"Cupid" performed by Sam Cooke. His voice is as smooth as any velvet, and he stays slightly behind the beat all the way through the song. The tension created by his smooth voice and lazy-beat singing is juicy and marvelous.
I was once in a band that played this song, and I started to count it off to begin playing. I stopped and asked the drummer if I was counting it off too slow. He replied, "It's impossible to do Sam Cooke too slow."
And THAT is the definition of "laid back."
