      This was a watered down version for TV. He was better than that he was amazing! if you could catch him in a black club singing, how ever you couldn't be too black on TV then, so you had to give a watered down version of your hit song at that time. Sad but that's just how it was. Another thing white America and in the deep south for sure would change the channel when a black artist would come on.

      Don’t make the mistake that just because someone is a truly gifted singer they cannot be a complicated human being. While I wasn’t there on the night of his getting shot, accounts by the motel manager (a black woman) and the female guest he took to the motel are pretty damning. It appears both accounts point to someone who seemed to have some kind of sex addiction in how he forced himself onto the girl and practically raped her before she escaped (her words) and then he charged naked into the manager’s office paranoidly assuming she was hiding the girl.

    The aura surrounding Sam Cooke is unreal; almost mythical. His talent and charisma were so enormous, without footage like this and his recordings, the sheer mention of him might’ve caused some folks to wonder if he really existed. While I am a fan of his, whoever placed Elvis ahead of Sam Cooke on Rolling Stone’s list of ‘The 100 Greatest Singers of All Time’ must not have seen or heard this incredible performance. His legions of fans across the world are blessed to have access to this footage.

Well I played it and around the 0:27 mark I could see a tear roll down her face. then another tear. I knew she was having a flashback because she squeezed my hand.

    This brother was flawlessly hitting so many vocal gears that somebody in the background let out a great primal scream at about 01:33.
    I guess that's about the only way to respond to such a display of unreal talent as Sam Cooke possessed. I guess that If he was in Teddy Pendergrass or Barry White's time there would have been many panties thrown up there on that stage for such a mindblowing performance. He was truly a vocal beast, no doubt about it.

    Sam Cooke il più grande cantante soul di sempre, cantava con una maestria e un'originalità formidabili ai suoi tempi, tanto che divenne poi un'icona d'ispirazione per molti cantanti e musicisti nei decenni che seguirono. Il suo brano "A change is gonna come" é da accostare a "imagine" di John Lennon come canzone del secolo.

    There are no singers like that, today. And...(I'm not gay), but this man, always fascinated me how handsome he was...

    And that bass guitar in the background made the song more intense...Sounds like doo-wop all by itself...
    Sam Cooke was ahead of his time.
    WOW 🌹🌹🌹

      That wasn't a bass. That's Clifford "Cliff" M White playing those wonderful guitar riffs.
      His signature is all over Sam Cooke's recordings. May they both rest in Peace.
