I had never heard of Sam Cooke before but was surprised to find that he wrote the songs on the album which include two very famous songs, Chain Gang and Twisting the Night Away. The album was good but once again would have been better if it wasn't a live album. The sound quality is really poor.One interesting thing that I learned about Sam Cooke was that he died at the age of 33. He was found shot in a hotel wearing nothing but his shirt. The story goes that the manager of the hotel he was staying in shot him when he broke into her office and attacked her. After an investigation it was found that it was justifiable homicide.
