You are bidding on RCA Records 8487 45 RPM, the posthumous double-sided Sam Cooke hit: "Shake" (#8 Pop on 1965) b/w "A Change is Gonna Come" (#31 Pop in 1965.)
According to Cooke biographer Peter Guralnick, no kinescope survived of Cooke's legendary performance of Change, his answer to Bob Dylan's "Blowing In the Wind," on The Steve Allen Show on NBC the evening of February 7, 1964. His rendition which I chanced to see was brilliant. His timing was ill-fated: the next night I watched The Beatles' debut performance on he Ed Sullivan Show.
The strong VG+ audio plays great, jukebox ready with title strip as shown. The vintage labels are clean but show ridge wear.
