How many roads, etc.

I've been reading the excellent (so far) Sweet Soul Music, by Peter Guralnick--for my money, the best chronicler of rock and roll around. As the subtitle accurately states, it covers the rise of southern r&b in the '50s and '60s, including Sam Cooke's rise to fame (something the author revisits in the bio Dream Boogie, which I'll read ... someday). Anyway, I have a shocking lack of Cooke's music on my iTunes, so I went to the YouTubes to find some. Here's what I dug up--a mind-blowing Dylan cover. The audio's a little out of sync, but I think you get the gist. Enjoy.
