i have a big pp
Don't read this because it actually works. You will be kissed on the nearest possible Friday by the love of you life. Tomorrow will be the best day of your life. However if you don't post this you will die in 2 days. Now you've started reading so don't stop. This is so scary put this on at least 5 songs in 143 minutes. When done press f6 and your lover's name will come on the screen in big letters. This is so scary because it actually works

I'm 16 and I love this song
Man these lyrics , you have to be so in tuned with yourself to harness these kind of feelings. This man was very devoted and or gifted
Reminds of a Harrison Ford film.
Sam the man. Left us too soon. Love his music.
This is a really sweet song showing how simple life can be
millerky3
This song really shows us that the world isn't that complicated.

Why is this on my hits from the '70s program channel?????
I really like this version. I also love the Herman Hermits version too great song still today
Great song; can't go wrong with Mr. Cooke on vocals. Just this past weekend I heard a version done by Art Garfunkel, Paul Simon and James Taylor. JT's voice added to the obviously sublime harmonies of S&G was one step nearer heaven. :)
hahaha no dis.but the things we tend to say is like trying to argue with a recording,Iv e done it myself ,then catch myself hahaha-chill everybody n lets groove to our tunes
it's all about balance, sallyahrk.
WHAT THE F**K IS THIS DOING ON MY THRASH METAL STATION!?
boricua-mami 7 8

gosh i love this song!
i agree he was great at least from what i heard im 14 but i love his music
Sam left us way too soon!
In my high school phyics class circa 1965, we all had slide rules! They were pretty accurate too. We didn't have hand held computers way back then! This good ol' Sam Cooke song brings back some very good times. Ohhh yah!!

I love sam cooke,s music and i love oldies
zaclojac
Slide rule was used by engineers for calculations ( f o r c e , a c c e l e r a t i o n , v e l o c i t y , s t r e s s e s , t h e r m o d y n a m i c s , p r e s s u r e ) n o w the great pc has replaced the slide rule.
FOOOOOOD FIIIIIGHT!!

Harrison Ford sings to Kelly McGillis -- the film "Witness." So sweet.
