Sam Cooke has a voice that comands attention. You don't have to ask who's singing that song, because of his phiniminal voice and music, is truly one of q kind and you can reconize it anywhere. His voice is also very clear and it's easy to sing along to all of his music. He is also an Incredible song writter. He's written almost everything he sang. . Mr. Soul, your legacy will live on in our hearts forever..I Love You and I wish that I would have known you, you are the Best..R.I.P.
Recently got into him more and listening to him a lot, his voice is so beautiful, so good. just shows that music from another time can still have power and reach us youngsters (I'm 18)
I love how he's enjoying performing so much that he's going "mmm!" at his own performance, like "man this sounds good!" hahaha!!! I love it. So much soul.
Sam Cooke was such a great singer and dancer. There could not be a dull moment when he too the stage. Great dresser and smile that warmed the heart. He was taken from us too soon. 🙏
That is the question I have been asking for years, I heard a rumor that Mick Jaggers movie production company is going to make a Sam Cooke Movie as he was involved in the latest James Brown movie.
Way ahead of his time. wrote n produced his own songs and was just about to launch his own record label. He'd be dead a year later Dec 11 1964. And under some seriously mysterious circumstances. Miss you Sam Cooke
THE GREATEST SINGER OF OUR TIME....PRODUCER, WRITER,ARRANGER, RECORD COMPANY CEO,ACTOR,ACTVIST AND ONE OF THE BEST LOOKING ,BEST DRESSED MAN EVER...THANK YOU GOD FOR GIVING THE WORLD A TASTE OF PERFECTION. ..
I'm only 33 lol but sam cookes music has always been speacial to me , he sings from his soul. Makes me so sad how his life got cut so short. He was robbed. :(
Wow! What a voice and such charisma. Sam was one very handsome man. A true legend. Thank you for sharing this wonderful treasure of Sam Cooke live and so amazing.
One of the greatest never been matched. Listened to his life story on the radio recently and it's tragic end. And although I wasn't born when Sam was alive I have always loved his music the real king of soul! R.I.P Sam
My parents got to see him in NYC a few times last time was just months before he was shot but damn it was wild mix of people and he had the place dancing just going crazy.
Probably one of the best voices in the history. And such a modern interpretation. He understood the core and the essence of music and was much farther than the others
Phenomenal artist taken too soon. As good as he is here, this is Sam reserved, performing for white America. His Live at the Harlem Square record (arguably the greatest live album of all time) is Sam truly going for it. It's soul personified. It was recorded in 1963 but it wasn't released until 1985 because RCA, the record label thought it was too black, too raw and gritty for the time. Sam is the true Godfather of Soul. There will never be another like him.
Harlem Square very greatest live album i ever heard. As his brother L.C. Said "audiences knew that Sam could get down and Sam did get down"{describing harlem Square]
The buzz at the start of the song makes me love this song, I took a razer to my vinyl record to recreate this actually! It makes me cry everytime thank you so much for getting the limited edition copy 😭😭😪
hes here so young, so mindblowingly talented, flawless in his performance and breathtakingly good-looking.He wrote his music himself. I am still devastated to know he died so young so senselessly and in such sketchy circumstances.
some??...how about most..absolutely love this song..was in a McDonald's a couple of days ago... this was playing...best Big Mac I've ever had..song sounds as fresh as ever
I could not agree any more. To me, Elvis and Cooke were without question to the 2 greatest singers ever. I think John Lennon was 3rd. He obviously had nowhere near as strong of a voice as those 2 but his delivery was impeccable.
Simon Green Lmfao that is just absolutely ridiculous. Elvis Presley could sing ANYTHING and make it sound amazing. And he sang with more emotion than any singer ever. There is a reason that every great musician thinks of him as a god.
When Sam did this song in Houston at the Sam Houston Coliseum as part of a caravan of blues artists show the women went so wild, throwing underwear and bras on the stage and attempting to get to the star the police had to shut down the show. I had been to many concerts and this had never happened, it was crazy. When the lights came on it was over. However that night Sam treated the 'in crowd' to an impromptu show at the Palladium Ballroom on Southmore. It was fantastic.
Yes, I'm 71 but I am still a rocker and would not trade my history with music, the shows, the memories for a new lease on life. Life is great but not the music, not R&B, never will be as great as it was in the 60's.
My brothers and I were so fortunate to have seen most of the greats in their primes, Bobby Bland probably 10 times, the Temptations, Jackie Wilson, Chuck Jackson, James Brown, Al TNT Braggs, Otis Redding, Ike and Tina, The Miracles, and what was so great back then were the big road review shows with so many acts and we saw these performers in Milwaukee, Chicago and Houston. In Houston at the mecca of blues, Palladium Ballroom, up close and personal. I also saw the Beatles in Houston in Aug. 1965 two months before I was drafted. Actually my first rock and roll concert was 1957 Ricky Nelson in Houston. I consider myself the luckiest rocker alive and will attend a concert in Cleveland this October to see Marillion my favorite progressive rock band from England. My last R&B show was Baby Face in 2014.
wow...this just makes me appreciate it even more!!!!!!!!! Just wow! Today's music is quite artificial. I can safely say Oldies music is absolutely organic. Pure Skills!
Best voice I've ever heard
IMO the best voice anyone has ever heard. Sam is the best all-time.
I totally agree 👌
One of the best in my book❣
me too intoxicating voice AND sooo handsome!!
yes!!
The immortal Sam Cooke folks. What Mozart was to classical music, Sam Cooke was to Soul and Pop music.
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT DOG!! LOVE HIS VOICE & MUSIC!!!
Stacy O'Connor -All the great music he might have created for our ears to feast on taken away by vultures...it makes Shakespeare cry!!
Sam Cooke the greatest

