Sam Cooke Live at the Harlem Square Club, 1963 -- recorded in Florida. Peter Guralnick's book, Dream Boogie: The Triumph of Sam Cooke, is one of the best books I've ever read. Seriously, it was much better than the other two. Sam was a complex guy, and this recording shows his saucier side. Is there any greater voice? Otis? Elvis? Dave?

I became a Sam Cooke convert a few years ago when I got my brother the box set and then 'forget' to send it to him. He was just stellar and in my opinion the all time great soul voices belong to Cooke, Otis, and Gladys. Word.
Don't forget Aretha!
Aretha's a power voice, Cooke, Otis and Green are smoothies. I love Sam Cooke.
