Cha cha cha

Post number 200. Whoopeee!

I found out that Monday was Sam Cooke's birthday; he would have been 76 if he was still with us. I wish I'd known that yesterday; fun as "VD Is For Everybody" was, it could have waited...

I've had a particular clip on my to-post list for quite some time, and now, belatedly, here it is.



This is Sam from 1958, lip-synching to "Cha Cha Cha" with Jackie Wilson (who died exactly 23 years and two days ago) on a program called The George Klein Show. It's fun; they're just two friends goofing around and looking soooooo smooth as they do.
