Contents.Background In 1962, decided it was time for Cooke to record a, and a warm January night at the Harlem Square Club in Miami was picked to record. The Harlem Square Club was a small downtown nightspot in Miami's historically of, and was packed with the singer's most devoted fans from his days singing gospel.
RCA found the results too loud, raw and raucous — not the Cooke the label was trying to break as an international pop star — and shelved the recordings for over two decades.In 1985, executive Gregg Geller discovered the tapes and quickly issued Live at the Harlem Square Club, 1963 that year. 'Sam was what we've come to call a crossover artist: He crossed over from gospel to pop, which was controversial enough in its day. But once he became a pop artist, he had a certain mainstream image to protect,' Geller said in 2013.
'The fact is, when he was out on the road, he was playing to a predominantly, almost exclusively black audience. And he was doing a different kind of show — a much more down-home, down-to-earth, gut-bucket kind of show than what he would do for his pop audience.' Three mixes of the album have been released. The original 1985 mix contains a louder audience response, creating a 'claustrophobic, frenzied power' and also features some minor instrumental studio overdubbing which was not used in subsequent mixes. The version included on the 2000 box set, The Man Who Invented Soul, turns the audience elements down, cleaning up Cooke's vocals as well as the music. The 2005 remaster generally splits the difference between these two releases.

Steve Leggett for AllMusic feels that 'Not only is this one of the greatest live soul albums ever released, it also reveals a rougher, rawer, and more immediate side to Sam Cooke that his singles only hinted at, good as they were.
the crucial key is and was always Cooke's vocals, and while he was a marvelously smooth, versatile, and urbane singer on his official pop recordings, here he explodes into one of the finest sets of raw secular gospel ever captured on tape. It is essential listening in any version.' In 2012, ranked the album at number 439 on its list of. 'Cooke was elegance personified, but he works this Florida club until it's hotter than hell, while sounding like he never breaks a sweat. when the crowd sings along with him, it's magic,' said Rolling Stone.
