Ryan Daly @ryandaly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026That might be apocryphal, but I happen to agree with it, so I believe he said it. It’s also alleged that Sam’s dying words were, “Lady, you shot me.” I choose to believe that, too. 100
Ryan Daly @ryandaly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026The album is one of the greatest live concert recordings of all time; it’s certainly my favorite. The high point is “Bring it On Home to Me”. Allegedly, Sam said this was the best, most pure version of the song he had written; this is the way the song was supposed to be heard. 100
Ryan Daly @ryandaly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026The executives thought it would terrify the whites and damage his standing in mainstream pop music, so they didn’t release it until more than twenty years after he died. 100
Ryan Daly @ryandaly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Sam was the King of Soul, the biggest crossover success up to that point. But this live performance, this was Sam singing to a black audience. His people. It was wild, rambunctious, sexual, unchecked. 100
Ryan Daly @ryandaly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026RCA recorded Sam Cooke: Live at the Harlem Square Club, 1963, but they didn’t get the performance they were expecting, and promptly shoved the tape in a drawer with no intention of releasing it to the masses. 100
Ryan Daly @ryandaly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026The live version that Sam recorded, though, that’s all him. That’s the essence of Sam. It’s raw and it’s strained and it’s yearning and it’s perfect. 100
Ryan Daly @ryandaly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026On any other occasion, Sam’s 1962 release of “Bring it On Home to Me” would be my favorite song of all time. It’s beautiful. Lou Rawls’ voice adds some muscularity to Sam’s vocals, but very nearly overshadow them. It doesn’t quite sound like Sam singing, and that’s the only flaw with the track. 100
Ryan Daly @ryandaly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Otis Redding, Percy Sledge, the Commitments, and Mandy Moore all tackled it. Even the Dixie Chicks did a sweet a cappella rendition. The best version, by a mile, is Sam Cooke’s, and not just because it’s the original, because I’m not talking about the original. 100
Ryan Daly @ryandaly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026And if I permitted myself to include duplicates, this list might feature four or five versions of “Bring it On Home to Me”. The Animals and the Supremes both covered it in 1965 just months after Sam Cooke’s death. Van Morrison has an amazing version of the song. 100
Ryan Daly @ryandaly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Songs make me a kid again, playing Little League and catching lightning bugs on a summer night. Songs make me forget about the harry blob I see in the mirror. Songs rejuvenate me. If music is my church, then this list is my Book of Psalms. 100
Ryan Daly @ryandaly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Songs that Jack Black described in High Fidelity as “old sad bastard music” can take me to a smoke-filled diner, where I’m forced to watch through a rain-splattered window the girl I thought was perfect get into another guy’s car. 100
Ryan Daly @ryandaly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Songs make me feel romantic, depressed, happy, angry, horny, and nostalgic. Songs with strong socio-political statements like protest rock or hip-hop make me want to get in someone’s face and argue. 110
Ryan Daly @ryandaly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Nothing, however, provokes a more immediate emotional response than the song on the radio—or streaming service. 100
Ryan Daly @ryandaly.bsky.social · 24/09/20261. “Bring it On Home to Me” by Sam Cooke More than any other art form, music has the most emotional influence on me. Great movies and TV can keep me entertained, can quench my thirst for narrative drama and character. Likewise fiction and poetry, which tap into my oft-neglected critical nature. 100

Ryan Daly @ryandaly.bsky.social · 23/09/2026In fact, I love this song so much I almost included a French rap version of it on my list of 45 songs. I love Yannick’s version almost as much as the original, but I decided it was too close to my rule of not repeating bands/artists/songs on the list in order to spread the wealth. 100

Ryan Daly @ryandaly.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Are the two different bridges with different singers and melodies? Or is the second bridge sung by the bassist a pre-chorus? Isn’t the chorus just the line “Oh what a night” that begins each verse? I don’t know enough about songwriting to understand but it’s goddamn unusual, and I adore it. 100
Ryan Daly @ryandaly.bsky.social · 23/09/2026“December, 1963 (Oh What a Night)” is an awesome song. It’s also very weird, structurally speaking. The verses are sung by the drummer. The group’s star, Frankie Valli just sings the chorus… or is it the bridge? His part sure doesn’t sound like a chorus; it’s not the ear-candy singalong part. 100
Ryan Daly @ryandaly.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Anyway, what was the point of this? Oh yeah, in my movie, the love theme for the vampire and werewolf would be the Four Seasons’ “Oh What a Night”. Because they’re both creatures of the night, get it? And because disco was back in vogue then. 100
Ryan Daly @ryandaly.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Alas, the system bypassed me entirely, and that’s why I’m not a Hollywood writer today. (I won’t even tell you about how Captain America: Civil War ripped off my idea for a Batman vs. Superman movie.) 100
Ryan Daly @ryandaly.bsky.social · 23/09/2026See, Underworld ripped off the roleplaying game instead of ripping off me, who ripped off the TV show based on the game. Underworld went to the source, and I, as middleman, got screwed. The movie should ripped off my idea that ripped off the game; that way I could’ve been part of a legal quagmire. 100
Ryan Daly @ryandaly.bsky.social · 23/09/2026There ended up being a legal dispute between the filmmakers and White Wolf, the publishing company behind Vampire: the Masquerade. It was extremely disheartening. 100
Ryan Daly @ryandaly.bsky.social · 23/09/2026A few years later still, and Angela shows me this movie, Underworld, and damn if it didn’t include the same ideas as my story. 100
