A writer and an agent of social change, he absorbed the teachings of Billie Holiday and Bob Dylan while reconciling his own identity and what fans expected of him. Fleming explores how this towering soul artist came to reconcile so many disparate elements on a Florida stage on a winter night in 1963   a stage that extended well into the future, beyond Cooke's own life, beyond the 1960s, and into a perpetual here-and-now. \u003ci\u003eLive at the Harlem Square Club, 1963\u003c\/i\u003e will resonate so long as we all have need to look into ourselves and square our differences and become more human, and more connected with others in our humanity.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46629810503838,"sku":"UBD-9781501355547","price":19.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781501355547.jpg?v=1774221676","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781501355547","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
