I love YOU SEND ME as sung by Sam Cooke. It's such a beautiful song and he has such a gorgeous voice. He often sings very intricate internal vocal runs and makes it seem so easy.
Here's a link to a great cover by jazz vocalist Rachelle Ferrell.
I really dig the reggae groove on this. Too bad Amy's personal life is such a mess.

Often people become so enamored with covers, they forget to give praise to the original song. Thanks for giving that praise here!

I've always loved his voice. I especially love HIS covers of jazz standards.... stuff like "I'm Just A Lucky So and So" and "But Not For Me."
I will definitely check out your book. Thanks for the info.
Funny, but but the big band songs took a while to grow on me, but eventually they did!
I especially love "Don't Get Around Much Anymore." The way Sam builds intensity in the song is nothing short of masterful.
Other classic covers that are gems are Sam's versions "Moonlight in Vermont" (it'll make you cry!), "To Each His Own," and "Lucky Old Sun."
