SAM COOKE ~ SOME ARE JUST BORN WITH SOMETHING SPECIAL

The great thing about music is that it remains even though the artist or composer leaves us. So inspired by Erik Greene who left a comment on my previous post, I have added some great youtube and dailymotion videos of Sam Cooke. Thanks to the gracious people who upload the videos, we can see Sam perform and display "cool". Some people have that certain something that the rest of us are drawn to. And Sam Cooke had it. How sad he died so young.

It is easy to find Sam Cooke CDs. I bought mine at amazon
