Excellent, Mike. One tiny point (possibly a mistyping):

Jan 30 '61 -
THAT'S IT - I QUIT - I'M MOVIN' ON (not YOU)

One of my favourite Cooke songs.

Oops! Sorry for the typo. As for Motown dates, I'm waiting for more information. I don't have a complete Motown sessionography, but I'll give what I can.

dvdmike:
Impressive sessionography, well done.
I had no idea Sam cut his first solo works at J&M in New Orleans! Cosimo Matassa ran that studio so you know the music is gonna have a killer sound! I'll have to find the CD with those tunes.
Thanks again!
