ON this date in 1957 - Sam Cooke's first single "You Send Me" was released.
Sam had come upon this lyric while visiting Central Park and overhearing the Bun Man (smooth as liquid) make his latest pitch to his current female friend...
"At first I thought it was infatuation, But, oh, it's lasted so long, Now I find myself wanting; To marry you and take you home..."
Bun always had a way w/ the words...

Hey, want to hear someone who sounds like a modern-day Sam Cooke, then get into James Hunter...
The Dude can solid sing and play some rockin' R&B.
