249 Sam Cooke (1931-1964) “You Send Me” 1957

When Clif White, Cooke’s longtime backup guitarist, first met Cooke, “he found that he was being draw in, first by the indisputable beauty of Sam’s voice, then by the way he was able, like so many great gospel singers, just to grab the changes out of the air. But it was the power of his personality that got Clif in the end” (Dream Boogie: The Triumph of Sam Cooke).
