  • Sam Cooke question

    From DianeE@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jun 5 15:48:01 2024
    In 1962 there was a Sam Cooke album track called "Sugar Dumpling," which
    wasn't very good. In 1965, 7 months after Sam Cooke's death, a single
    was issued on RCA Victor, a much better version of "Sugar Dumpling."
    But when was it recorded?
    One person on youtube says it was also in 1962 but that seems
    impossible; it's so different from the first track.

    I have the first "Sugar Dumpling" recorded 15 February 1962 at RCA in Hollywood and first released on the "Twistin' The Night Away" LP later
    that year. It did appear on a Living Stereo 33 single as well--"Twistin'
    The Night AWay"/"Sugar Dumpling"

    The second "Sugar Dumpling" recorded 11 September 1963 at same location
    first appears as the single
    RCA 47-8631 b/w "Bridge Of Tears" in July 1965

    Thanks, Raj, I was hoping you would know.
