the animals + wilson pickett + sonny & cher + rod: bringing home some sam cooke
Late August has me thinking about summer romances and how they truly embody the season that inspires them – – steamy, starry and {many times} short-lived. Whether or not lovers are paying attention {and why would they be?}, another inevitable “S” word appears with the power of a wrecking ball – – September.
Their late-August angst deserves an anthem, a song about yearning and burning for someone and something that could never stay.
I nominate “Bring It On Home To Me,” and today, I’m serving up a few different covers of Sam Cooke’s soulful plea performed by The Animals, Wilson Pickett, Sonny & Cher and Rod Stewart. Just click on the photos below to tune in.
You so inspire me, Y. Glad we talked and xxoo
