Why isn't any live gospel perfomance of sam cooke on line with the soul stirrers?

Answer 1

There are likely several reasons why live gospel performances of Sam Cooke with the Soul Stirrers are not widely available online. First, many performances from that era were not recorded or preserved, as recording technology was less accessible and not all performances were deemed significant enough to capture. Additionally, copyright and licensing issues may restrict the availability of such recordings. Lastly, the transition of Cooke from gospel to secular music might have overshadowed his gospel performances, leading to less emphasis on preserving that part of his legacy.
