Lol My parents were teens in the 50's and I grew up listening to all their records. I've been a rocker ever since. It's a memory that will stay with me forever. RIP Sam Cooke.

@@nicero870 Thank you for your response. It's a wonderful memory that's remained with me my whole life. I wish it was 1984 again, I'd gladly go back and do it all again and leave this Covid hell that I and millions of other people are having to endure.

oh yeah !! same here. 43 years old here, and raised on real music, was exposed to all music literally since i was born, rock n roll, blues, soul, RnB, Motown, funk, reggae, country, jazz, classical. had my own radios and tape players since i was 2 and 3 years old, i was operating the big stereo and playing records since i was around 3 or so as well. i was always drawn to and craved music. frequently bought music ( tapes, and then CDs. with my allowance and gift money.) good music lives forever. it has no age.
The incredible thing about this song is: Nearly every person in this world, at some point in life, can identify with the tragedy of the lyrics; but the voice of Sam Cooke and the Beat make you smile and dance to it!
This hit from Sam Cooke went to #10 on the Top 40 charts. It went to #1 on the Rhythm & Blues charts and to #23 in the United Kingdom. It would finish at #78 for the year, 1963.
Just watched the second episode of a new series called "Will Trent", set in Atlanta, Georgia. And the closing song of episode 2? "Another Saturday Night"... WOW - so great, I just had to sing along. Always loved Sam Cooke and his music!
Love the music back in the 1950's and 1960's!! That was a super awesome time for music. I grew up in that era. Sam Cooke was a tremendous entertainer and he still is while listeining to his hits.
This is how the greats/legends live on forever, their voices are frozen in their time so many ears for years to come can enjoy! Thank god we live in a time of RUclips so we can easily access all this timeless music!
@@zerrierslizer1 Not necessarily. Sometimes it truly is the other person's fault. Sometimes it's both of you. Sometimes it's no one's fault, and you've just drifted apart or found out you're not compatible.
Every Saturday I listen to this song. It makes me feel better to know that I’m not the only one who has no one to talk to on a Saturday night. I love Sam Cooke!
This is how I feel tonight. I used ti listen to this song when I was 19yrs, now I am much older, like 7yrs younger than Jagger. My husband passed 11yrs in Jan 2024. Things have never been the same since. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
If my life depended on whether or not I could sing a song word for word I would choose this every single time. My mom sang this often when I was a kid. Really miss that woman 🖤
OH wow... brings back good memories of sitting around the TV, playing Nintendo and having 'Saturday Night Live at the Oldies With Shadoe Steele' blaring from 98.5 WKRZ. Wish I could go back to that simpler time!
@@nicholasdarnell3187 Why? because he went Islamic? Shows how much you know, and proves you must be American. True and real Islamic's don't HATE - PERIOD - it is completely against their religion. But in true American fashion, just like you do with communism, you took one persons skewed and fanatical views, and blanketed everyone that identifies as the same. PLEASE do the world a favor and EDUCATE yourselves!!!!!
i have 3 daughters and one son. i taught all three girls to dance, waltz, jive, cha cha and chalypso, and whenever we go to weddings or some other celebrations we make a point to dance to what i consider my music. the girls seem to enjoy it.
My daughter and I dancing to this in the kitchen….on a Saturday night lol I’ll never forget those few minutes! She’s 5 and loves some Sam Cooke. Raising her right. 💪🏽💪🏽
You're an awesome father sir, wish I had a dad growing up. I'm going to be 24 this year but I'm getting it together with me going to college this fall. I hope when I am a father one day, I will share a special moment like that with my kid.
the late great Sam Cooke, it just doesn't get much better than this great voice...to whoever did this video the presentation of the lyrics in neon signs, absolutely brilliant...
One of the greatest singer song writers of all time to walk this earth . Love his music from my childhood days that I treasure right to now . ❤️🥰 ; Rip Sam for your music lives on .
Love it. Whoever's doing this man, props to you. 🤟🏼 I'm not an old timer I'm ah young buck. 25 and still know what's real. I love it man. Stay soulful 🙏🏻
Its sat morning 2.51 am. 60 yrs old in Brooklyn nyc couldn't sleep so I got up came to RUclips and lo and behold the song was here hopefully I'll be here many more years to come to keep on enjoying this song from❤ my childhood❤❤❤
I had some horrible racist parents. I found Sam as an early 30 something through goofy white guy covers I listened to as a kid. Specifically Rod Stewart and Jimmy Buffett. Rod is/was literal gimmick infringement That voice is Sam's
I used to rollerblade to this in my prime in Scituate Harbor, mass. I looked good. My headphones, crop top and 23. I am 67 now and this still makes me strut!
Loved Sam Cooke growing up! I used to live in Ky. when I was young, wasn't allowed to listen to the radio until News Time! Mom finally got us an apartment, got to listen to music all the time!
I found this album when my mom and I were staying with someone when I was about 8…. I played the hell outta this album. I’m reminiscing so hard right now
I loved when I grew up, such wonderful music! One of my favorites! I had the 50's and on and on until today! Whole lot of changes! Music is my life, have to sing and dance!
I found this song because of mafia 3 and I can't stop playing it now. There's something about that upbeat bouncy tune that just fits so well, definitely a man ahead of the times.

