Description
Sam Cooke is rightly credited with creating and defining soul music, no one did it better. While Cookes untimely death at the age of 33 was tragic and deprived successive generations of new music, his influence and legacy is of such magnitude that his artistry is still enjoyed by fans the world over to this day. Sam Cooke At the Copa was recorded on July 7th and 8th, 1964, and remains one of the finest live soul performances ever captured on tape. A breathtaking document of Cookes triumphant stand at New Yorks Copacabana nightclub, the collection offers insight into his easy going but totally focused performing style in front of a sophisticated audience. In 1964 the times were changing fast, so Cooke performed a rousing rendition of Bob Dylans then newly written Blowin in the Wind. Producer and 17-time Grammy winner Al Schmitt called the record, one of my all-time favorite albums. Remastered and restored 180g vinyl LP reissue with original album artwork.
