Songs You Should Hear 5/1

Sam Cooke- Nearer My God To Thee



One of the greatest live tracks ever. Sam Cooke was maybe the greatest singer of all time but you have to listen to his gospel records to hear him at his very best. Here he is in old L.A. in 1955; he doesn't prove there is a God but he does prove very clearly that there was once a Sam Cooke.

  1. One of the songs they routinely used to bring their audience to their knees. You can still feel the passion after all these years.
