Shelved for over 20 years, Sam Cooke's Live at the Harlem Square
Club, 1963, stands alongside Otis Redding's Live in Europe and
James Brown's Live at the Apollo as one of the finest live soul
albums ever made. It also reveals a musical, spiritual, emotional,
and social journey played out over one night on the stage of a
sweaty Miami club, as Cooke made music that encapsulated everything
he had ever cut, channeling forces that would soon birth "A Change
is Gonna Come," the most important soul song ever written. This
book covers Cooke's days with the Soul Stirrers, the gospel unit
that was inventing a strand of soul in the 1950s, and continues on
to his string of hit singles as a solo artist that reveal far more
about this complex man and the complex music he was always
fashioning. A writer and an agent of social change, he absorbed the
teachings of Billie Holiday and Bob Dylan while reconciling his own
identity and what fans expected of him. Fleming explores how this
towering soul artist came to reconcile so many disparate elements
on a Florida stage on a winter night in 1963-a stage that extended
well into the future, beyond Cooke's own life, beyond the 1960s,
and into a perpetual here-and-now. Live at the Harlem Square Club,
1963 will resonate so long as we all have need to look into
ourselves and square our differences and become more human, and
more connected with others in our humanity.
