I'll Come Running Back To You/ Forever

Here's a beautiful copy of this very early Sam Cooke release, which became his second chart hit after his opening smash, "You Send Me." Cooke had recorded earlier in the year for Specialty as "Dale Cook," releasing a different version of "Forever." Once he signed with RCA (which owned Keen), Specialty released this single to capitalize on Cooke's new fame as a Soul singer. Note: This 45 record has Near Mint-looking labels and vinyl, but the audio misses that mark because of some light surface noise.
