“Wonderful World” was written by Sam Cooke and Herb Alpert in 1959 and featured on the album, “The Wonderful World of Sam Cooke.” The single, released on Keen Records, can sell for $50.00. The song was a hit for Sam Cooke in 1960 and even a bigger hit for Herman’s Hermits in 1965. Cooke’s version can be heard in the movies, “Animal House” and “Witness.”  Don’t know much about history, don’t know much biology but I do know the album, released on Keen Records in 1960, is worth up to $250.00 today.
