Back in 1963, Sam Cooke released "Live at the Harlem Square Club, 1963" which is included on several best of lists as one of the greatest albums of all time live or recorded. Allmusic for instance writes that the album is "one of the greatest soul records ever cut by anybody, outshining James Brown's first live album from the Apollo Theater and easily outclassing Jackie Wilson's live record from the Copa." With that said, take a listen below to Cooke's live cut of "Cupid" below and Enjoy!
Not only were his records great but he sounds awesome live!!! One of the First Great Soul Men!