A story needs to be told about this brotha, seriously!

REMEMBERING
SAMUEL "SAM" COOKE
(January 22, 1931 - December 11, 1964)
[01/22/2023]
I remember as a kid growing up and a sam cooke record playing in my home. Was a great childhood for a 90's kid born in the 80's
Sam Cooke was such a great singer and dancer. There could not be a dull moment when he too the stage. Great dresser and smile that warmed the heart. He was taken from us too soon. 🙏
The true king of soul ....where's sams life story on film ?
That is the question I have been asking for years, I heard a rumor that Mick Jaggers movie production company is going to make a Sam Cooke Movie as he was involved in the latest James Brown movie.
Elston Gunn I really look forward to that production if it indeed happens.
Carlos Gregory question is ...who plays Sam ?
Carlos Gregory What a great classic this is......Timeless! Sam Cooke was the man for sure.....
+Carlos Gregory CNN anchor Don Lemon...looks just like Sam
Way ahead of his time. wrote n produced his own songs and was just about to launch his own record label. He'd be dead a year later Dec 11 1964. And under some seriously mysterious circumstances. Miss you Sam Cooke
Silky Smove SOUL Sam Cook was a Great Singer. Gone to soon RIP

😢 one of the last songs I remember my grandpa singing. 🙏🏾
That voice! We will never know how much amazing music was lost
Live Folks, Yep live , The one, the only Sam Cooke. Perfection
Who are the 46 hopeless souls who, as of today, Oct 12, 2019, gave this terrific video a thumbs down??? What is wrong with people today.
they are idiots tom c
Boy I wish Sam could have stayed with us 😪
Same but he was too good for this planet so the big guy called him home early. The way you gotta look at it sometimes
My parents got to see him in NYC a few times last time was just months before he was shot but damn it was wild mix of people and he had the place dancing just going crazy.
Yep no matter how much I hear Sam cook songs they just get better
This brother had me singin for 20 odd years now , pure gifted and class! Ali was greatest sportsman amen , this guy never bettered in his field
I've been searching so long for videos of Sam Cooke, came across this just now.Appreciate it very much.
Probably one of the best voices in the history. And such a modern interpretation. He understood the core and the essence of music and was much farther than the others
woooo awesome! It's really live. No lip sync! The great Sam Cooke, ladies and gentlemen!
REMEMBERING SAMUEL COOK "SAM COOKE" (JANUARY 22, 1931 - DECEMBER 11, 1964) [01/22/2019]
The BEST Voice and Stage Presence, Truly Royalty of Rock and Roll!
SAM COOKE THE KING OF OF SOUL NO QUESTIONING. man this guy only two words TOO GOOD!
SAM COOKE IS ONE OF THE BEST SINGERS EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Must have had a dream, dreaming about the beginnings of Rock n Roll. This song on my mind soon as I woke.
This is a person that is definitely missed!
I was born on the day he left this earth. December 11, 1964.
RIP Mr. Cooke❤
Pride of Clarksdale, Mississippi. One of many legends from there.
cooke had that sinatra style swagger
I love Sam Cooke!!!
I just love his voice man if he had live I have to list at him every night before I sleep rest in peace love u thank you for the music
This guy was class all the way
Simply the best!!!!!
Hello, I went to a Rod Stewart concert , he does this song very well too...that was in Budapest a few years ago....John Steelman from North Carolina.
Damnit this dude is the GOAT!

