Since I couldn't find this version on youtube in the quality I wanted, I thought I'd do us Sam Cooke fans a favour. This is by far my favourite version of the song and I first heard it on the radio on some nostalgia channel when I was with my first girlfriend. Fond memories, this type of music will never die.

  • hi brialliant artist great voice shame hes gone rip . . . did he get murdered or something i heard dont know anyway he was great bless him forever

  • @castlebar67 It's still a bit of a mystery, never was cleared up. From everything I've read on the subject it looks like a cover-up, but due to the limitations of crime-solving in that decade it was buried.

  • Who still listening Sam Cooke in 2012?\m/

  • @squeakyfromme69

    Exploit? Do you see any ads on it? We don't make anything off it, buddy. We've enjoyed requests for it's use in everything from dentists offices, video educators, to art classes and all the world around. We made it to share joy and a sense of wonder to others and not a penny or personal notoriety. My daughter has been the decision maker over it and wants it were it is.

    In the meantime, fuck you for thinking you're in a position to judge us. Fuck you and your angry will.

  • Sam Cooke inspires me so much. Every lyric every thing about him. Even people with years and years of entertainment behind them cant reach this power he had vocally.

  • @IAKIZabuza That is partially correct indeed. they say, he was 'raping' a girl, she escaped he tried to find her and stumbled on the manager of the hotel. he was aggresive and she took her american right. and shot him 3 times. They say his last words were: lady you shot me. I guess we'll never know if he was going to rape the women. if he really was aggresive etc. What we do know is he is awesome and he should have been here this day.

  • @Cristofor13 I am listenng to him! I will be 16 years old and I so REALLY like this song! And I wish that he was still alive and singing for us now! RIP :( Even though he was before my time, he was by far one of my favorite singers!!! I love Sam Cooke! :):)

  • @madblurb douglas does a fair job but doesn't have cooke's quality of voice. i guess everybody has his opinion.

  • you are alwaus on my mind!!

  • @cory8791 Because he's an elderly gentleman who doesn’t know how to work an iPod :)

  • @Cristofor13 Me and I wasn't even born until he was already dead. So there, smartypants, NOT. 

  • @IAKIZabuza If I remember correctly. He was shot cheating with some woman. I was very sad. He has a great voice
