About this album
Live At The Harlem Square Club, 1963 is one of Sam Cooke’s most electrifying statements, revealing the gospel-rooted power that studio hits could only hint at. Recorded live in Miami in 1963, the set finds Cooke fronting a small, responsive club audience with far more grit and intensity than on his polished pop records. Long held back from release, it later became widely regarded as essential because it shows his voice, charisma and band in raw, unguarded form. Songs such as “Chain Gang”, “Bring It On Home To Me” and “Twistin' The Night Away” take on a tougher, more immediate edge here, making the album a landmark live soul recording.
