Wonderful World (Adler-Alpert-Cooke) by Sam Cooke

This original recording of the song (co-written by Herb Alpert) performed respectably--but unremarkably--on the ‘pop’ charts upon its initial 1960 release. But thanks to later hit versions by other artists and the song’s inclusion in some popular films, both the tune and this Cooke track have been elevated to “classic” status over the years.
