The album itself is a raucous dancefloor monster but unfortunately I thought this volume was just ok. It's solid, going into the album and it's influences on modern day acts.

If I could go back in time and see three concerts, in no particular order they’d be: The Beatles at Shea in 1965, Sinatra’s last concert in 1995, and Sam Cooke at the Harlem Square Club in 1963. It’s a legendary performance with an equally incredible live album, and reading about it was a joy. This book not only did an amazing job outlining the set list and transitions between the songs, but other parts of Cooke’s life and musical career. The last chapter talked quite a bit about “A Change is Gonna Come” as well, which I consider one of the greatest songs of all time. If you’re not a fan of Sam Cooke, go listen to him. And after you’re done pick up this book.
