Guest Ohdistortedsmile1789 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 (edited) Do we have any Sam Cooke fans? He was it, from Gospel celebrity to Pop star to social voice, the man was always on top. Music doesn't get any better than "A Change Is Gonna Come".

Guest Ohdistortedsmile1789 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I love his version of "Frankie and Johnny". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carne_asaDA Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I have one his greatest hits CDs. IMO....he has one of the best vocals in "Rock N Roll" history. But I cannot say that I'm a fan of his music overall. However, A Change is Gonna Come, is very moving. The first time I heard it was on Malcom X. And back then, I thought that Axl should of covered that song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChineseDemocracy2004 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Has he ever done a cover of you gotta move by the stones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ohdistortedsmile1789 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 ^"You Gotta Move" was a cover of Fred McDowell, and The Rolling Stones released it long after Sam Cooke had died. They did cover Cooke a couple times though, "Good Times" on Out of Our Heads for example.Was he the same as the Sam from Sam and Dave, who died?#No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
