The Great Sam Cooke (1931-1964)

Dig these selections from one of the great masters who did not survive what English speakers call 'the sixties'. First a live television performance with an introduction from Jerry Lewis (b. 1926) for some reason, and the first song ("Twistin' the Night Away") is a real hip. Then he sets things right with "That's Where It's At".
