TJMMinistries, it sounds like you have the playback from the studio session tapes. Is that so?

[TjmMinistries]

@chikkengrease yes

My GOD! That man had alot of SOUL!! ...And i've been a fan for over thirty years! Each time i hear some "new" from SAM i'm amazed all over again.

@melotone That is the Sam Cooke version; not the one on youtube posted by DaEnTaPrise. I don't think the Sam Cooke version in represented on youtube.

Also, catch The Harmonizing Four doing "Farther Along". Check out how it is different form SC and the Soul Stirrers version. An interesting comparison.

However, also on the Specialty - Legends of Gospel "The Soul Stirrers; The Last Mile of the Way" cd you 've got to take a listen to "Lord Remember Me". The best version of that I've heard yet!

@indure08 That is so, so, sad to hear. Somewhat amazing considering that they group was very popular in that time period. I wonder why (emphasis, bold, underline) there is no video history. Thanks for your reply.

[indure08]

@melotone There's a new gospel music documentary out, tracing its history and whatnot, and the producers of the film stated there is no video of Sam with the Soul Stirrers. Tragic.

@TjmMinistries Thank you for this post, my friend.

Does anyone here know of film footage of San Cook with the Soul Stirrers? Indeed, there seems to be very, very little footage of Sam Cook at any time in his career. And then most that I've seen is him on tv shows where either its lips syncd, or the audio and video track are so off that you can't tell its live.

Just want ya'll ta know. I am Sam's biggest fan! Bar none!

[indure08]

HELP! Does anyone know where one can hear (if it even exists) the performance Sam did with the Soul Stirrers for New Years Eve 1962????

[Treavce]
