"'I'll Come Running Back to You'" is a song written and recorded by American singer-songwriter Sam Cooke, released November 18, 1957, by Specialty Records. The songwriting credit was attributed to "S. Cook" by the label. The song was a number one hit on 'Billboard' Hot R&B Sides chart, and also peaked at on the 'Billboard' Hot 100.
Background
"I'll Come Running Back to You" was recorded at Cosimo Matassa's studio in New Orleans, Louisiana, under the supervision of Specialty Records A&R director Bumps Blackwell.
Following the smash success of Cooke's debut single "You Send Me" on Keen Records, Speciality owner Art Rupe quickly rushed out "I'll Come Running Back to You" as a single. Rupe instructed arranger Ren Hall to duplicate the sound of "You Send Me", which included overdubbing similar instrumentation and background singers.Guralnick, Peter (2005). 'Dream Boogie: The Triumph of Sam Cooke'. New York: Back Bay Books, p. 280-81. First edition, 2005. The overdubs were recorded on November 1, 1957 (including overdubs for "Lovable" and "Forever", also recorded during the New Orleans session) and Rupe mastered the songs four days later, rushing the record out within two weeks. Speciality purchased a three-fifths-of-a-page ad in the November 25 issue of 'Billboard' to promote the single.Guralnick, Peter (2005). 'Dream Boogie: The Triumph of Sam Cooke'.
