Sam Cooke
We don't have a soul forum, but we now have a Sam Cooke thread, which is closer than we've ever been before.
I know there aren't many Soul fans out there, especially losers like right-track and Gentleman Johnny, but I figured everyone could learn to appreciate Sam Cooke, the hookers proclaimed godfather of soul. Songs with hookers seal of approval: (What A) Wonderful World (no, not the song you are thinking of) Cupid Chain Gang You Send Me She Was Only Sixteen A Change Is Gonna Come Please check.

I have a funny story about that song actually. It was played on repeat in this home-video documentary on Hurricane Katrina (almost to nausea). The person who made the video said it was one of her favorites performed by a group called "Rooster." I was really confused and was almost going to speak out and say "No that's Sam Cooke." I tried looking for info on Rooster, to see maybe if Sam was in a group with that name, or if they did a cover of the song... do you have any insight on this?

A Change is Gonna Come is one of the greatest soul songs ever, and overall greatest songs ever. it's simply humbling and beautiful. even with the context of the civil rights movement, it's so much more. I can't begin to describe how much that number means to me. :*)

Sam Cooke
To me him, Marvin Gaye, and Otis Redding were some of the best artists in soul.
All of his songs were quintessentially Motown but with a edge of soul. I know he has been dubbed "the father of soul" and I can see why. |
