&b and pop artist, he may have been the greatest gospel voice to have ever sounded out, which is quite an accomplishment, especially given the awesome talent pool in that genre. His loss was huge, but only because his body of work and his personality were so epic. Sincere gratitude for posting this lost treasure!

  • @MrSoulSamCooke Thanks so much, man!

  • Beautiful voice. I believe he was murdered and then it was covered up with the hotel nonesense. Somebody knows something, and it will come out.

  • @711god It is indeed Sam, also its him that is strumming the guitar. what a voice.
