Lonely Island (Eden Ahbez) by Sam Cooke, conducted by Bumps Blackwell

This release came in-between Cooke’s hit “For Sentimental Reasons” and “Win Your Love For Me.” It was written by pioneer hippie ‘eden ahbez’ (real name George Aberle), who is best-remembered as composer of Nat King Cole’s late-1940s “Nature Boy” hit. The commonly-found reissue version of “Lonely Island” includes a vocal overdub by Sam during the intro (not part of the original hit heard here).

Pop Chart Peaks: Billboard 26 (sales) 39 (Top 100), Music Vendor 30, Cash Box 39 - R&B Chart Peak 10
