Edit for headphones, June 2021. Sam Cooke was the composer and the first one to perform this song, released on May 8, 1962. The song peaked at number two on Billboard's Hot R&B Sides chart, and also charted at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song has become a pop standard, covered by numerous artists of different genres. It is one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that 'Shaped Rock And Roll'. Sam initially offered the song to fellow singer Dee Clark, but he turned it down. Captain Alberto Bertorelli would say "What a mistaka to maka"...
Sam must have been inspired by (or should I write: it is a copy of) Charles Brown's "I Want To Go Home" https://youtu.be/KFaNWqk_tWU
Further more I think that Lou Rawls was a bit to eager on his backing vocals here.
The source of this edit is the song on cd three of the box set "Amazing Early 60s Box: 88 Hard-To-Find Hits" (Complete 60s – 12201).
