• Sam Cookes Copa album is the Ultimate though! Highlight of the album is the showstopping version of 'Shadow of your smile'. Marvin wanted to be a cabaret singer in the vein of Sammy Davis we are told in the notes but Berry Gordy was not happy with this.
• Sam Cooke at the Copa was a frustrating record. One of a handful of live albums by a major soul artist of its era, it captured Cooke in excellent voice, and was well-recorded - it just wasn't really a 'soul' album, except perhaps in the tamest possible definition of that term.

Darin at the Copa is Bobby Darin's fourth album and third straight top-ten charting LP in the US. It debuted on 17 October 1960, peaked at number 9 and remained in the LP chart for 38 weeks. The album was recorded live at the Copacabana nightclub in New York.

Reception[edit]

At The Copa

Music critic John Bush wrote in his Allmusic review 'A complete entertainer, Darin only occasionally concentrates on the business of singing, making Darin at the Copa the type of concert work that rarely succeeds as a purely aural recording. Bobby Darin is obviously performing, not just singing, and listeners are often left out during his countless jokes and vocal asides—each of which get enormous responses from the original audience. The music is solid and Darin does his finger-popping best, but he walks a thin line between swinging and an outrageous parody of same... listening decades later, it's difficult to avoid the wish he'd played this date just a bit more straight.'^[1]
