Not the first Sam Cooke post, and it won’t be the last. This man’s talents were endless, and if his life was not cut so short Cooke would probably have continued to write hit records into his sixties, and maybe longer (he would have turned 79 last month). His songs were short and sweet – out of his 30 most popular songs, only two were over three minutes. ”Another Saturday Night” is Cooke’s account of being date-less on a Saturday night, he even mentions a friend trying to put him onto a chick that looked like Frankenstein. To quote his words before the start of the first verse, “dig this.”
