Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Is this
song a bit more obscure than our usual fare, or is it just me?
BONUS - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZB4jcPmFGo - Bring It on Home to Me - Sam Cooke
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bring_It_On_Home_to_Me:
| "Bring It On Home to Me" is a
1962
soul song written and recorded by
R&B singer-songwriter
Sam Cooke.
The song, about infidelity, was a hit for Cooke and has become a
pop standard
covered by numerous artists of different genres. It is one of
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.
Cooke's recorded version has
Lou Rawls
singing responses as an
uncredited background singer. This song is considered by many historians of soul music to be the founding, or at least definitive soul song, as it provides the formula that is still popular today. Cooke's live version of this song that he performed in Miami, from the album Live at the Harlem Square Club, 1963, can be seen as his personal vision of what soul music should be, owing to the texture and emotion conveyed through his vocals that night, and that were probably standard in Cooke's near-nightly shows in primarily black clubs. |

your dreams, just as He always has. But He can't if you don't pray, and
He can't if you don't dream. In short, He can't if you don't believe.”
