i must comment on R.H. Harris as I am almost speechless that there is actual footage of him singing in his heyday! Sam Cooke is my all time favorite, and I had read that Harris was his hero. RH. Harris's voice is simply heavenly, pure, powerful, versatile, simply incredible. This video material is a true cultural/historical/musical blessing!

Wow, talk about Back down memory lane, I remember listening to the gospel singers early sunday morning as we got ready to go to sunday school, Sam Cooke and the Soul Stirrers were my favorite male group, Clara Ward and the ward singers was my favorite female group, On Saturday at noon the down home hour would come on @ 12 noon, it was on the air for only one hour, which wasn't long enough for me.So grateful that my parents introduced us to gospel music, took us to church, prayed and pleeded the blood of Jesus over our lives. Had it not been for them don't know where I'd be.... thank you for up uploading this fantastic video.

Sam Cooke was/is indeed one of the greatest things to not just happen to music, but to humanity. The songs he wrote/sang were so relevant and conscious... especially towards the end of his career/life with treasures such as "If I Had A Hammer", Bob Dylan's "Blowing In The Wind" which inspired "A Change Is Gonna Come", and "Keep Movin' On", etc. May the soul of music's greatest musician truly rest in peace.

@Michael Harrison While I do not condone the OP remarks, IMO the UK has plenty of bigotry, neither do I agree with your comment "they all stole from black folks". In the late 50s and early 60s, many British musicians adored the African American blues which were all but ignored by mainstream American audiences. These musicians took that music, turned it around and sold it back to America. For example, Howlin' Wolf got his National US TV break as a direct result of The Rolling Stones insistence on his appearing on the Shindig show with them in 1965. bestclassicbands.com/rolling-stones-howlin-wolf-shindig-10-6-16/