great video, amazed at how he moved to the music. a great loss to music and a whole generation
hes here so young, so mindblowingly talented, flawless in his performance and breathtakingly good-looking.He wrote his music himself. I am still devastated to know he died so young so senselessly and in such sketchy circumstances.
I wonder if the people in the audience realised what a true legend he was. I listen to him almost every day. The best.
Pure joy, pouring in an endless stream from the heart of this song.
Love the wailin' horns at the end of this song! Sam Cooke left us way too soon!
yesterday would've been his 86th birthday.
Happy late Birthday king off soul Sam Cooke
One of the most iconic voices you'll ever hear... Classic 🔥🔥🔥
2019 anyone? this is still better than some songs in 2019
Que musica ❤
some??...how about most..absolutely love this song..was in a McDonald's a couple of days ago... this was playing...best Big Mac I've ever had..song sounds as fresh as ever
Today,s music is very bad, it,s too sad!
For me Sam Cooke and Elvis Presley have the best voices of all time.
et james brown
Sorry mate, Elvis nowhere near the top 20
Elvis, Tom Jones, Sam Cooke, Pavarotti and James Brown
I could not agree any more. To me, Elvis and Cooke were without question to the 2 greatest singers ever. I think John Lennon was 3rd. He obviously had nowhere near as strong of a voice as those 2 but his delivery was impeccable.

wowww I love these songs, and these men are good singer, SC, JW, GM, NC,AG I love them all I don't know if we will get singers like them again. :(
Still loving his music 💖
those trumpets...love it
So smooth
So effortlessly awesome.
Sam had a beautiful voice that could sing any song.
Sam Cooke aka Mr. Sole He was an incredible Singer/singer writer. A Legend in his own time.
When Sam did this song in Houston at the Sam Houston Coliseum as part of a caravan of blues artists show the women went so wild, throwing underwear and bras on the stage and attempting to get to the star the police had to shut down the show.

Rock Martinez I believe it! The 60s was a fantastic time for music in general. Who else did you see from that time?

The Two BBC Radio shows about his life were amazing
Will be his Birthday Jan 22
Great to see his music still very much alive and kicking 2015
the era of real class and style.one of the greatest of all time
The master at work 🎤
a great voice taken from us way too soon.
The crowd is sitting ... SITTING !!
I'm watching this in 2019 and I love it. Class, style and talent in the time of segregation. I can't imagine performing under such circumstances.
great live performance
the best male voice.of the 20th century
aurai voulu vivre ces années twist!!!!!adore!!!!!!
love his voice
I’ve been searching for a live video of him singing.
This is pure gold!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I love this man so much. Everyone should hear him at least once in their life.
he sounds identical to the record- pure skills
Ron Jamal Bruce this is because it is his voice on the records, it is not filtered or edited in any way, unlike most of today's "artists"
wow...this just makes me appreciate it even more!!!!!!!!! Just wow! Today's music is quite artificial. I can safely say Oldies music is absolutely organic. Pure Skills!
Handsome Men of a Lifetime, Sam Cooke, and President Barack Obama!
He was so beautiful and talented. We love you, Sam
2020: STILL ROCKS
I WAS 15 YEARS OLD AND YES, TWISTING THE NIGHT AWAY.
