Product Description

Sam Cooke's reputation as a brilliant singer is sometimes maintained in spite of some of his records, not because of them. Hugo and luigi, his rca producers, often drowned cooke's stunning pipes in an ocean of inappropriate orchestras and choirs. But compare their single version of 'chain gang' to the stripped-down, gently swaying, and considerably more heartfelt live version on live at the Harlem square club; no doubt about it, Sam Cooke was a master, and if his producers had been a bit more sympathetic, his stature would be even higher now than it is. Recorded in Florida in 1963, just over a year before his murder, this 10-track set puts Sam Cooke in front of a small combo and just let's the man go. Every track is a small masterpiece of soul phrasing, and the band is more than up to cooke's vocal prowess. Listen and be amazed. Bruce Elder writes 'it's 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.' in 2003, the album was ranked number 443 on rolling stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

このライブは世界遺産ですね。もの凄いとしか言いようのないものです。ソウルファンは当たり前、すべての音楽ファンにお勧めします。サム・クックの歌唱のもの凄さには笑ってしまうしかありません。もちろんバックの演奏も負けていません。

サムクックいいですね。ジャンルは、ロックじゃないけどハートは、ロックですのでぐぐっときます。本当にいいライブアルバムは、シンガーも客もノリノリなのが伝わってきます。見た目のカッコよさではなく、（マイケルを批判しているのではない。これもひとつの王道）歌い方がカッコいい。ライブの本質を再認識させられるようなアルバムです。ロックが好きな人は、音楽の見聞を広げる意味でお試しを
