      I don’t know when I last heard this song. Must be decades. Somewhere in all my clutter I’m sure there’s a 45 of this song which I remember liking so much. Was it a B-side? I’m particularly fond of ‘You Send Me’ and ‘For Sentimental Reasons,’ but most everything he recorded is a testament to what a wonderful voice he had. Thanks for reminding me.

        im6,
        I love Sam Cooke’s voice. He could sing nonsense syllables, and they would sound great! I don’t know if this was a B side or not, but I suspect so as it is not a familiar Sam song like You Send Me. I could listen to that over and over again.

    Sam Cooke – may well be the greatest male soul singer ever….
