Night Beat, 1963
Written by Sam Cooke
This song is so depressing it ought to come with a warning label. If you're single and don't want to be, under no circumstances should you listen. Be warned! Cooke's soulful vocal really makes the message palpable. "This is a mean old word / To try to live in / All by yourself." It's a mean old world, and sometimes you end up beaten and shot to death a year after you release this song.
