Q abt early Sam Cooke rec


halfnote

Recommended Posts

Just been listening to "Bring It Home" / Sam Cooke rec.

Never noticed befor that there's a lower vocal.

Anyone know who ?

 

Also wonder abt the string arr.

What's best source for such info ?

 

I have no idea who arranged the strings, but the backing vocalist is Lou Rawls.

 

According to Wiki:

 

 

In 1961, Cooke started his own record label, SAR Records, with J. W. Alexander and his manager, Roy Crain.[27] The label soon included the Simms Twins, the Valentinos (who were Bobby Womack and his brothers), Bobby Womack and Johnnie Taylor. Cooke then created a publishing imprint and management firm named Kags[28] before leaving Keen to sign with RCA Victor.[29] One of his first RCA singles was "Chain Gang", which reached No. 2 on the Billboard pop chart.[30] It was followed by more hits, including "Sad Mood",[31] "Cupid",[32] "Bring it on Home to Me" (with Lou Rawls on backing vocals),[33] "Another Saturday Night",[34] and "Twistin' the Night Away".[35]
