Product Details

Sam Cooke recorded this Copa engagement just months before his death in December 1964, making it one of the final documents of an artist who was simultaneously conquering mainstream supper clubs and writing songs like "A Change Is Gonna Come." Hearing him work a room this polished while carrying that much weight is something else entirely, a reminder that Cooke wasn't just crossing over, he was operating on multiple levels at once.

First released in October of 1964
Audio recording of Sam Cooke’s triumphant stand at New York’s Copacabana nightclub
Offers insight into his easy going but totally focused performing style in front of a sophisticated audience
Of special note is Cooke’s version of Bob Dylan’s “Blowin’ In The Wind” that reflected the struggle for civil rights that was underway at that time
Remastered and restored with original album artwork
