Charles Brown - I Want to Go Home free for downloading

Wow - I never realized how indebted "Bring It On Home To Me" was to this song. Brown should have made a lot of money from Sam Cooke's song. Thanks for posting it.

Now this was news to me. Thanks for uploading!

This song was not just an inspiration for Sam Cooke. Prior to recording Bring It On Home, Sam Cooke and Charles Brown had planned to record in Los Angeles together.Sam Cooke loved I Want To Go Home and wanted to record it with Brown.  Brown skipped the session and went to the racetrack instead.The first RCA release of Bring It On Home To Me credits Charles Brown with half the songwriting, and Sam Cooke always maintained that Charles Brown shared the credit. Brown never got a dime for this during his lifetime. After Sam Cooke's death, Alan Klein, noted for his tough persona and unethical practices, had Brown's name removed from subsequent releases of the song. From wikipedia: "Klein became the business manager of Sam Cooke, and in 1963 Klein started to take control of all aspects of Cooke's career and demanded an independent record company. The role of business manager, someone who would take the artist's side in negotiations with the recording industry, was unprecedented.[citation needed] Klein secured an unprecedented agreement, with Cooke starting a new label (Tracey Records, to be distributed by RCA Records) that would own the rights to all of his future recordings, site fees, gate revenues for concerts, 10 percent of all records sold, and back royalties."
