(Sam Cooke – Let The Good Times Roll)
talk about synchronicity…themusicologist was reminded that today is Sam Cooke’s 77th birthday, (thanks erik), so it’s got to be this one from 1963.
yet another imperious, inspiring slice of over proof musicology from Mr Soul….overflowing with feeling. reminding us to ‘let the good times roll’ no matter what your current predicament which, bearing in mind the circumstances that surround his life at this time, makes it even more inspiring. recorded in December after the 25th take I do believe…such was the desire to ‘get in the groove’.
Mr Cooke …. your message is coming over loud and clear.
is that Bobby Womack harmonising?? Bob if you’re out there let us know..

I adore the sentiments of this song…and sooooooo brilliantly sung.

having read about the circumstances in which this was conceived..(take 25), the vibes are so clearly communicated that I can almost taste them.
what is clear is how committed the man was to deliverance..
“we gonna stay here ’til we soothe our souls”
