Sam Cooke Meets...Bill Clinton

I tweeted during Bill's speech this week that parts of it reminded me a little of this Sam Cooke performance in Miami about 50 years ago--one of the greatest live vocal performances in history of rock and soul (re-enacted at the start of the Will Smith Ali film).  Listen for the..."listen to this" and "I want you to listen to this" and  "now listen, this part is important."  And Bill brought it on home.  (Note:  Sam here was still not as great as some of his Soul Stirrers gospel recordings, such as this epic live track.)
