Crossover?
Cooke apparently wanted to crossover to the audience that the Copa attracted. Why? Here was a fantastically gifted vocalist doing a Sammy Davis, IMHO. Nevertheless, this is an intriguing recording done in 4.0 from a long-ago era. His talent shines through the mediocrity like pearls before swine. Good sonics but I think his vocal mic distorted just a little.
