- One of the most famous songs of Sam Cooke, the "father of soul".
Cupid draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me
Cupid please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart for me
Now I don't mean to bother you
But I'm in distress
There's danger of me losing all of my happiness
For I love a girl who doesn't know I exist
And this you can fix So...
Cupid draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me
Cupid please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart for me
Cupid with your arrow make her love strong for me
I promise I wll love her until eternity
I know between the two of us her heart we can steal
help me if you will So...
Cupid draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me
Cupid please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart for me
Cupid
don't you hear me
calling you
I need you
Cupid
help me - เพลง

Yea lol herd it on radio before and thought yea its a banger lol love this

🤡🤡
No auto tune, no reverb, no major studio vocal editing……just raw talent !
There is definitely reverb in this. In fact there was a lot of natural reverb used on records from this time.
The reverb is from the bathroom they used in the attic at Motown - Pioneer before any other studio y’all should hit the Motor Museum at least once in your life.
Yeah , I don't think you know much about studio recording process
@@Victoria-fl3oqWhere is it located
I heard that the reverb on this was a room in the recording studio called an "echo chamber". Definitely not digital reverb! But you are so right about raw talent and no auto tune. What a voice!
The man was born to sing
R.I.P Sam
Deffo m8 he gained his angel wings beautiful song x
Thinking of my grandma right now. Growing up in the Bronx whenever I went to her apartment I would always hear Sam. Amazing how music can bring you back. Always loved his voice.
Yes it is amazing how current songs from childhood can bring back a flood of memories. Miss being a child when I hear current songs.
@@triahsegay8606 Me too. The magical innocent time of being a child.
@@triahsegay8606 ppl u
Que buena inspiración de San. Se fue tan joven.
I think my parents driving back to Texas every year from Georgia. Oldies songs played the whole time.
You can feel emotion from his voice. It's so strong. Just heartfelt and pure.
hits your heart and soul
@@lyndamartinez2257 Certainly does.
I remember sitting in my doctor's surgery last year and this timeless track came on. The waiting room and reception area fell silent as everyone listened. What a gorgeous tone Sam Cooke's voice had.
@@helencampbell4900 yes yes yes! it was all abt that magnificent tone
@@lyndamartinez2257 Indeed it was Lynda. Indeed it was.
You stay safe. x
yes!!!
Timeless. This man has ONE of the greatest voices of all time.
Cory Gillmer Preach! I wish I could have told him so.
one of the greatest songs ever. I was born in
1945 in West tn. I didn't Know I was white
until I started to Grammer school. some Of
my best friends today are black, and I am
so happy with that. you should be happy
to.
Cory,I would only put Tony Williams,lead singer of the Platters ahead of him.I can't give higher praise than that.
As an aside,shame his life was cut short.Adds to his legend I guess.
THE greatest voice
You said it all
Steve Perry, the lead singer of Journey, was enthralled by this song, and Cookes way of singing...if your a fan of Steve Perry you will hear Cooke in everything he sings ❤
Not really. He failed miserably in that case lol no one but Sam cooke could ever sound like Sam Cooke.
@@eileenkelly4760 haha you are funny
I'm actually here because of Steve.
I can hear Steve singing this.
@@eileenkelly4760 Yes really. Saying "The Voice" failed miserably is ludicrous.
I'd always say Journey's new vocalists were copies of Steve Perry, well never knew it until now we know who Steve Perry copied LOL.
My mom used to Sam Cooke all the time while I was growing up. She passed a few months ago, I really miss her. 🌹🌹🌹
I'm sorry for you're loss my mom wasn't the best mom growing up but she fed me clothed me . I will be lost without her
I couldn't imagine you're pain my friend I'm so sorry my she live threw us with great music such as this .
Greetings to you from Buffalo New York
@@Davidjon1946 thanks, I'm doing good now.
Sorry for your loss 🙏🙏
She has gone to a better place.
