In honor of what would have been his 81st birthday, let’s watch some videos of Sam Cooke doing what he did best (singing and being handsome).
“Twistin’ the Night Away”, 1963
“You Send Me”
Sam Cooke and Muhammad Ali singing “The Gang’s All Here” in 1964. They make a good pair.
And finally, one of my favorites – “Bring it On Home to Me” (Live at the Harlem Square Club in 1963).
I listen to Sam Cooke on a daily basis. He was so smooth.

Hi Lauren,
I too, am a huge Same Cooke fan!! I often play ‘Another Saturday Night’ and ‘Chain Gang’. Actually, I am a huge 50′s music fan in general. Love the hip hop and simplicity of the songs. I am Lisa’s daughter, Lori. Your dad and I got together awhile ago and I told him how much I loved reading his blogged and suggested I follow yours. Hope that’s ok. I love the updates! Stay warm in that chilly Windy City! Lori
