As great as his album version is, him live is something i wish i was able to experience. He turns a song out like no other and does it so effortlessly..only thing missing from his arsenal was dance moves but the level of singing he possessed, dancing was irrelevant. This man embodied cool confidence

[@lyndamartinez2257]

it was a well known fact among all his friends and associates that Sam had,as Tina Turner jokedb "two left feet" His father didn't allow dancing or movies for religious reasons.

"Missing" is not quite correct -- the company that controls Cooke's legacy refuses to let it be seen.

[@ParkerAllen2]

@@lpquagmire3621 Is that true? I thought it had been lost, too. If the footage exists but some corporate entity is keeping it locked away it's kind of a cultural crime, given that it's one of the most significant songs of the 20th Century.

I don't THINK SOME OF THOSE PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND ABOUT EARLY TAPEING T.V. SHOWS. Johnny Carson said in his early shows NBC (and other stations) would ERASED THESE SHOWS ONCE THEY AIRED because stations thought it would be cheaper to reuse the same tape because videotape was very expensive. So many of Carson's show 1962 to beginning of 1964 was ERASED!!! CARSON REALIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF PRESERVING THESE SHOWS AND HAD NBC TO STOPPED ERASING THEM. NOW BE THANKFUL THAT EVEN THIS PART WAS SAVED.