Listening to Sam you think hey this Saturday will be different
We're twisting the night away 😊
Sam ahead of time

👍🏿
My favorite singer of the 60s. There is something about his voice that I can't describe but it grabs me.
I was in Vietnam and I was missing my girl back in Austin, Texas. Helped me through some Saturday nights.
Thank you for your service sir.
Good for you, Pablo (incidentally, I'm British).
Know the feelin' Pablo ( British also)
P 😅6😊
I love this song. I feel like dancing around the room. Single or not Saturday Night can be a fun night if you make it so.
I start dancing while I'm driving the car while listening to this 😁, don't mind me 😃
I just did dance. Ignored my broken foot metatarsal or whatever Dr said. Like it's gonna stop me. ✌️
Grew up listening to Sam Cooke! Born in 1953! I have got to listen to all the best of music, and loved every minute!
Just watched the second episode of a new series called "Will Trent", set in Atlanta, Georgia. And the closing song of episode 2? "Another Saturday Night"... WOW - so great, I just had to sing along. Always loved Sam Cooke and his music!
Such a great show!
You're gonna make me watch that show 😂
God, he had it all; gorgeous to look at, a magnificent voice and charm and grace. Why did he have to leave us!
Love the music back in the 1950's and 1960's!! That was a super awesome time for music. I grew up in that era. Sam Cooke was a tremendous entertainer and he still is while listeining to his hits.
They don't make them like this anymore.
@@johnturner3460 John, your are correct!! Long live the 50's & 60's music!!!
To bad his career or life for that matter was cut short
@@yonv9664 For sure! The good singers and their songs die way too soon .

I LOVE SAM COOKE! NO ONE CAN EVER TAKE HIS PLACE! REST IN PEACE MY BROTHER! YOUR MUSIC LIVES ON!
I love how people keep Sam Cooke alive with this support he's getting keep it up everyone 😊👍
Sam is my favorite...PERIOD.
It's a two way street.
I loved Sam Cooke and still love his music!

I do too, but aren't the 'bad' guys getting royalties when his songs are played? That's what sucks.
Kudos to the maker of this video. This is leaps and bounds the most creative I've seen lyrics displayed. Very well done!
The great, great. great Sam Cooke.
The perfect song to spend a lonely Saturday night with!
tell me about it😆😆😆😆
with a guy who wont stop slurping his cup wish I was alone lmao

Join the club bro
Every Saturday I listen to this song. It makes me feel better to know that I’m not the only one who has no one to talk to on a Saturday night.
I love Sam Cooke!
U can always talk to me 😀
Everyone's been there at least once in their life! No matter how good looking or 'nice' they are.

Beautiful and loveable tune. I like this song.
This is the coolest lyric video I've ever seen
Agreed!
There are more lyric videos like this, I won't mention them here, bet there are some ;)
Indeed
Nice isn’t it ?
I agree.
Driving around in Mafia 3 and this song comes on 🥲. I’d be jamming to this shit fr

Wish I could go back to that simpler time!
Can’t live without my daily dose of Sam Cooke
Palaquack59 He sang so many great songs. Classics
I would like this, but it's the year he died in so I'll leave it as a memorial. Though, me too man
God has him in his place in Heaven!
Palaquack59 Yes, CC Needs her dose of Sam!
We will hear him again, in heaven! Singing with the choir!
This Song is so underrated
Sam Cooke had THE VOICE. Can't think of another singer who could do better, whatever genre.

ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS EVER MADE
And a lyrics video to match!!
i have 3 daughters and one son. i taught all three girls to dance, waltz, jive, cha cha and chalypso, and whenever we go to weddings or some other celebrations we make a point to dance to what i consider my music. the girls seem to enjoy it.
Learning dance is amazing and so freeing! I didn't start dancing lessons until I was in my 40s but I love it.
Just think of all the wonderful music we'd have if Sam Cooke would have lived to be an old man.
I agree. It is unfortunate and tragic that he died so young.
He still left us lots of great music and memories!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes... ❤
True
Sam's potential was endless ):
Using neon lights to emphasize the lyrics is absolutely fantastic. Thank you very much...oh, and the STEREO is glorious!!
I hear you 1953 happy happy days🤗🤔😊😉
Really clever how they did this video.. RIP Sam
Yeah ! I see that, with the neon....clever !!
Sam Cooke was such a wonderful singer!
And a Songwriter, and a Business Man!
Yes I agree. This song was out about 2 years before I was born and i love it.
@@claylyons6447 That means ya got good taste in music! Glad I was born when I was, got to listen to all of the greatest songs ever!

