When:
Short story:
Sam Cooke, Dion, Bobby Blue Bland, Little Willie John, Baby Washington, The Tymes, The King Pins, Freddie Scott, Gorgeous George and Joe Scott And His Orchestra play at Sulphur Dell Ball Park, Nashville, Tennessee, USA.Full article:
Dion : That was some tour. Memphis - you know, we were travelling around through Virginia, down through the South, Mid-Atlantic. lt was kind of tense at times. Not Sam Cooke. Sam Cooke was a real gentleman. Him and I talked a lot. But I'd say some of the other guys, some of the musicians - Bobby 'Blue' Bland's players, some of the roadies or whatever they were. The gophers, guys who were hanging on to Bobby 'Blue' Bland, they got attitudes. So that was a little difficult. Sam was kind of a champion for that, cooling everybody out. I miss him. He was quite unique. He was full of music.
