Sam Cooke: “Blowin’ in the Wind”

Blowin Wind

Sam Cooke, who was born on January 22, 1931, was one of the century’s greatest singer-songwriters.  He also was an electric performer, and while there are not many videos of him singing live available on YouTube, the one below captures him singing Bob Dylan’s “Blowin’ in the Wind.”

Not surprisingly, Cooke puts his own stamp on Dylan’s song.  Check it out.
