Did Sam Cooke, along with Ray Charles, really "invent" soul music? Maybe.
Did he write and perform two amazing songs that before last week I had never heard, or had sometime heard and unforgivably forgotten? Yes he did.
"That's Where It's At" and "Good Times," both of which Colin Meloy performs on his rare but worthwhile EP of Sam Cooke songs, are wonderful examples of Sam's ability to compose songs conveying mixed feelings, feelings we hardly have words for--a quality which, I like to say, marks all great art.
Listen and tell me what you think!