I'm sorry for your loss.may she keep resting with angels
Sam Cooke without a doubt one of the best singers of all time!
Correct
Nooooo doubt about it. None
Sam Cooke looks like Laurence Fishburne.
Tremendous talent cut short way way too soon.
A great singer songwriter. No doubt about it.
Probably one of the greatest voices ever
I'm 72, and I still love this man, Sam, cook. And this song; hurt me so bad when it came on the news he was shot and killed. I cried so hard. Continue to rest in peace, Sam. Your music will live on forever.
I did not know that😥.
His music is legend.
Love him
💔🙏🏻
Damn man. I'm embarrassed to admit that I've never heard this before. It's really beautiful. A Steve Perry interview sent me here. Now I see exactly where Steve got his inspiration and influence from. No doubt.
I watched the same Steve Perry interview and needed to watch and hear this song again! Reminders of an earlier time and loved this song so much! What a great voice!
I’ve heard the song, but that interview sent me here too. I see similarities in their styles.
I too knew the song and listening to Steve Perry in his Dan Rather interview made me have to listen to it again. @Mima T, I too can hear the similarities in their style. :)
I totally agree with you Dan, I came here for the same reason... We love Steve, but somenting happend in the wat to heaven (Phill Collins)...!
Watch the movie innerspace, with Dennis quaid and meg Ryan, directed by Steven Spielberg great film, thats where I got this song from years ago when I was a kid. Merry Christmas brother 👍
At a time in music when very few artists as big as Sam Cooke wrote and arranged their own songs, Sam did it all. He was an accomplished musician and prolific composer. If there ever was a more perfect voice than his, I've never heard it. 😊
The way he annunciates ‘cry’. My god it goes right through you.
Bruno Mars was definitely taking notes
It most certainly does...it's a undescribable feeling that you can only experience with music like this
Pierces your soul
I agree!
Sam Cooke has a quality in his voice that is difficult to describe.. It's as if it's from another world.. Absolutely beautiful..
Love your comment ❤
Dear Laura, Many thanks for your thoughtful note. Sam was indeed a remarkabe singer. All best wishes, Beau
Melancholy and wistful
Mary Anne, Very well put. Many thanks, Beau
I close my eyes and I picture Steve Perry every now and then
Bless you for leaving your music for generations to learn about and enjoy. A legend lives on... ♥️🙏😇
The night my buddy found out that he had cancer he showed up at our house. We talked and listened to music and when this song came on my buddy requested that we play it over and over, he fell in love with this song that night. He passed away a few months later and every time I think of him I think of that night and this song. Rest in peace DJ
AnimalCrackheads... May he continue to rest peacefully🙏
AnimalCrackheads jordab^
Sorry about your friend.
:( DJ is watching over you. Your gonna be ok. RIP DJ
God rest his soul. And yours.
Oh my! One of the most beautiful songs ever recorded. The great Sam Cooke's voice, along with all that beaautiful music in such a beautiful melody!
I'm 48 now. Been listening to Sam for almost three decades. God's will, I will keep on enjoying this melodious sound till the day comes.
Love You SAM COOK
No@@user-ui2bj2gz2t
He is a legend. I still listen to his songs.
RIP and long live The King of Soul
Sam Cooke (January 22, 1931 - December 11, 1964), aged 33
You will always be remembered as a legend.
Sam Cooke was a very under-rated songwriter, his songs, touched many souls.
Like many artists, then he gets discovered all over again. Sam Cooke Great musician.
RIP 🙏🏻
Who's listening Feb 2021 Remember this when I was very young. I will be 73 this May
I am!!!
Happy early birthday from a youngster 😊
March 1st 2021 here
Oh wow😁 well happy early birthday
My mother likes this song. She's around the same age as you.
