  • @casullen Lol! Funny thing is that I have all of the songs listed above but YT has given me a hard time about the whole copyright jazz.They told me one more copyrighted post and they're gonna erase my account.So I'm kinda walkin' on thin ice.

  • can anyone get me faraway places and bali high by sam cooke

  • I have them. I'll try to post them, hopefully they don't get me again, last time they stripped my songs from my channel due to the whole copyright bull.

  • I love this...especially since its about JA. =)

  • Magic. He just has of way singing that's unique to him. Looked for this for so long. Thanks and bless you!

  • Sam's version of this song is the most musical of all versions!

  • sam's voice is always guarantee of adding something extra to the song..

  • "down the way where nights were gay" someone from the current generation just wouldn't get the right idea.

  • my heart is down, my head is turning around....i had to leave my parents in Jam Jam and turn to london for work. No contest - i'm home sick !
