That uniquely improvised "intro" is so Sam Cooke. Just fabulous. Velvet yodeling to the utmost... as only Sam Cooke could do. His singing is so dreamy. No wonder the women were so enthralled with this tall thin handsome brother who sang like an angel.
Sam's phrasing and adlibbing and creative use of the musical scale was unmatched in music history Add a voice from the heavens above and you have the greatest singer who ever lived
Ok here we are in all I'm going to say i hope and pray that it's not taken the wrong way and that it helps us all, Sam was an awesome brother and singer performer yet he was killed and his life taken too early but when I listen to his songs they move me to thk Jesus 🙏 for giving us a way home so when our time comes to leave this world we can be in that ☁️ cloud of witnesses as Sam is with so many others so thank you Father for loving us enough to give all you have and again the enemy looses and we win in Jesus name amen Amen Amen
Flawless performance. Been gone 56 years and still remains in our hearts. Tragically torn from us at such a young age. Beautiful voice, beautiful character. A true professional artist. Rest easy with your brother LC Sam xx
When I was a boy my grandpa used to take me in the car and we would drive while listening to this song. He was sick before I was born and he was sick the entire time I knew him and just recently he passed away. Ever since I lost him listening to these songs have brought a tear to my eye so thank you for posting this
Yes do it! They do it all the time in Chicago. But, listening to Sam's makes me want to stand on a street corner and scream his name out loudly multiple times.....Sam! Sam! Sam! Sam! Sam! Sam! Sam! Sam! Sam! Please Come Back!!!
I loved and still do love Sam's beautiful voice. Sam was very handsome and Gorgeous as Hell! He cared about people as well and didn't let his success go to his head. Today's singer (some of them, maybe most) are not like that.
Beautiful - as you'd expect from Sam Cooke. Why can't someone get ALL of the Sam Cooke footage left and put onto a DVD? While they are at it, do the same for his great friend Jackie Wilson x
"I'd watch the living mess out of both of them night & day!!! I study Jackie Wilson & him, i emulate them almost to a t........ They are two of my biggest heroez!!!!!! I look to them boyz something serious..........." {Fye O aka Ex Pimp}
"Sam Cooke Iz indeed a master for me.... . I look to him!!! I study his every lil move, know a lot of his songz az of the moment.......... LOVE THIZ DUDE!!?! I look to Jackie Wilson az well...... Very talented, fye artists!!!!! I'm obsessed with them both, I'm not Gon quit til I get enough!!!!!!!! " \Fye O aka Ex Pimp\
I have not ever seen this...I literally have chills...Sam Cooke...you were simply the Greatest...You were already gone by the time I got here ...and because you were stolen from Black Community...You were still a household name back then. Sam, I have listen to your music, studied your phrasing, your velvet smooth voice for my whole entire life! And will continue until I get past Peter at the Pearly Gates!! One of the first I will look for will be You. We Still Love You!! Rest Easy, Sam.
I am a drummer and singer and bandleader who has worked with many name people. I am so thrilled to read people's comments of appreciation of what they are seeing here in this LIVE performance. There were a handful of singers with the type of "bell clear" intonation of Sam Cooke. A few that come to my mind are Johnny Moore of The Drifters (Under The Boardwalk), Bill Kenny from The Ink Spots, Tony Williams from The Platters, and Rudy West from The 5 Keys. Sam Cooke also had a presence, stride, an inate hipness, charm, and personal appeal that made him irresistible.
Hi Jo, I agree totally with all you say and the named singers - Moore , Kenny,, Williams and West all fabulous vocalists. with great groups . In case you haven't seen it yet , the Ed Sullivan Channel has just up loaded Sam on the Sullivan show from 1957 singing Sentimental Reasons - lovey print and wonderful version! Do you know the Jesse Belvin version of the song that/s a beauty too?
