"Another Saturday Night" is a 1963 hit single by Sam Cooke from the album Ain't That Good News. The song was written by Cooke while touring in England when staying in a hotel where no female guests were allowed.[1] It reached No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was No. 1 on the R&B chart for a single week.[2] In the UK, the song peaked at No. 23 on the UK Singles Chart.[3][4] In Canada it reached No. 30.[5]
Cooke's version featured his spoken recitation, which is done during the instrumental break.
Session drummer Hal Blaine played on Cooke's version of the song.[6] Other musicians on the record included John Anderson on trumpet, John Ewing on trombone, Jewell Grant on sax, Ray Johnson on piano, and Clifton White and Rene Hall on guitar, and Clifford Hills on bass.
Cash Box described it as "a tale of a guy who’s got the money, but not the gal to spend it on," stating that "the teen set won’t take the deck seriously, but will find it a highly pleasurable listening/dance floor treat."[7]
