R. Kelly - A Change Is Gonna Come (Sam Cooke Tribute)

[kingd13000]

Y'all can say what you want but it doesn't get no better than this!!! If you can't feel this then you have no heart or soul!!! This man poured out his heart in this song!!! To God be the glory b/c he was definetly in his voice in this song!!!

[ssj4hassan]

@kingd13000 im wit you on this bro.. the man smashed it. best Rkells performance i heard yet..

[romeoknight1]

The man is the greatest artist to ever sing in his realm. It is only Jealousy and Envy that would bring bad remarks to a person like this. It is his Legend that brings out the loser in People who would consider this Man a wrong doer. people need to face the mirror over there jealousy and envy. Anyone who would sit there and say this man has did wrong to a Child has Guilt in there heart over the subject to an obvious degree. Judge yourself before judging others or else kelly n I will judge u

[shaunbferguson]

he sung dis song



[CrunchyNut7]

Trey et all got it from the legend Sam Cooke, the original writer and artist of this song!

[kincoism]

R Kelly is the last of a dying breed and it's a fucking shame. Why can't black artists honor their roots and sing like this nowadays? It's a sad fucking day when hip hop outshines true music like this. Robert Kelly is the greatest. I don't care if he pissed on a young whore, that's between him and God. If you can't feel his soul pouring out on this, then you don't know what soul is.

[slender4]

@kincoism I wish that child-molester breed would die out faster.

[RoyalRemy5]

I Love This Song So Much ! But We Do Still Need A Lot More Change !!!!!!!!!!!

[HATEswag]

So much better than trey songz version..word to KELLZ..but nobody touchin sammy cooke

[SonicBoomC98]

@HATEswag I agree somewhat, but I do like the Otis Redding version

[rdrake460]

No negative comments Please! TO GOD b the GLORY he knows our thoughts even before we can conceive them but gives us the power of CHOICE! He forgives even when we do the unforgivable...This is a remembrance to embrace GOD he is the only answer when no one else will answer your call ! TO GOD BE THE GLORY ...(.P) ray,(R) emember, (A) nswer him, (Y) ou will see his GRACE.

[TheChosen25]

amen

[MyDimples3]

THERES NOTHING R KELLY CANNOT SING!!!! STRAIGHT GOD GIVING GIFT..I LOVE THIS MAN!!!

[7ant7dog7]

[MyBountykilla]

[saxy007]

[rappinp]

Is there any chance I could get a MP3 purchase link to this? or any D/L?

[CarTuneChil]

this song make me want to change my life, hit me deep

[MissIshere1]

@CarTuneChil AMEN! As brother Michael Jackson would say, "Make that change."

[Bynkers83]

I am so surprised about how good his version is. I did not expect that.

[Kckellz]

This video make me shed tears..been away from home so far...like a soija...and i know one day change gonna come and i will hug my brothers...

[MissIshere1]

@Kckellz God Bless you and bring you back to your fam.

[MrsJbone66]

[crowderboy10]

[fistonstar]

mad, much respect to R



[Tazaiyar1]

seriously? kells did not do this song justice at all...

[Bynkers83]

@Tazaiyar1 Oh yes he did! Amen!

[XplicitVocalz]

Well damn he killed this ish. Sam Cooke would have been proud of this cover.

[PeterCRissKISSgod]

fuck man, wow.

[BIGJUICEJONES1]

despite his off studio issues, I think Kellz is the greatest male vocalist ever. he can sing any song whether his or some1 else's and bang it out.

[AyooMckail]

1:42 is my part. HIT IT!!

[AyooMckail]

1:42 is my part. HIT IT!

[gracielaromero82]

R. Kelly you rock baby!

[leob2008]

he fucking ruined this song...

[XCherishXx]

I have to give it up to kelly for this performance. He had soul.

[nysolidgold]

WHAT AN INSULT TO THE FRIENDS OF MINE WHOM I PERFORMED THIS WITH..THESE NEW KIDS CANT SING..... ONLY RAP AND EVEN THAT STINKS TO HIGH HEAVEN.

[BubbyLovesSkittlez]

i use to love r. kelly till i starrt hearing the rumors about hym

[playboyplus83]

@BubbyLovesSkittlez sounds like a follower to me.

[BubbyLovesSkittlez]

@playboyplus83 ok and ur worried bout mehh why

[scotttraquia]

I read all the comments about R. Kelly's version of this song everyone who hear this song by any artist must Know that it's sung as a tribute to a great artist in Sam Cook and anyone who sings it should not be Compared to no one else because we know that they are doing their vary best and everyone that I heard sing this song Killed it.

