Sam Cooke - At The Copa (Vinyl)

Vinyl LP pressing. The restored Sam Cooke At The Copa reveals Cooke's Copacabana performance with all of the nuance and passion that his adoring audience experienced 55 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 Cooke's set at the Copa is a microcosm of his overall career insofar as it mirrored the artist's own eclecticism. Broadway, blues, folk, jazz, gospel and even country, and, of course, soul. Of special note is Cooke's version of Bob Dylan/s 'Blowin In The Wind' that reflected the struggle for civil rights then underway. Dylan s song inspired Cooke to write his like themed masterpiece, 'A Change Is Gonna Come'.
