Lyrics Chain Gang

Any reproduction is prohibited

'Chain Gang' is a song by the American singer-songwriterSam Cooke, released on July 26, 1960. The song became one of Cooke's most successful singles, peaking at number two on the Billboard Hot 100, behind both 'My Heart Has a Mind of Its Own' by Connie Francis and 'Mr. Custer' by Larry Verne^[1] On the Hot R&B Sides chart, the song peaked at number two as well.^[2] Overseas, 'Chain Gang' charted at number nine on the UK Singles Chart.^[3]

This was Cooke's second-biggest American hit, his first single for RCA Victor after leaving Keen Records earlier in 1959, and was also his first top 10 hit since 'You Send Me' from 1957, and his second-biggest pop single. The song was inspired after a chance meeting with an actual chain gang of prisoners on a highway, seen while Cooke was on tour.^[4]

Cooke was reportedly unsatisfied with the initial recording sessions of this song at RCA Studios in Manhattan in January 1960, and came back three months later to redo some of the vocals to get the effect he wanted.^{[citation needed]}
