Mr. Hoopah! Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 This is the greatest vocal performance captured on tape, IMHO. They don't make music like this anymore. There was not a finer human being and performer than Mr. Cooke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backnblack Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 This is the greatest vocal performance captured on tape, IMHO. They don't make music like this anymore. There was not a finer human being and performer than Mr. Cooke.You can really hear the influence he had on Rod Stewart. Cool rendition. Coincidentally some folks I was jamming with the other day were doing this....about one millionth as well.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
