"One Night Stand!" featuring the Photography of Greg Clark. Sixty years ago, Sam Cooke performed at a club in Miami. In early 1963, he recorded a live album called "One Night Stand" at the Harlem Square Club. The club was located in Overtown, Miami's historically African-American neighborhood. The recording was intense and vibrant, reflecting Cooke’s earlier gospel roots, and wasn’t what his label wanted for mainstream audiences. Due to its perceived intensity and rawness, RCA decided not to release it. However, in 1985, record executive Gregg Geller rediscovered the recordings and released it under a new title: “Live at the Harlem Square Club, in 1963”.
