Did Sam Cooke have the most perfect voice ever?

[Rhapscallion Démone]

This live performance by Lutha was so good Jamie Foxx had to sample it for that song he did with Kanye

 

[DPresidential]

Great voice, but Luther's voice never screamed the potential to be...risky.

I don't know if I'm making sense. Luther couldn't sing to you about the world ending around you... Sam could... and make it sound sweet.

Yeah, I understand where you are coming from completely. His catalogue wasn't as diverse as Sams.

 

[D.C Young]

we talking voice only? R. Kelly >>>>>

nah I dont think so man

R.Kelly is a genius by the way, and he got a dope voice

but his voice got a bit of a "accent" too it...I dont know how to describe it....

I wouldn't call that mans voice "angelic" the way I would with Sam Cooke

imo

 

[Premeditated]

The bish that shot him

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

[jadillac]

BRian McKnight posts vids on facebook every night of him singing a cover of other songs.

Dudes voice is as good as it was 25 yrs ago.

Dude is the king of runs & rifts. Vocals are like a live instrument or something.

R. Kelly is a great singer. But doesn't have the greatest voice ever, if that makes sense.

he's unreal.

Like never hits a bad note.

I'm glad some of y'all appreciate music

I wouldnt say that man.

I wasn't a Luther fan as a youngster, but I bought this live DVD for my mom. After watching it, I went and bought my own copy.

His vocal control and ability to run with precision.

This part is like vocal perfection....I can't even explain it. But NOBODY else could do this

 

[jadillac]

Also, did nobody even post "You Send Me" in here?

That's prob Sam Cooke's SMOOTHEST song.

 

[TheAnalyst504]

That brothers voice was angelic.

Like, with allot of great singers or artists, they all have great sounding voices,

but sometimes you can find a "flaw" (for lack of a better word) or something you dont like about their voice.

Like with Michael Jackson, you could say his voice was a little girly.

Or with Barry White, you could say his voice was too deep or too baritone sounding

(not saying his voice was bad, it was dope as hell, but that baritone voice is probably not for everyone)

or even with someone like the Weeknd(not trying to put him in the same category as the above singers),

you could say that his voice is too high pitched.....

but with Sam Cooke, I can't find anything about his voice that I dont like, it was just angelic.....











the live version of Bring It On Home To Me and the ending

Crazy thing is Sam Cooke's gospel work was even better than his secular work.



Breh

If you like Sam Cooke you gotta go to the sources.

 

[Cat piss martini]

Marvin Gaye and Donny Hathaway.
