Sam Cooke

Posted

At the risk of sounding utterly moronic, I'm surprised by how often I get asked for Sam Cooke whilst DJing - not at northern soul nights, just general funky mod soul type affairs.

So, just wanted to ask - what Sam Cooke stuff has been played at northern do's over the years. And what should? What's worth investigating on SAR Records?
