Sam Cooke Wonderful World - P/S UK 7" vinyl single (7 inch record / 45) Instrumentation by Rene Hall (arrangement), Adolphus Asbrook (bass), Ronald Selico (drums), and Cliff White (guitar).Sam Cooke Peace In The Valley Italian vinyl LP.Written by Sam Cooke, Lou Adler, and Herb Alpert.Davis writes a series of books entitled Don't Know Much About, referencing this song. In a 2005 poll by the UK's Channel Four, the song was voted the 19th greatest song ever to feature in a commercial. As a result, the Sam Cooke version of the song became a hit in the UK, reaching #2 in re-release. The original Sam Cooke version of the song comprised the title soundtrack of the 2005 film Hitch.Īfter a Greg Chapman cover of the song was featured prominently in the 1985 film Witness in a scene where Harrison Ford dances with Kelly McGillis, "Wonderful World" gained further exposure, particularly in the United Kingdom, where a soundalike version of the song, produced by Karl Jenkins and Mike Ratledge and with vocals sung by Barbadian Tony Jackson, a backing singer for Paul Young, appeared in "Bath", a well-remembered, Roger Lyons-directed 1985 advertisement for Levi's 501 jeans. The song was also included in the 1983 film Breathless. The song is used in the classic 1978 film Animal House in the well-known lunchroom scene. In 2004, the song was placed 373rd in Rolling Stone magazine's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. In 1978, Art Garfunkel recorded the song as a ballad, with Paul Simon and James Taylor as backing vocalists. Otis Redding recorded a version of the song on his 1965 album Otis Blue. The Hermits' version was, according to singer Peter Noone and guitarist Keith Hopwood, done as a tribute to Cooke upon his death. Herman's Hermits had a major hit with an uptempo version of the song (omitting one verse) in the mid-1960s, which reached #4 in the U.S. Lou Rawls stood about a meter and a half away from Sam singing in the same microphone. The drummer on this track, whose name is unknown, was likely around 15 or 16 years old and, as legend has it, recruited off of the street. Bumps Blackwell and the regular session drummer were not present at the session. John Siamas of Keen had engineer Deano Lappas look through the Keen vaults for a good song, exactly as Art Rupe of Specialty had looked through the vaults and come up with 'I'll Come Running Back To You'. A bouncy love song, the lyrics have the singer disavowing knowledge of academic subjects (the song is often referred to informally by its first line, "Don't know much about history"), but affirming the object of his affection "but I do know that I love you".Ĭooke had already left Keen for RCA when the song was 'discovered'. The song was released as a single in the spring of 1960, reaching #12 in the US and #27 in the UK. It was first recorded by Cooke in 1959 for his 1960 album, The Wonderful World of Sam Cooke. The song was first attributed to the pseudonym "Barbara Campbell" who was Sam Cooke's high school sweetheart.
