As fB implies, Lou provided the second vocal on many of Sam Cooke's hit records. He wasn't publicly credited (at least, not on the record labels), so many folks are unaware of this important part of his recorded legacy.

What I didn't know before reading some recent obits was that Lou and Sam grew up together in Chicago as elementary school classmates. There must have been some sweet sweet singing in that schoolyard!
