"Nothing Can Change This Love"
Song
A-side"Somebody Have Mercy"

"Nothing Can Change This Love" is a song by American singer-songwriter Sam Cooke, released on September 11, 1962 by RCA Victor. Produced by Hugo & Luigi and arranged and conducted by René Hall, the song was the B-side to "Somebody Have Mercy". The song peaked at number two on Billboard's Hot R&B Sides chart, and also charted at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Background

Cooke had first attempted to record "Nothing Can Change This Love" in an earlier session on February 15, 1962, with a decidedly more doo-wop flair.[1] Recorded the night before he was to return to the road for tours, Cooke was determined to record the song, but was unable to get into the RCA studio until past midnight.[2] The song was recorded in eight takes.[2]

RCA issued the song as a single two and a half weeks later, and its sales rivaled that of Cooke's most recent success, "Bring It on Home to Me".[2]

Personnel

"Nothing Can Change This Love" was recorded on August 23, 1962 at RCA Studio 1 in Hollywood, California.[1] The session was conducted and arranged by René Hall. The musicians also recorded "I'm Gonna Forget About You" the same day. Credits adapted from the liner notes to the 2003 compilation Portrait of a Legend: 1951–1964.[1]