@@kensmith8546 I viewed that 1957 video of Sam on the Ed Sullivan Show singing Sentimental Reasons. Sam had a beautiful smile with beautiful white teeth. I wish I could just KISS his lips with teeth in between!!!
"Lol in secular that title goes to MJ . . On the gospel side, itz Sam Cooke!!!!! His voice waz stronger than Mike'z, but it didn't sound better!!!? MJ THE BEST MALE VOCALIST TO EVER HIT EARTH.... His voice waz nearly a flawless victory!!!!!!!" °Fye O aka Ex pimp°
WOW... I'm literally speechless at this man's vocal capacity! Absolutely downright phenomenal! It's simply breathtaking- him oozing each note like liquid gold. I really love this downplayed medley of both top hit classics of 'Sentimental reasons' & 'You send me'. You can tell with Cooke's overall demeanor, class and swag, that he was unlike any other, his remarkable God-given talent was simply unmatched and it's clear to see that he was truly way ahead of his time. He was a timeless performer and could have very well in our era today, as I say this with true conviction, would have accumulated the exact level/ stardom of fame that he achieved mid-century. It is a real shame that he met an untimely death at such a young age. However, I truly believe that there are only a few people to possess the level of charm, class, charisma, and pure talent to remain an everlasting legacy and it's plausible to say that, Sam Cooke remains to epitomise just that!
Sam, your beautiful and heavenly voice puts me in a trance. When I listen to your music, the tone and mood of your songs takes me away to a Calgon Bath and the Twilight Zone. Your music definitely takes me away from the troubles in the world of 2021. Oh how I wish you were alive and well because "Darling You Send Me." I miss you Sam and will always love you. Rest now in God's care precious!!!
Wow ! Listen to that amazing voice that GOD only gave to Sam Cooke and thank you GOD for the gift that you gave us while Sam was traveling here on this 🌎 earth that you created. 🎶🎹🎺🎵🎹 March 17,2019
I'm awestruck... These are two of my favorite songs by Sam, by anyone period! I did not know there was this video, what a special treat... You-oo-oo-ooh
Even the great late Jackie Wilson said that Sam Cooke can only be explained by God yes if God came down to earth as a singer he would have came as Sam Cooke just like Jesus say I believed to be 33 best God's number 33 rest in peace Jackie Wilson and Sam Cooke 2 greatest of all time
Yes, and that smooth operator, Sam, could operate on me any day without anesthesia. I would just lay there and let him do whatever he wish and use that special tool ( if you know what I mean) on me. Whoooo, Yeaaaa!!!!
Thank you for your contact. Do you Like Sam Cooke? My favorite singer!! I will be able to live up to your hope. However It takes time. So If you are satisfied and then up.
This statement is not to sam cooke for he can not hear me it is to you, all ways walk close to the Lord of host sam cooke almost ran a perfect race but fell short as we all do or have, turn neither to the left nor to the right from following clothes with the Lord of host May the Lord speed to your every need defense and every need amen 🙏 🙌 may GOD speed to your need.
Pride before a fall when death overshadow and overpower us no matter how much pride we have we are unable to rise or twitch so be proud of the Almighty which his Mercy is restored to us every morning and when we leave from here forevermore 🙏 amen .
That uniquely improvised "intro" is so Sam Cooke.
Just fabulous. Velvet yodeling to the utmost... as only Sam Cooke could do.
His singing is so dreamy.
No wonder the women were so enthralled with this tall thin handsome brother who sang like an angel.
my heart aches with pain when I see this.......you should be alive Sam. We love you.
I agree. Or should have lived a lot longer than he had at least
I always thought that! A voice like no other
yes!
love you so much!!!
I wonder what really happened the night he was killed 🤔
Sam's phrasing and adlibbing and creative use of the musical scale was unmatched in music history
Add a voice from the heavens above and you have the greatest singer who ever lived
oh yeah!!!!
Yes to the Yes!!!
So freaking gorgeous, also
You got that right!
