One for the late night crew part 1-i'm actually a bit pissed off because I was looking for the Lyn Collins version, which kills it (but give it up for Dionne anyway!
One for the late night crew part 2-Sam Cooke---Music does not get better than this, ever since i heard it back in the day the track has been among my favourites-i highly recommend Peter Guralnicks stellar biography of the soul legend too (and those into their civil rights anthems could do worse than catch Phil Hope spinning tunes some wednesday in the Pav he is a fountain of knowledge-i studied Civil Rights in College and tied it to the music such as this, it is an amazing story and 45 years later it amazing how far we have come in the world--Now if only some countries would catch up!)
Enjoy
As Sam's great-nephew, I've written a more personal side to the Sam Cooke saga. He was truly a once-in-a-lifetime artist that is still missed today.
