  • Stupid bitch, she didnt have to shoot him. He was a good lookin guy why does he have to break down a door to find a woman. he was a famous singer. He must have been on drugs or somthing.

  • @veeseee128

    Unless this case gets re-investigated with there will always be unawnsered questions,

    and speculational theories.

    Sam Cooke stayed away from drugs, he drank but so did nearly everyone else in the festivities on his final night fact is the girl was a prostitute, Sams drummer said Sam wouldnt have known,

    prostitutes know how to play tricks the money trick is an oldtime trick,

    Cooke falls short eachtime this tragedy of his death is mentioned it makes him look

    like an angry rapist

  • Judging from the creepy photo taken at the death scene, he doesn't look severely beaten at all, and I see no bullet holes in his torso at all.

  • The actual bullet itself was in his system already

    just one shot hit him thru his side right under the armpit

    the shot he had looked just like the style of killing that mobsters did and Muslim henchmen did to kill people

    and myself judging his body position in the picture, it proves to me he could not have got shot then wacked with a broom then beat and end up with a Broken nose and broken hands an then be slumped on the wall like that. It Doesnt make sense at all

  • Let me add that that Was ONE Betha Franklin's 4 stories she told there's just secrets hidden and questions unawnsered

    and though he was one of the best singers

    and perhaps the GREATEST male Vocalist (the inner richness of his voice is uncompairable)

    but that doesn't mean old jury people

    will care about the dead man in late 1964

    let me say it again 1964!!!!!!!!!!!

    it's just sad only Sam himself could greatly defend himself and tell his story I feel more people then a 55 year old lady killed him

  • Sam Cooke's remarkable voice and artistic talent was a gift for the ages. When his life was taken, that gift was stolen from all of us. Whatever the facts of his death are, it could not have been a "justifiable homicide." For more details of the mystery of his death go to trutv.

  • Excuse me for saying dis but I was very disappointed when I found out that Bertha was a Black woman, come on now. Im sure she knew who he was, she was in on him getting robbed, Dis man pulls up in a red Ferrari. With a known prostitute Elisa Boyer, she say that she took his cloths by mistake after she claim he tried to rape her... But he get up to go to the bathroom and she take his shit & split. And the money plus his license wasnt found in his wallet. But it was a justified homicide. Bullshit

  • The other theory is  he busted up in the managers office and was not wearing any pants or underwear, his genitalsl exposed and hes demanding to know the whereabouts of some woman. sam was crazy.high as a bitch. He grabbed the woman, what woman wouldnt have shot him. He asked for it. Should have kept his pants on.

  • Some say he tried to rape this woman and she shot him dead. this may be what happened because when the police found cooke he was slumped down on the floor naked, except he was wearing a sports jacket and shoes. Ive seen the photo. Why was he naked below the the waist if he was trying to rape her? mmm?

  • @veeseee128 thats not the true story dude..he wasn't shot and killed..he was beaten to the point where his head was decapitated from his shoulders, his nose was crushed, and his hands were bruised. if he was shot in the chest why would his head be gone? theres too much to this story...

  • Why would Sam rape a girl for? Wouldn't it be the other way around lol. But on a serious note, some people say it was a mob hit and I think that's true because Sam was too powerful and on top of that he was black. Back in these days people weren't having that.

  • My feeling is that both Bertha Franklin and Elisa Boyer were working for someone else. You have to remember at the time of Sam Cooke death he was the teenage sensation, The country loved him. The problem with the power structure is that he was not white. You see, he stood out over the likes of Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley and that was a problem my friend.

  • If you getting raped and get a chance to leave-the last thing on your mind is clothes! He went into the bathroom and she stole his money and clothes-robbery!! He fucked up when he tried to break down the managers door though! She must wasn't a Sam Cooke fan or had no idea who he was.

  • @melvin123 33 i belive

  • @MrSoulSamCooke how old was he when he died
