Sam Cooke. Feel It (Don't Fight It) y Havin´ a Party

Tal día como hoy hace cincuenta años Sam Cooke hubiese cumplido 35 años. Quién sabe hasta donde podría haber llegado este sujeto con su música. Lo que permanece impoluto es su inmenso legado. Cualquier día es bueno para hacer sonar un tema de Cooke. A mi me gustan todas sus facetas, la más pop, la crooner, la cruda y directa del inalcanzable Live at the Harlem Square Club... Pasan los años y pueden salir imitadores de debajo de las piedras pero llegar a ese nivel... Puff, eso es imposible. El mejor directo de todos los tiempos con el inicio más cool y la despedida con más clase que te puedas imaginar

Feel it, feel it

Feel it, feel it

Baby when the band is playing

Oh and that solid beat

Oh, make you wanna move, make you wanna groove

Make you wanna pat your feet

Don't fight it, don't fight it, feel it

No, now when we dance close together

With your cheeck close to mine

And you begin to feel a funny little thrill

Moving up your spine

Don't fight it, don't fight it, feel it

Oh now, baby when the swinging music

Oh, makes you wanna flip

Oh, don't be in pain, trying to restrain

Go ahead and move your hips

Oh, baby when you're dancing near me

And I feel I wanna tease

Oh and when I do, the feeling gets you

When you feel you wanna squeeze

Don't fight it, don't fight it, just

Feel it, feel it, feel it

Oh now, baby

When the swinging music

Oh, make you wanna flip

Oh, don't be in pain, trying to restrain

Go ahead, shake them hips

Oh, baby when you're dancing near me

And I feel I wanna tease

Oh and when I do, the feeling gets yo

When you feel you wanna squeeze

Don't fight it, don't fight it, just

Feel it, feel it, feel it

We're having a party
dancing to the music 
played by the DJ
on the radio
the cokes are in the icebox
the popcorn's on the table
me and my baby, we're out here on the floor

So listen, Mr. DJ
keep those records playing
'cause I'm having such a good time
dancing with my baby

Everybody's swinging
Sally's doing that twist now
if you take request, I....
I got a few for you
play that song called Soul Twist
play that one called I Know
don't forget the Mashed Potatoes
no other songs will do

Let me tell you Mr., Mr. DJ
why don't you keep those records playing
'cause I'm having such a good time
dancing with my baby

Having a party--yeah
everybody's swinging--oh we're
dancing to the music--yeah
on the radio--oh we're
having a party--man
everybody's swinging--yeah
dancing to the music--yeah
on the radio--say it one more time

We're having a party--yeah
everybody's swinging--oh we're
dancing to the music--yeah 
on the radio (song fades and ends)
