The man could phrase a song like no other. Effortless vocalization, smooth and sensual. The beginning of a whole new style of singing. More than a legend - an artist who made a very positive difference in the world. How I wish we had singers with one half this talent today - people who actually cared about what they were singing about. Sam always took you on a ride...and he did it with style and a smile. A real gift.

Sam Cooke was the sexiest man in history, and his voice still gives me chills! Thanks for this vid!!! :)
-
I love this tribute, but he started his career as a teenager in the gospel group the Highway QC. Man i would love to hear a cut by them.

awesome tribute to an awesome performer!

@eritreangurrl My personal bias is more toward Sam because I was madly in love and Sam's songs totally fit my emotions at the time. Later, in different circumstances, I became a JAMES fan. SO THERE!!!

@eritreangurrl Why the P---ing over Sam Cooke vs James Brown? I'm a white guy - BUT both were great "soul stirers". Sam's genre was more romantic ballad. James was more "driving rock". Sam evoked touchewy-feely emotions while James inspired jump-and-shout. You might say the difference was Sam was smooth chocolate while James was frantic chips. This white boy completely enjoyed bot singers and appreciated each for his unique styling and talent. Bot had soul. My personal bias is more for Sam.

Sam gets a lot of credit for the things he did, but in my opinon he could never get enough. He was, is and always will be the greatest singer and songwriter and producer of soul!
it angers me a little when I hear James Brown called the godfather of soul. he was good, no disrespect, but he couldn't hold a candle to Sam.
its Sam and Brother Ray and thats all I have to say! excellent vid!

really?? I love me some Sam Cooke (obviously why i made the video!) but I think James Brown definitely deserves the title of Godfather of Soul. I guess everyone has their tastes then

I just want to say that this was a great post. Thank you for it. I am a HUGE Sam Cooke fan. He was a good friend of my Dad's from the Soul Stirrer days. He never forgot his friends when he got big. He even offered to record my Dad on his SAR label(my Dad had an incredible bass voice), but my Dad wanted to stay in the Gospel field. I like the information you gave. Mr. Cooke died before I was born but the stories my Dad and uncles told of him and the Stirrers made me feel like I knew them. Thanks.
