In all do respect to the above comments it is not fair to compare anyone to the great Sam Cooke. Simply said the man was in a class all by himself. Most singers who do remakes do so out of love and respect for the original artist and not for the purpose of "one upping them". Furthermore, though it is okay to compare let us also keep in mind that these artists are usu paying tribute to someone they admire. This is esp true of Al Grn,Rod Stwd and Preston all of whom deeply admired Sam.

I've been told I'm as white as they come. Having disclosed that important piece of information I gotta say no one can do this one with the feeling Sam Cooke did. He didn't try to make it more than his voice conveying his words. Even the overdone post production w/ the orchestral backing didn't take that away. Bottom line, when he recorded his vocals, that's all he cared about; it shows in the sound and that's what makes it truly soulful to me.
