I always liked Sam Cooke and listened to everything he recorded but this song made me realize that he had the finest male voice i have ever heard.

His voice is a cocktail of joyful purity offset by an uninhibited rawness which compliment each other perfectly and were reflected in his lifestyle.

His voice makes me feel comfortable and I stay that way for some time thereafter.

Not many things in my life have been able to do that so thank you to Sam, Youtube and those of you who post his music.

What a stunningly beautiful voice. I like the somewhat jaunty version of this achingly beautiful song.

@TheGockaRocka The ultimate solution is unclear. Both Protestant & Catholic Irishmen around the world use the same lyrics. "Londonerry Air" has a pronounced 'Protestant' connotation. Perhaps the Catholics, nevertheless, love the tune, whilst the Protestants accept the 'Ave' because they are usually, like the Catholics, sufficiently inebriated when they sing 'Danny Boy'. 'A vino ratio est semper occultata." (Horation Odes or, perhaps, Ovid's 'Love Poems') Let's call it a tie! LOL

@TheGockaRocka Well, Kate Smith, Bing Crosby and Perry Como sang 'Danny Boy'...each devout Catholics. It was sung at the funerals of J.F. Kennedy and other prominent Catholics. What seals the deal is the "Ave" in line 12. It refers to the 'Ave Maria' hymn in praise of 'Mary, the Mother of God'. Granted that F. Weatherly, no doubt not a Catholic, the lyrics have a Catholic reference to the Blessed Virgin Mary. This is not in the Protestant or Anglican tradition. (Con't)...

@watchful38 A little research and you will find that this song has no religious persuasion in fact probably leans more to the Protestant faith seeing that it was wrote by an Englishman. Irishman from Ireland.

@lash65 I'm glad Sam sang this Irish Cathoic hymn. Presently I connect Sam Cooke & Ricky Nelson because of their sad deaths. Yes, Sam's voice has something comforting and encouraging in it. And I notice he also sang "Canadian Sunset". Sam is gone now some 50 years, but He lives on in our hearts & in Heaven, I'm sure. A retired Cathoilic priest in Canada.

Good song but too much soul for this Irishman.

[Texasalchymyst]

Fablous. That really takes me back.

@WALTERBROADDUS I think the world would be unrecognisable had he lived for even just a few more years.
