Sam Cooke


Sam Cooke
Jan. 22, 1931 - Dec. 11, 1964
"A Change Is Gonna' Come" still gives me the chills.

fantastic song. I've got Sam Cooke all over my iPod. He was a Mississippian too....

So glad Seal is giving this song the revival it deserves - You should add him and Heidi in your list below too.

This is by far one of the best songs ever made. It implies so much and the strain and desperation of his voice makes you think he means more than just the words. Indeed it's a powerful song.

Sam Cooke was the man!! This song is so deep. It speaks about a generation denied and a generation with great promise to come.
