'Another Saturday Night' was one of the biggest of the many hits Sam Cooke had in the first half of the 1960s, making #10 in 1963. Like many of the early soul hits of the time, there was a pronounced Latin lilt to the rhythms. The main hook of the song was the extremely catchy chorus, whose relatively upbeat, good-time feel juxtaposed against the lyric of the lonely guy without a date on Saturday night. That's a situation almost every guy has gone through, and thus was guaranteed to strike a responsive chord in much of the audience. The verses were kind of secondary to the chorus in their melodic appeal and lyrical resonance, but served to flesh out the complaint of the song's title with examples of his frustrated attempts to land a date. While it's doubtful that Cooke himself had problems filling up his Saturday nights in real life, as usual he sounds like he's living the lyric, though more with a merry resignation than abject self-pity. 'Another Saturday Night' found new life a decade later when Cat Stevens, known principally for more serious and self-reflective singer-songwriter statements, took a more pop-oriented and frivolous arrangement of the song into the Top Ten in 1974.
