Song of the Day-With You

Still on a Sam Cooke kick, this fine Sam Cooke ballad dates back to...well, by the sound of it, the late 50s. It is hard to find track info on this stuff, even with the powerful search engines on the internet. Perhaps if someone who is crazy into Sam Cooke comes across this blog, they might clue me in as to when it was recorded. Its on disc one of the Sam Cooke box set "The Man Who Invented Soul" and is a prime example of the early sound when Sam Cooke was trying to (as he arguably did most of his career) reach the biggest possible audience, white or black. If you are looking to get into some Sam, and you want to dig deeper then the various "Best Ofs" and "Greatest Hits" look out for that set. This is a tune Sam wrote by himself. He would go on to write more and more of his material as he matured.
