Day 23 - Sam Cooke - Live At The Harlem Square Club, 1963 (1985)


This live album by Sam Cooke was awesome. I was not familiar with Sam's work, besides his song "Cupid" that Amy Winehouse covered. All the songs he sings are great and he has a total hold on the crowd who love him. Sam had a great soulful voice, it's tragic that he died a year after this album was recorded at the age of 33. I will seek out the rest of his albums after hearing this great live recording. 5/5.

Tracks I enjoyed the most: Feel It, Chain Gang, Cupid, Medley: It's All Right/For Sentimental Reasons & Twistin' The Night Away.