A voice of gold…he could really do it all
THAT IS TOO MANY DISLIKES FOR SAM COOKE, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YALL?? How u think the future generations got where they are, by listening, sampling, & etc...to this day i wud put on Sam Cooke music before a lot of the musicians these days. His voice jus flowed out effortlessly, it was like all he had to do was jus open his mouth & there it was...this man was a living legend & left a legacy here that wud surpass any R&B singer & rapper. Don't mess with Sam Cooke cz he had rare multiple talents with a voice that CANNOT be duplicated, something the music industry cud use right now!! R.I.P SAM COOKE ♥️
This is what you call a classic so peaceful😌😌
Pure talent. Voice comin' from his heart
I love this song and Sam Cooke. Never tire of his voice. Xx
Mr Sam cooke one of the greatest singers to ever exist
This famous singer has such an intoxicating voice. All one has to do is listen to the lyrics, Listen to the sincerity in his voice, and one becomes totally mesmerized by his famous and melodious voice. May he rest in peace, and may we continue to enjoy the rich and awesome legacy that he continues to give us. God rest his sweet soul.
Omg! What a beautiful song! And an awesome and amazing artist! I could never get tired of listening to him sing!
Sam Cooke is just iconic.
I love his song "Chaingang".
You are very much missed Mr. Cooke.
My brother and his wife got married a week ago and this was the song for their first dance. I cried, there was just so much love in the atmosphere. I'll always think of this song when I think of their wedding. Beautiful
What a weird song to play at a wedding considering it’s about a guy who loves a woman who doesn’t love him back.
@@karmatt3098 Wow you must be a hit at parties
One of the best songs of time. My whole life goes through me. In kaleidoscopic colours. What fabulously talented guy. Just to be cut down in his prime. So sad
@@karmatt3098 that actually makes it more fitting, hes got a 55% chance to get divorced and 75% chance she does it.
❤️❤️❤️
this song will never die
The master once again showing off his incredible vocals. We were all robbed.
What a heavenly voice!
As I write this in the year 2020, this song is just as amazing as when it was first released 59 years ago in 1961. I'm sure it will continue to be so way into the 22nd Century.
Why do people do this shit?
@@Badfourgood do what
So glad my parents always put this on when i was little.
15 years later i still listen to it!
Eddy William, 30 years later I'm still listening 🌸❤️
45 years for me and still love it
30 years.
Suhey Fisher m
My mom has been listening to this "forever" (she's 85 year olds now)
The movie Innerspace introduced me to this magic in the 1980's and I haven't stopped loving it since! ❤️
Me too! It’s one of my favorite movies! Great cast, great story, great special effects, and, of course, great music!
Twisting the night away
One of the greatest soul singers. - rhythm and soul in harmony
What a handsome man. And, such a beautiful voice. Timeless stuff.
Indeed
⁰0⁰
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Some dumb ass bitch keep tripping
Her peaches and she God aid
Sam had EVERYTHING!! Not only one of the most beautiful voices ever, but he was also a strikingly handsome guy with a natural grace and style!! The Gods truly smiled on this man!!
Agreed. He had it all.
Still sounds so fresh and wonderful.
Sam Cooke brings you back to a beautiful place and time with that unbelievable voice.
What a tragic loss !
I first heard this song when I was 5 years old. I'm 98 now. Every time I hear it, it evokes some serious nostalgia
Who doesn't love this track from Sam Cooke? If this doesn't make you smile like a lunatic, nothing will.
I know 😁✌️
Sam Cooke: Wonderful talent! I was born in 1979 but I always loved hearing this on the Radio as a kid. Great memories.
This is a hit of hits much love form Jamaica 🇯🇲❤️🇯🇲❤️🇯🇲❤️🇯🇲
This is the song that Steve Perry listened and inspired him to be a singer, CAN U IMAGINE!😯
Oh my God. This is the greatest love song in human history. It's ashamed he died so young. RIP Father of Soul.
Sam Cooke is so bright.
"Cupid....I know between the two of us her heart we can steal. Help me if you will...." (What a line)
Cupid...you hit the mark!
