I went to YouTube to get him singin' it for your convenience, but there wasn't one.

my fave of his is def "a change is gonna come" bc i love that he wrote it in response to a dylan tune...but lately i've been enjoying "cupid" too..

i'm a little late, but i'm so in love with sam. my favorite song is 'bring it on home to me'. it's really sad that he died so young and there is not many videos of him on the net! (sorry for my english - i'm brazilian!)
