From Wikipedia:
“Bring It On Home to Me” is a 1961 soul song written and recorded by R&B singer-songwriter Sam Cooke. The song, about infidelity, was a hit for Cooke and has become a pop standard covered by numerous artists of different genres. It is one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll. Cooke’s recorded version has Lou Rawls singing responses as an uncredited background singer.

This song is considered by many historians of soul music to be the founding, or at least definitive soul song, as it provides the formula that is still popular today. Cooke’s live version of this song that he performed in Miami, from the album Live at the Harlem Square Club, 1963, can be seen as his personal vision of what soul music should be, owing to the texture and emotion conveyed through his vocals that night, and that were probably standard in Cooke’s near-nightly shows in primarily black clubs.

Charles Brown and Amos Milburn dueted on a single, I Wanna Go Home, which musically bears a striking resemblance to Cooke’s Bring It On Home. The Brown/Milburn effort was recorded for Motown Records on Nov. 11, 1962, several years prior to Cooke’s song, and has been credited as the source of Cooke’s tune. Cooke apparently heard Charles Brown play the song in Cincinnati nightclubs, re-worked the lyrics, and according to some sources even invited Brown to play piano on the 1965 Bring It On Home session. Reportedly, Brown recorded I Want To Go Home as early as 1959 as the B-side of Educated Fool, along with Amos Milburn for Ace Records. Cooke had been a big fan of Charles Brown and recorded a number Brown tunes on his live 1963 Night Beat album.
