-Artist / Group: Sam Cooke
-Mini bio: Born on Jan. 22, 1931 in Clarksdale, Mississippi; raised in Chicago. R&B singer/songwriter. Son of a Baptist minister. Sang in choir from age six. Joined gospel group The Highway Q.C.'s. Lead singer of the Soul Stirrers from 1950-56.
-First recorded secular songs in 1956 as "Dale Cook" for the Specialty label then released a few R&B ballads on Specialty as Sam Cooke including I'll Come Running back To You, That's All I Need To Know and two others .
-Starting in 1957, he had a string of hits on the Keen label including You Send Me, Summertime, (I Love You) For Sentimental Reasons, Love You Most Of All, Everybody Loves To Cha Cha Cha and Only Sixteen among others which led to a contract with RCA in 1960 where he released a number of R&B classics including Chain Gang, Sad Mood, and Twistin' The Night Away among others. Nephew is singer R.B. Greaves. Died from a gunshot wound on Dec. 11, 1964 (age 33); shot by a female motel manager under mysterious circumstances. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986. Won Grammy's Lifetime Achievement Award in 1999. Considered by many as the definitive soul singer.
-Side one: You Send Me / Bring It On Home To Me
-Although not shown on label, side one has two songs, the first is an amazingly gritty version of You Send Me followed by Bring It On Home To Me with a total recording time of 5:42 for the two cuts.
-Side two: Nothing Can Change This Love
-On Jan. 12, 1963 Sam Cooke performed live at the Harlem Square Club in Miami, Florida and RCA recorded that concert. They recorded that concert with the purpose of releasing a live album which was going to be titled One Night Stand. RCA Victor in 1963 subsequently decided that the album was too loud, gritty and raw to the point where they thought it might damage his pop image and quietly kept the recordings in their archive.
-In 1985, RCA executive Greg Geller discovered the tapes and released the songs on an album titled Live At The Harlem Square Club, 1963 (AFL1-5181) complete with audience reaction, warts and all.
-From that album RCA released just one 7" 45 rpm record in 1985 on RCA PB-14146 which we now are offering for sale.
-This 7" is from the original 1985 album which features a louder audience response, creating a frenzied power between Sam Cooke and his predominately black audience. Two other mixes of this album exist, one from a 2000 box set titled The Man Who Invented Soul, which turns these elements down, cleaning up Cooke's vocals as well as the music. The 2005 remaster generally splits the difference between the original and second releases.
-The original 1985 live album is considered among the best live albums by contemporary music critics, and has been ranked on many best-of-lists including Rolling Stone Magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

Record grading:
(M) Mint: A mint record should appear to have just left the manufacturers without any handling; that is, it should appear perfect! No light scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains on labels or writing, tears or splits; nothing. Perfect. And age has nothing to do with it; the same standards for Mint apply to a rare rockabilly single from 1955 as they do to a Top 40 record from 1988! There are no sliding values for Mint. A Mint record cover should appear to have never had a record in it; no ring-wear, dog-eared corners, writing, seam-splits; nothing! Perfect! Even a new, unplayed old stock record can have factory flaws. Mint should be used sparingly and will usually attract a premium value to serious collectors. Mint means perfect and nothing else!
(SS) Still sealed: Still sealed in the factory shrink wrap.
(M-) Mint minus: A nearly perfect record. The record will show no obvious signs of wear, very light surface scuffs from normal handling are permitted but no light scratches. Original finish intact. Picture sleeves should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.
(VG+) Very good plus: The record will show some signs that it was played or otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or light scratches. Picture sleeves may have some slight ring wear, lightly turned up corners, or a small seam split.
(VG) Very good: Many of the defects found in a VG+ record or sleeve will be more pronounced in a VG record or picture sleeve. Groove wear may be noticeable, the record may have light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound, but the foreign noises will be less prominent than the music. Picture sleeves may have quite prominent ring wear. Creases, folds, seam splits and tears will be more obvious and may appear on all three sides, and there may be writing as well.
(VG-) Very good minus: Foreign noises may be about as prominent as the music. The record still plays through without skipping. The picture sleeve will have more significant seam splits, perhaps to the point where they were taped closed, and highly obvious ring wear and heavier writing. Can serve as a filler until a better one comes along.
(G) Good: We seldom offer a good record for sale unless it is particularily rare for the following reasons: Foreign noises are louder than the recorded music and listening can be distracted by the noise. May or may not play through without skipping, but should be so noted. Picture sleeves are so badly seam split that they may not be able to contain the record within.Tears, folds, writing and ring wear may be overwheming.
