What is it about?
Just before the song was to be released as a single in December of 1964, Sam Cooke would be shot to death at a motel in Los Angeles. Guralnick says "A Change Is Gonna Come" is now much more than a civil rights anthem. It's become a universal message of hope, one that does not age.
Who is Sam Cooke? Sam Cooke, byname of Samuel Cook, (born January 22, 1931, Clarksdale, Mississippi, U.S.—died December 11, 1964, Los Angeles, California), American singer, songwriter, producer, and entrepreneur who was a major figure in the history of popular music and, along with Ray Charles, one of the most influential Black Artists.
What did you think?
The song was kinda catchy it wasn't my type of song but it was pretty cool I liked the melody of the song.
Hey Aron. This really is a very significant song and I am glad you enjoyed it. Are there any other Sam Cooke songs that you know or have listened to?
