a change is not yet come...

damn this cover is right on the heels of the late great Sam Cooke's rendition. And I have always said this song should never be covered.
-
Cooke's is still the definitive version however this recording by Solo is just as haunting. Some other great performances of this song by Otis, Seal, Anthony Hamilton and of course Luther. Great singers all but the song itself......... that's what the deal is. Best song Cooke ever wrote and his last hit.

@nickisc2006 its been a loong time comin!!!!!

Also, Solo has a Sam Cooke connection, he is Sam Cookes cousin. Which explains why for years noone came close to doing the song as well as Solo does. It is in the DNA! Still, it is a hard song to cover because people try so hard not to sound like Cooke, and the melody and pace doesn't allow the singer to venture too far from form. Unless you can change the arraingment a little, as with some of the vocal groups, it's hard to make any dramatic changes in this song. Malik Jubal

Malik Jubal-This Solo version was my favorite until I heard Seal's version. I think Seal's voice and oh my God, the superior, enigmatic orchestration of Seal's version makes it the best to date. Seal didn't sing it hard, as most people do when they cover this song. Seal flowed with the orchestration and the lyrics. Solo's version, the singer sings it almost like he's at a funeral, where as Seal's is more inspirational. Both do well. Malik Jubal
