The industry seems to create an overnight star just almost overnight.
It comes to think of it, it creates new record companies with about the same ease.
We have a young gentleman I want you to meet now who put himself and the company for which
he records into the big time with the very first release for both of them.
It was a song called You Set and Me.
And that record in turn has catapulted Sam Cooke into New York's Copacabana starting this Thursday.
And now here he is to sing an exciting arrangement.
One of the songs from his new keen album, the old standard All Man River.
Sam Cooke here he is.
