Hi Lea I found this...I'm at work so I don't have a lot of time to read it over...If I read right...looks like it's on the album "Little Bit More"...

and Walk Right In...1977?

I recommend the original Sam Cooke. I've never yet heard anyone cover a Sam Cooke song that comes within a mile of the original. Otis' version of "Shake" maybe comes the closest ;-)

It was released the same year that 'Doctor Hook and the Medicine Show" sold out, shaved the raggedy beards and put on polyester disco garb, and make more money with that pale song than any of their earlier freak flag music combined, with the exception of 'Cover of the Rolling Stone'...'Freaker's Ball' never really hit top 40.

That's cool, though

I'd like a nice nest egg like the one 'Only Sixteen' surely netted before I retire, too!

I'm with you LeeBB! The original Sam Cooke version is uncomparable.

And I personally think that Otis' version of Shake is better, but that's possibly because anything that Otis touched is golden to me.
