Description
The restored Sam Cooke At The Copa reveals Cookes Copacabana performance with all of the nuance and passion that his adoring audience experienced fifty-five years ago. For those who never had a chance to hear Sam Cooke in person, Sam Cooke At The Copa affords the best seat in the house.
Sam Cookes set at the Copa is a microcosm of his overall career insofar as it mirrored the artists own eclecticism. Broadway, blues, folk, jazz, gospel and even country, and, of course, soul are represented on such tracks as Nobody Knows You When Youre Down and Out, Frankie and Johnny, Try A Little Tenderness, Amen, and the hits Twistin The Night Away, You Send Me and (I Love You) For Sentimental Reasons. Of special note is Cookes version of Bob Dylans Blowin In The Wind that refected the struggle for civil rights then underway. Dylans song inspired Cooke to write his like themed masterpiece, A Change Is Gonna Come.
