One Night Stand! Sam Cooke Live at the Harlem Square Club, 1963 album Sam Cooke's reputation as a brilliant singer is sometimes maintained in spite of some of his records, not because of them. One Night Stand! Sam Cooke Live at the Harlem Square Club, 1963 CD music Hugo and Luigi, his RCA producers, often drowned Cooke's stunning pipes in an ocean of inappropriate orchestras and choirs. One Night Stand! Sam Cooke Live at the Harlem Square Club, 1963 music CDs But compare their single version of "Chain Gang" to the stripped-down, gently swaying, and considerably more heartfelt live version on LIVE AT THE HARLEM SQUARE CLUB; no doubt about it, Cooke was a master, and if his producers had been a bit more sympathetic, his stature would be even higher now than it is.

| A Soul Singing Masterclass You've heard the rest now listen to the best! You will have heard the slick, smooth sound of the singles. This is stripped down and raw and shows a side of Sam Cooke that many didn't know existed until this album was first released 21 years after his death. This album was the first Sam Cooke album I bought. I've been hooked ever since. I feel sure you will be too! By keithsheriff (Ellesmere Port, England)  |
| The best of Cook!! It's just incredible that a man with an image of cute, cupid like songs makes this steaming, hot recording! He challenges his audience, the band, the listener. "Bring It On Home To Me" never got any better. The Animals? Forget theirs, phoney imitators! Just listen to the intoduction, how he builds the spell and comes to an orgasm of love, rock, joy and passion. God, this is music as it should be!! By bart (Netherlands) |
| the greatest male vocalist Listen as Sam's voices warms up throughout this set, into the most perfect blend of roughness and sweetness ever heard in a human voice. (I used to think that Rod Stewart added the rasp when he credited Sam as his main influence, but after hearing this, I realize that he added nothing.) The fact the Cooke could also sell to the mainstream market by smoothing out his sound only shows that he could sing anything. By Mark (chicago , IL USA) |
| Sam Cooke live Live At The Harlem Square Club, 1963 shows a side of Sam Cooke very different from his gospel and pop - more raw, sexy and compelling. This is one of my all-time favorite records, and the new version of the CD has extremely interesting background material about Cooke's musical evolution. By EN (New York City) |