No one has come close to his voice again , my love this song will always remind me of you love you so much .
What a Singer, he could turn every note into Gold ..
he really did!!!
😢😭😭😭i still miss sam,s music...what a big talented guy he was...today,s music is a totally heap of thrash!
@@jgmdewilde8078 I agree!
He was a gospel singer, that voice was meant to glorify God
Love the French horn in this. It's like another vocal line that counterpoints perfectly with Cooke's glorious lead.
YASSSSSS! Now I think of Sam every time I listen to Steve Perry. You can hear Sam Cooke's' influence all over Steve Perry's' vocals. Perry sent me down a Cooke rabbit hole!
I agree. ❤️
Yes two of music’s greatest male vocalists!
Sam Cooke one of the greatest singers of all times !!!!!!!!
This is one of those songs that just pops into my head every now and again .... just had to listen to it ... beautiful.
This music will never go out of fashion.
One of the all-time great Valentine's Day songs. Relevant even today.
Gosh! That’s an old, old song! Great voice.
I can still remember the day Sam Cooke died.....was in high school with very little cares except to enjoy the moment...we were in shock. One of the absolute best singers of all time.....
Absolutely beautiful voice,he had such sweet songs .R.I.P Sam Cooke ,legend.
Takes me back to simpler times, great times! God Bless Sam Cooke!
I’m now 78, I’m truly happy to have grown up with all the oldies of the 50, 60, 70, up to
2021 .. I loved this song when Sam gave this to Us way back in 1961, the oldies are still
rocking this world with their Music .. like Joe Brown, ex Beatle Members, R.Stones, Ray
Stevens, Sarah Jory, Ronnie Milsap, Cliff Richards, Rod Steward, and Many others still
put on live shows, they are all Legends with many Major Music Awards, Sad to say we
are running out of time, even my self, Music of today Is Crap sorry to say, I Love my Oldies Music.
One of if not the best song for us wallflowers who loved someone who didn't even know we existed.
I'm here because of the Steve Perry interview. I'm glad i came.
I am searching for and listening to all my mum's favourite songs online. I am crying as I listen to each of them. Mum RIP, I love and miss you so much
Beautiful voice. Can't imagine what girl could hear this and not have her heart melt.
I’m 14 and this is the music I listen to, literally I sit in my room and listen to records on my record player. My friends think i’m weird...
Weird Shmeird. You just have great taste in music and vintage things. I’m 23 and still old school in many ways.
It's called taste!
🖤🖤🖤🖤
You are weird. It’s what makes you great.
You?'re fine in my Book, Sweetheart...my sonn was the same way.
.!
To Me Sam Cooke is one of the finest singer & Songwriters of the 50 & 60's such a wonderful voice he does have
He had such a short life to have made a lifetime of music that remains timeless today!
Always reminds me of "Innerspace" with Martin Short and Dennis Quaid from 1987!✌️
Still listening to this song in 2023...beautiful ❤
It doesn't get any better than this. I know I always feel Better after hearing this song.
A saturday night in 1980 i returned home and told my dad i danced to the best record ever. Cupid by The Spinners. He told me i was not well and let me listen to this one. :-)
I was singing this to an elderly intellectually/developmentally disabled person and had to find it on TH-cam because she couldn't recognize it from my bad version. This is really one of the best pieces of music of all time.
Such a great talent he was!
This song never gets tiresome, I could play it over and over again. ❤️🎶
53 years gone. Never surpassed. This song sounds as fresh now as it did all those years ago when it first came out. Sam nobody sang liked you then and now! Boy are you missed.
Who disliked this video u don't know real music.. R.I.P. Sam Cooke
Quite agree. Gorgeous timeless track.
Why because you said so? Typical morons think everyone has to share your opinions or they’re wrong. Sad
Idk but over 1,000 people dislike it. Why do people check out a video they dont like? Why waste the time...
@Wayne Eastman LOL! I agree. Your post was eloquent and spot on.
