Alright, first off, he ain’t heavy. Boo Radley is skinny as a muhfucker. Second off, my good friend here has released a remix for the old Radiohead “Nude” remixo contest, and let me tell you: it is a worthy thing.

Sam Cooke – That’s Where It’s At

Man, Sam Cooke is the greatest. Peter Guralnick wrote a great chapter on him in his 1986 book “Sweet Soul Music,” and that piece of writing continues to inspire. If there is time enough, I’ll post again about the great versatility, charisma and business-sense that made him one of the most important artists of the 20th century, but for now, how ’bout a song?

As far as I know, Cooke only recorded a couple of duets with Lou Rawls: the great “Bring It On Home To Me,” and the equally powerful “That’s Where It’s At.”

The tune was written by Cooke and his longtime manager and friend J.W. Alexander. “That’s great feeling,” says Cooke when he is coaching his SAR Records artists the Simms Twins on how to sing the lyrics. But really, as giving and encouraging as Cooke is, is there anyone else who can sing this song?

Well, the Simms Twins’ version is pretty admirable, as is this late 60′s version from Cleveland band Hesitstions, with the lead vocalist doing a very good Dave Prater.
