"Somebody," in response to the Great Sam Cooke, should please ". . . have mercy," if only because the Holy Bible quoted Christ to have said, in the book of Matthew, that, "Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy." Amen, somebody! Nduka Uzuakpundu.

Sam Cooke could write and sing a great song!!

Love this Sam Cooke song. In fact I love all of Sam's songs. Love everything about Sam an amazing singer and songwriter. A beautiful looking man with incredible charisma. His death was a terrible loss to the world of music. Taken awsy so youngand in such an awful way. Suspicious circumstances that were totally ignored by the L.A. Police department. Sickening. Sam deserved better than this. Shameful.

met him first time skating rink in Atlanta ga i was 14 been in love everysince now 55-year-old

Betty Whitaker You mean you met him through his music right??

One of my favourite Sam Cooke's songs. His voice is like honey. What a great loss his death was. The man was supremely talented and very lovely to look at. He had the whole package. Miss you Sam you are the very best.

greatest rock and roll singer ever

I really love Sam Cooke, and for my money, this is the best song he ever wrote. Powerful,, soulful and unpretentiously hilarious on top.

Mr. Sam Cooke the best. Great song. Beautiful voice, perfect timing, and a very handsome gentleman. I love this man! Taken away in such a terrible and senseless act. Murderers got away with this. No justice for Sam.

Soulless people will never understand. Or should i say people not conected to there souls. will not ever feel the beauty of his soul

Good morning

I wish I

one of the best I'm getting the hell away from you songs

nothing is wrong with you its just a song you wrote,

"when i think i got her chained down she starts acting up again"

Admittedly that got me to flinch a little, my imediate picture was the manly man back in the 60s who believes that HE can go out at night, smoke cigars, have a good time, drink beers with the fellas.. but the woman's place is at home...

But maybe he meant something else by it

the best ever...."hands down"!!!....my opinion!

Simply the best

Tony Curry God is love, thats why Sam Cooke was blessed with such a heavenly voice, to share with the whole world. Touches the parts other singers couldnt even dream of.Love Sams singing , musical arrangements.

He is 💯

''im gonna grab me a arm full of greyhound ''. thats one the greatest lines ever !

stephen laws all

A grey hound asked for the guys lunch. Then.run off like a race horse.whith.nae.saddle

Greyhound Buses.. where the buses that most African Americans rode...while others rode Trailways...

Only if he could have live his whole life, this man would have made a lot more hits. I love his song With you.... I can play it over and over everyday. Other have tried to match him, but not even close...

Charles Edward He did live his whole life. It just wasn’t long. He did what he was sent to do and he did it excellently!!!!!!

gloria rollins Amen to that.!!!!! Sam still singing to us though. Beautifull messages of love in the songs he sang.

You’re talking about only hits. Can you imagine how many more musical artists he could have directly influenced. Besides the obvious ones we know.

Ok to in no no I'm at on no hi no

"When I think I got her chained down, shes starts acting up again".