THE CONFIDENCE AND SWAG OF SAM COOKE IS BREATHTAKING!
you're so right!! but he wasn't arrogant A unique and brilliant person
Yes, and a total Gentleman that Sam!
Ok here we are in all I'm going to say i hope and pray that it's not taken the wrong way and that it helps us all, Sam was an awesome brother and singer performer yet he was killed and his life taken too early but when I listen to his songs they move me to thk Jesus 🙏 for giving us a way home so when our time comes to leave this world we can be in that ☁️ cloud of witnesses as Sam is with so many others so thank you Father for loving us enough to give all you have and again the enemy looses and we win in Jesus name amen Amen Amen
Sam Cooke is Unreal. Man this Cat could sang
Agree and Amen!!! Sam could sing well and he was the "Biggest Cooke in Town"!!!
The most improvisational adlibbing creative singer in music history
Amen!!!
Flawless performance. Been gone 56 years and still remains in our hearts. Tragically torn from us at such a young age. Beautiful voice, beautiful character. A true professional artist. Rest easy with your brother LC Sam xx
Amen. Sam will always and forever be in my heart.

Yes do it! They do it all the time in Chicago. But, listening to Sam's makes me want to stand on a street corner and scream his name out loudly multiple times.....Sam! Sam! Sam! Sam! Sam! Sam! Sam! Sam! Sam! Please Come Back!!!

😂 just make sure your prepared because he makes it look easy 😂.
@@markjefferson2434 😂😂
How any-one with ears can give this a thumbs down boggles the mind.
That person has no ears, that's how.
some people loved Pat Boone
Hello, were you on the Sam Cooke's fan club on Facebook?
isnt that something? That is why you must always be aware of evil,it is always lurking in the presence of good due to jealousy.
The answer is ABKCO..the ones responsible 4 killing him... Do ur home work Peace!
What a beautiful voice Sam had and he was strikingly handsome. Shouldn't have been taken away so soon.
I loved and still do love Sam's beautiful voice. Sam was very handsome and Gorgeous as Hell! He cared about people as well and didn't let his success go to his head. Today's singer (some of them, maybe most) are not like that.

I have it all on Dvd
That would be wonderful, but hell, I can't get nothing done around my house as it is now because I'm always listening to Sam and Jackie.
@@valeriebyrd70 😂
2022 and Sam Cooke is still the best to have ever done it , no one comes close 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾♥️
He could charm the birds out of the trees.
He (Sam) could make the crickets chirp and hop with joy and me cry with the emotions.
THE FIRST 7 SECONDS, YOU WILL REALIZE YOU'RE LISTENING TO THE MASTER..
yes!
masa rabbit spot on . Sam was the greatest singer who ever lived hands down
Oh yes indeed!
Tyrone norfleet Norfleet absolutely
The intro confirms that sam was the most creative singer of all time
"Sam Cooke Iz indeed a master for me....

How about Clyde McPhatter also
His voice is so soothing, sang it baby! If only we could go back in time.
Thank You!! I think so. We were enjoyed his voice!!
If I could go back in time, I would warn Sam and geared him towards me instead. He would have been alive, well, and loved.
That was smooth, very relaxing..
Yes, like a Calgon Bath!
That transition was so smooth damn he had a voice for singing
The picture quality may be worn out by the passing of time, but the music is truly timeless.
I could listen to Sam all day.
“The One and Only, Sam Cooke” , the marvelous vocals of the “ Man Who Invented Soul “ has delivered as only he can do.
The angels listened in . Sam was the greatest most compelling singer who ever lived. Spine tingling voice that moves you to the soul
Amen!!!
He was un-matched!!!! Fantastic... I wish he had lived longer.. World is a worse place because of it.
Yes!!!
Sam Cooke had best voices I ever heard.
I agree!!!
he gave so much joy and beauty to the world
@@leoadams1527 I agree. Never heard,ever, anything even close. Just magical!!!
