Samuel Cook (January 22, 1931 -- December 11, 1964)

Song originaly by "The Platters" 1955

Lyrics:

I'm the Great pretender

pretending I'm doing well

my need is such

I pretend too much

I'm lonely but no one can tell

Oh yes, I'm the Great pretender

Adrift in a world of my own

I play the game

but to my real shame

You've left me to dream all alone

Too real is this feeling of make-belief

Too real when I feel what my heart can conceal

Oh yes, I'm the Great pretender

just laughing and gay like a clown

I seem to be what I'm not, you see

I'm wearing my heart like a crown

Pretending that you're still around

Too real is this feeling of make-belief

Too real when I feel what my heart can conceal

Oh yes, I'm the Great pretender

just laughing and gay like a clown

I seem to be what I'm not, you see

I'm wearing my heart like a crown

Pretending that you're still around

Is there a better voice? If there is I have yet to hear it. Everything he sings is pure magic.

*The beauty of Sams voice can never be overstated,what a talent he was, lost too soon and so tragically.**

A very sweet cover of a classic by the Platters. Sam's voice always lifts the spirit.
