If you look on my channel, and scroll back to the first songs I started with, You'll see I began with SAM. The first song I happened to put on was "Ain't That Good News" I am proud wo say I began my Channel with Sam Cooke.

Lawd Sam had some singing in him! Great tune by the best soul singer of them all!

[RadioCarino]

@jimidee33 This was about his finest song ever. Very beautiful song...I appreciate the comment.  Thank you for tuning in

@RadioCarino You're welcome. This song is bittersweet for me as I spent the summer at my grandmothers when it was a hit. I was eight years old and felt like I was in prison as she wouldn't let us out of the yard. My dad was in jail as well! Things turned out alright however. I actually have trouble picking a Sam favorite but this one has the most meaning. I enjoy everything he did!

[RadioCarino]

@jimidee33 I'm with you on the Sam Favorite...I have listened to him nearly all my life...I am 48 yrs old now.

I remember when I first heard "Wonderful World" I went to my brother adn asked, "Who is THAT ?" It sounded to me like nothing I had ever heard. Then, I heard "Only Sixteen" , and "Having a Party".

I was just introducing myself to oldies, and I had never heard anyone get into my soul like this before.

It is tough to pick a "favorite", so, I'll just say HE is my favorite

Any time Sam Cooke sings, his voice seems to come to you from a thousand miles away, from a thousand years ago.... it might as well come from heaven.

[RadioCarino]

@Oceanmachine27  .... of all the Sam Cooke songs, this is my favorite one. It is haunting, it is beautiful, it is melodic, is is close to the perfect song. Absolutely one of the best ever.

Would've liked to hear Amy Winehouse re-make this one. :/

I am glad another generation loves Sam Cooke. I heard his songs when they were new. We lost him too early.