Sam Cooke was my favorite back in the good old days! Love that he is still loved!
I always have loved this song and Sam Cook. He was the epitome of cool.
Thank god my dad had good taste in music, I remember him playing this on Saturday mornings when I was a kid
They Dont make music this good anymore/R.I.P. Mr. cooke.
I was a teenager back then what a cool song
It's actually Saturday and I just fully heard this song.

I grew up on this. My parents loved classic music and this song in particular was always in my head. Just wonderful artistry.
Love Sam Cooke's voice, such a shame he died young! Love this song!
The Frankenstein line made me laugh so hard the first time I listened to this, such a great song!
Appreciating how incredible Sam Cooke's drummer was for the first time. In fact I think it's the other way round, Sam Cooke was *his* singer.
Sam Cooke is so great, no one can be compared to him. God threw away the mold after He made Sam.
Its sat morning 2.51 am. 60 yrs old in Brooklyn nyc couldn't sleep so I got up came to RUclips and lo and behold the song was here hopefully I'll be here many more years to come to keep on enjoying this song from❤ my childhood❤❤❤
Very well put together & a great idea to have these neon signs with the lyrics of this classic by Sam Cooke. What a smooth voice he had.
:-)
I grew up on Sam Cooke as well as Lloyd Price! Both icons are gone. But their music lives on and will forever! 👍💙💖

Oh, I so agree~!
@@violamartini2108 no one !!!
Oh my gosh! Sam Cooke would be extremely proud of the way this was put together. It truly is an honor to Him. Thank You
One of my fav songs of all times. and one of fave singers
Not really a singer, more of an artist.
found this artist by accident. not disappointed.
I used to rollerblade to this in my prime in Scituate Harbor, mass. I looked good. My headphones, crop top and 23. I am 67 now and this still makes me strut!
I wish more lyric videos were done like this! So aesthetically pleasing and I was glued to every line!
It's Saturday Night Nov. 10, 2019... Keep on jamming and enjoying this great classic!!! 😍💃😍
Top class
Legend forever Sam
Actually that was a SUNday night.
Thank you, Mafia 3

My first CRUSH ! and I was only 5 years old ! To this day I am still Loving me some Sam Cooke !
I Love Sam Cook and Otis Redding two legends of the 60's rock and soul movement
Sam Cook is long gone but his song from April 2, 1963 will live on and on... Yeah I remember when it was on the charts...
My Mom favorite singer! That's all she listens to is Sam Cooke! RIP 🙏💖🎶 🎶
IF GOD MADE A RECORD HE WOULD USE THE VOICE OF Sam Cooke
Listen to The Soul Stirrers featuring a young Sam.
THANKS MATE @@imasonofadeadbeat2928
I was 14 when this song came out. Everyone sang it. Everytime it came on the car radio we made that car rock.
When I was a kid, radio only got turned on when it was news time! My Mom got us our own place, so got to listen to this music as a kid! Still love it!
This dude was a hit machine. I love the old school. Support from Michigan 810.
Nothing but good music and good vibes. RIP Sam, I pray you get justice.
Reminds of kinetic typography. Dope lyric video. Rest In Peace Sam Cooke. You were a cool cat.
As a kid grew up listening to these songs on radio in our kitchen! Man, I so loved this!
In the kitchen . . . just anywhere, the Great Sam Cooke fits well.
I found this album when my mom and I were staying with someone when I was about 8…. I played the hell outta this album. I’m reminiscing so hard right now
Who is here in 2019 ? Cool Song !!!! Makes me Happy.
Right here, Sept. 11, 2019! A sad day years ago, but love this!
Sam definitely had one of the best voices that there has ever been.
You must have somebody.

I loved when I grew up, such wonderful music! One of my favorites! I had the 50's and on and on until today! Whole lot of changes! Music is my life, have to sing and dance!
I found this song because of mafia 3 and I can't stop playing it now. There's something about that upbeat bouncy tune that just fits so well, definitely a man ahead of the times.
Wonderful lyrics from a great singer.
Whoever did this video put some serious effort in the lyrics display- GREAT JOB!!!
How can you give this a thumbs down? You must NOT know good music!
Rob you explain it clear and simple. If you don’t like this one you absolutely do Not know good music. Sam Cooke gets ya shook!

I like the song but just because someone else don't like it doesn't mean they have bad taste. It's called opinion 😒
it is indeed another saturday night you have to love Sam Cooke
OMG! Love this! Oh my, loved the years I grew up in! The best of the best!
Happy 90th birthday Sam Cooke!!!
Sam is the only singer who can soothe my soul the way he does.