[ssj4hassan]

What key is this in? Anyone know? Thanks in advance

[nysolidgold]

@ssj4hassan IN THE KEY OF T# FOR TERRIBLE

[ssj4hassan]

@nysolidgold Ha ha ha. like the way you put that lol. im not a fan of the man but his voice is amazing. undeserved talent....

[playboyplus83]

Can't hate on Kells. ChiTown rep!!!

[jamila3274]

jesus christ, kelly is a bad singer, just get your life in order maybe you will be respected more when you are respected as a person (a human being). No doubt to your talent. but you need to get a grip on your morals my brother. and this aint your mother, but i got sons..... straighten up dude.

[exmackk]

otis killed this everytime. fuck everyone else...

[Murcury159]

@exmackk You do no credit to the artist by comparing him/her to another artist. It isn't some kind of competition of who's best. Respect this as a beautiful song and a great singer.

[exmackk]

@Murcury159 all i said was that otis redding did a better job it's my opinion get over it. and besides rkelly likes to piss on little girls. what if that was your daughter and she was singing trapped in the closet?

[playboyplus83]

@exmackk What does that have to do with the music? Don't like the song because of the song, not because you don't like the person. I'm sure your version of the song ain't worth shit.

[exmackk]

@playboyplus83 dude shut the fuck up because you apparently have no taste in music. and since you're failing at trying to troll, lemme show you how it's done. first of all i'm guessing you've never heard of Otis Redding. look him up before trying to school someone. secondly i don't have a problem with r kelly. his 12 play album is the shit. "my version of the song ain't worth shit"? that's why the original singer even applauded Otis for an amazing cover and said it was better than his.

[exmackk]

you're an idiot, go to hell, and i hope you get hit by a bus on friday. and before you do, i suggest listening to Otis Redding's cover of A Change is Gonna Come. you prick

[MRBKNUMBER1]

@exmackk damn yall go hard about this song lol

[exmackk]

@MRBKNUMBER1 that bitch tried stuntin' on me. fuck that puto

[exmackk]

@playboyplus83 oh and re-read your comment. i think someone needs to take a community college course in language arts. GO BACK TO SCHOOL. -___-

[ezio6219]

I love your version, but you can never ever take the place of the place of mu Sam.

[Murcury159]

Never gets old. 

[Murcury159]

omg the girls in the back round are SO ANNOYING STFU

[CarolinasFinest23]

he the truth singing this song

[jamila3274]

@CarolinasFinest2 Aint feeling this one. hE KNOWS nothing about what sam cooke had to deal with maybe if he did he would be more humble.

[arronnov]

@jamila3274 How was he going to know what Sam had to deal when he's living now. He's giving honor and respect to a man who works he admire. This is African tradition where we always gave honors to our ancestors in the present.

[playboyplus83]

@jamila3274 I'm guessing you don't know what Sam was dealing with either. How do you even know that Sam was humble?

[poohpoohish1]

i love dis song...

[rdrake460]

kells has had enough anguish and strife to come close to the masters of rb and soul....for his generation no one can touch him..but he does have heart and soul deep enough to grasp this song and convincingly nail this song!!!! He would have done well in Sam Cookes era cant you see just turn off the monitor and listen without prejudice....

[Mr1000raindrops]

so this where trey song get's it from

[originalkekebrown]

@Mr1000raindrops smh lol

[dawulfmann]

Old skool r kelly is the best r kelly

[maltesefalcon73]

[DaTruth00001]

[mrderrickc98]

not to many in this generationcan do this song like that

[AngryEyebrows96]

0:00 - 1:40 was the best part ^.^

[J22008]

for all of you responding negatively to the response of the audience....it is a live performance and they are expressing their love for the artist...buy the recorded version and you can sit in your quiet space and enjoy....win win

[spydrman03]

Kels performance is nice, my favs, are Cooke, Redding, and Luther, they got so much emotion when they sing

[anthonynelson1975]

You can say what you want about this dude but he's gotta be Hands Down the most creative and musically entertaining artist of this generation~!! Name one who has a better resume~!!??

[Feesah23]

@anthonynelson1975 The only one I can think of is NoOne!!! Ive been in love with RKelly&HisMusic since I heard Vibe and I was 10 then Im 28 now. #MyFavArtistHandsDown

[rdrake460]
