In complete contrast to yesterday’s post of a-ha performing their official 1994 Lillehammer Winter Olympic Games song Shapes That Go Together, today I’m featuring frontman and lead vocalist Morten Harket paying trubute to Sam Cooke, “the king of soul” and leading American civil rights activist, whom Morten greatly admired.
