Friends of all colors......... each one of us who has an appreciation for music and artists who give us inspiration through their style should listen to this man's work.....almost a half century since he left us, there is a major void in pop music that only someone like Sam could fill..... I am 61 years old and have been witness to music from the 50's through today....I don't believe that there is an indiviual who has influenced a genre of music(soul) as well as he did....

This is a beautiful piece of art. I'm a white boy from a rural housing project and I would be one sad ass if it wersn't for the likes of Sam Cooke and sooo many other black artists. Shame on those that were taught to hate out of ignorance! Thanks and God Bless!

Sam was incredible... not likely to be equaled... a unique voice, and tone.

@curtisjones400 No, Fox is getting too old and he did Ray so well that people will compare too much. Also, no singing either; I would rather hear Sam's classics anyway. I think Terrance Howard would an excellent choice to play Sam?

Larenz Tate can play Sam Cooke they look alike as long as Larenz is clean shaven.

@OldskolFan I think that Jamie Foxx could also play Sam Cooke-Jamie has a nice voice -even though he does not look like Sam Cooke he would be my choice

@TheDaywalker1701 Alright, I thought it looked like Dick Clark, but I wasn't sure. He's still alive though, dude, he still does New Year's Rockin' Eve every year.

if anyone here has ever heard him sing 'if i had a hammer', you know it's MASTERFUL.

he made a small mistake, and played it off so well, you'd think it SHOULD have been part of the song. LOL

@TheDaywalker1701 dick clark is still alive. american bandstand isn't.

@billeybop (cont): one night, she 'rolled' him (took his wallet/money and threw his clothes out the window to discourage him chasing her).

he wasn't discouraged. he likely was beating the hell outta her to get his money back, and the manager came up behind him and beat him near to death with a bat (the manager was an old lady). when he was down, she shot him.

this isn't hate...he's a chicago boy. he would have created a chicago version of motown, with curtis mayfield, bigger than motown.

@billeybop sam was the MAN, but read the biography about him.

he didn't die in a 'domestic dispute'. he was killed by the hotel manager that was part of a scam to 'roll' their prostitutes clients.

same cooke didn't like banks, and would have money wired to him when he was in california. he used to show fat wads of cash. a eurasian (amerasian?) woman and her pimp saw that. he had an affair with her over a period of months.

@billeybop Yes I know it! Now like Iike I said I love people, but some people get so jealous of someone else that they end up actually hurting the person. Or getting killed like Sam Cooke. And that makes me mad and upset at the same time. Why do people have to be like that? ( I often ask myself that question) I love Sam Cooke! We need him and all those good singers from the 50"s and 60"s singing for us here today!! Music isn't music anymore :( God bless! :)
