the dapper spotlight

July 13, 2008

Mr Sam Cooke (1931 - 1964). Singer, songwriter, founding father of soul, businessman, civil rights activist and one hell of a dapper guy.

Just observe that pant length up top, the shoes, the pushed up sleeves, that perfectly chosen pinky ring (centre). There’s a reason I didn’t include any tuxedo or blazer shots here. Don’t get me wrong, the man could wear the shit out of a suit, but he sure did put his casual wear together with a sharpness few could muster.

…..the face doesn’t hurt. I’m just saying.