All the chicks that got this played to them by jerks 😆
Sam cookes voice will go on forever. No time limit.💕😘
Absolutely
Absolutely
My favorite singer of this era and I'm 33 in 2020. These guys are timeless.
Brings all people together for the love of music! Bless u sam
Stunning voice and great singer.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I have nothing else but love for this man. An absolute legend 🥰😍
I love Sam but I get so sad listening to some of his music my heart aches for him he died a terrible way so young at the height of his career 😢 i can’t help but think what he could have achieved he didn’t die so soon
I feel exactly the same way. He's one of my favorite artists, and he would have done so much more. I believe in my heart that he was murdered, and he was innocent of the accusations drummed up against him.
He had a beautiful effortless delivery, nice range, and great songs. He is missed.
@reignman2112 Because he had a lot of money in his pocket. Also the lady that shot him was the motel manager, and not the call girl he was with. The call girl stole his money, and that's why he was angry. She had seen him earlier flashing a big wad of money in the bar he was at. It was likely an operation in that motel to steal people's money. Anyway the call girl definitely was lying, and was called out on it at the time.
reignman2112 Sam Cooke had $5000 stolen from him. The the math from 1964 to 2020 and u see how much money was stolen from him.
Don't know if it's true. He was shot and killed by a lady he was beating on
Sam 😄du bringst einem ☀️ Sonne, ins ❤️ Herz Danke dafür,werde dich nie vergessen, niemals***Love💕
This is the definition of good music, man. I miss this type of music. Wish more artists was like like the older generation musically speaking.
I can't even imagine someone not liking this, you must have no ideal what good music is especially by Mr. Sam Cooke , the fabulous Sam Cooke..RIP Mr. Sam Cooke your music lives on forever 2-21-21
Wow, came here because Steve Perry “the voice” noted how much this singer inspired him; especially this song as a child. I hear the definite influence on Perry’s music with Journey. Amazing! Stunning really.
one of the sweetest soul voices ever...
Now this is what you can call good music
This is WHEN music was music!
Amén!
How,right you are.😊
When I was younger, I loved Sam Cook's singing.
I was engaged and felt like all his songs were love songs. Sam Cook had such a smooth sexy voice. I wore out my vinyl records!
What a great individual artist. One of the best in his genre and any genre of all time , Mr Sam Cooke!
+Brian Myrie So true. He was an outstanding artist. "We still love you Sam Cooke"
Applause
I agree love this
agreed. very unrated by white america and almost forgotten by them. i, as a 27 year old milennial, recently discovered him and he puts most of the 60s singers to shame! i wish there were more singers like sam cooke now days! the only ones that come close to him is maybe john legend and bruno mars and even then they do sam cooke very little justice. he had so much more to give musically and socially had he not died so young. this song is the perfect example of what real music is.
nothing but respect for a Tru legend love all his music
I love his song's ... I sure wish there was a place to go listen & dance to this music with others who appreciate it
I'm 29 and only now just discovering this incredible music, and I think I'm in love with this man's voice! The first love of my life, my beautiful grandma, just passed and I have been listening to 40s,50s, and 60s music as a way to feel connected with her still.... so much talent and incredible music in these generations
One of my all-time great singers. I can remember my older sister just 😢 crying her eyes out every time she saw him on 📺 TV or heard his record on radio. Me being a small boy could not understand the behavior she was exhibitioning and I was 😕 confused. She never told me why. As I got older and started to carve out my own musical taste I started to listen to his voice and musical style, I soon realized why she was 😢 crying. His voice and style was like no other like I had never heard. His voice was like that of an angel. There will never be another one like him. God gave him to us just for a moment, but his beautiful voice and music lives on forever...Peace and 💘 Love...
One great song. Sam Cook was a legend.
I love this song!
Pure perfection. Any day, any year, any millennium. Period.
hundreds years from now people will feel all the joy from sam's magic voice!
Beautiful and one of the greatest
