Sam Cooke - Home (When Shadows Fall) RCA Records 1964

"Home (When Shadows Fall)" is a song written by Harry Clarkson, Geoffrey Clarkson and Peter van Steeden in 1931. Van Steeden's contribution was administrative and he was compensated by being given writer credit. It was later performed by soul singer Sam Cooke and appeared on his album "Ain't That Good News" in 1964. The song is covered by Paul McCartney on his standards album, Kisses on the Bottom, released February 7, 2012. Samuel Cook (January 22, 1931 -- December 11, 1964), known by his stage name Sam Cooke, was an American recording artist, singer-songwriter and entrepreneur. Cooke is considered to be one of the pioneers and founders of soul music[4] and is commonly known as the King of Soul for his distinctive vocal abilities and influence on the modern world of music. His pioneering contributions to soul music led to the rise of Aretha Franklin, Bobby Womack, Al Green, Curtis Mayfield, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and popularized the likes of Otis Redding and James Brown. Cooke had 30 U.S. top 40 hits between 1957 and 1964, and a further three after his death. Major hits like "You Send Me", "A Change Is Gonna Come", "Cupid", "Chain Gang", "Wonderful World", and "Twistin' the Night Away" are some of his most popular songs. Cooke was also among the first modern black performers and composers to attend to the business side of his musical career. He founded both a record label and a publishing company as an extension of his careers as a singer and composer. He also took an active part in the African-American Civil Rights Movement. On December 11, 1964, Cooke was fatally shot by the manager of the Hacienda Motel in Los Angeles, California, at the age of 33. At the time, the courts ruled that Cooke was drunk and distressed, and that the manager had killed Cooke in what was later ruled a justifiable homicide. Since that time, the circumstances of his death have been widely questioned. Oh, when shadows fall And trees whisper day is ending My thoughts are ever wending home Oh when crickets call My heart is forever yearning Someday to be returning oh home When the hills conceal the setting sun Stars begin a-peepin, one by one And oh night covers all and though fortune may forsake me My dreams will ever take oh home Oh Night covers all and though fortune may forsake My dreams will ever take oh home
