Sam Cooke - Bring It On Home

There may be a song better than this one...but, I haven't heard it yet.




Also, Sam Cooke may have the most perfect voice on God's green earth.

And, for Springsteen fans like me...it's hard to under-estimate the influence of Sam Cooke on the Boss. Specifically, Springsteen has sucked his vibe straight out of the marrow of the following songs:

(What A) Wonderful World
Meet Me At Mary's Place
Having A Party
Twistin' the Night Away

In some sense, if there's no Sam Cooke, there's no Bruce Springsteen.

Also, here's Sam Cooke singing Blowin' in the Wind.
