**Sam Cooke** His Passing Is Still Mysterious, But His Music And His Legacy Within His Music, Is Legendary!!!! A **Great** Man And Human Being: **Sam Cooke**

Sad gone but not forgotten ❤❤

I went to his funeral in 1964 at A.R Leake Funeral on the South Side of Chicago, l was a little girl , l saw the likes of Sammy Davis jr, mahalia Jackson she singed at his funeral Peter Lorre, and some more Hollywood stars just can’t remember their names, it was so crowded that cottage grove was closed to all traffic and it was cold that day of his funeral. I stood on top of someone’s car in order to see. In my house l was not allowed to listen to that secular music. So l would go over to some classmates house or listen outside a “ bar or Saloon” to listen to that kind of music.😊😊

“The Incomparable Sam Cooke, PURE SOUL recorded many hits, but my favorites are That’s Where It’s At, I Love ❤️ You For Sentimental Reasons, Teenage Sonata, and Basin Street Blues

Wonderful wonderful storie thank you very much good info

WOW that changed MY perspective about Bobby Womack. But he's still one of my favorite male singers.

R.i.p Sam, a tragedy, and very suspicious your passing ❤❤

Well, my mother believe it or not turned me on to Sam Cooke's music in 1973. I have been a fan of this man longer then he lived on earth and his music is still great to this day. I read a biography about his life ," Dream Boogie, The Triumph Of Sam Cooke. He had a tragic life, he was almost killed in an automobile accident in 1952, and he had a baby son drown in a backyard pool in 1963. He was talented and handsome and grew up in the church and sang gospel music, but wanted to crossover and sing pop music. People warned him if he did it and turned his back on the church, it would cause a great calamity in his life. He wanted to own his own recording company ,and keep the money in his own pocket as well as help other up and coming black artists. He was so handsome and had several children out of wedlock and had women waiting to enter his bed at anytime. It was unfortunate, that he picked up Elisa Boyer, the Eurasian hooker at a nightclub. People said she noticed Sam Cooke's role of money and willingly left the club with him. He took her to a hotel in Los Angeles, and while he was undressed, the tramp pulled an old hooker's trick. She ran out the room with his pants containing his wallet. Sam Cooke was enraged and ran after her. The night manager confronted an an angry Sam Cooke. He banged on her door and accused the manager of hiding the woman. He barged in and fought with her. She shot him several times, and hit him with a stick and he died in a cheap hotel. The hooker called the cops and tried to play innocent and said she was afraid of being " raped". This was bs, because I believe the manager and the hooker worked together as they rolled Sam Cooke. Sam was a city kid and knew he was being " rolled" and tried to get his money back. The jury acquitted these two lowlifes, and Sam Cooke died a premature death, but his music lives on.

HE Was a Good Man Whomever speaks bad.of HIM YOU WILL NOT BE IN FAVOR

Met him. I was about 20 years old. I am 87 now when they were doing a show in my hometown in Winnipeg Canada, I saw him in the next day just before he was leaving for his next show in another city I was introduced to him the night before at a party.he was with a white girl. I. Was. A sweet Jewish girl smile.

A black man with incredible talent, influence, notoriety, fame, powerful friendships, business smarts and ownership at that time is a tremendous threat to an evil selected group of corrupt & destructive detractors.

What a talent gone to soon.

Yes Sam Cooke was set up😢😢😢

*"i wish he didn't trust me so much">>>bobby womack

My elders that introduced me to Sam Cooks music, which I still listen to today, said it's pretty obvious that this man, Allen that has total control of Sam's music had a major role in Sam's death. And still today is pretty obvious!!!!!!!!! "A GREAT LOST" RIP

Sam Cooke is my Mother's cousin & they stayed at our house during the funeral !!! R.I.P SAM ❤🙏🌷✝️🌷🙏

Still deserves to be respected by the gospel field that loves offering opinions on those that goes secular.

Having a party and another Saturday,night

Sam was setting himself up to be the Berry Gordy of the west coast and possibly beyond. Did you see the list of artist Sam had on his label? Johnnie Taylor, The Womack brothers, Mel Carter, Billy Preston, the Soul Stirrers, and more maybe later Lou Rawls. Sam was smart, could write hits at the drop of a hat, recognized talent. He was going to be able to pull talent from the white record owners and mob controlled companies. Sam was a BIG threat. I can see Sam doing a Soul Train program, movies and just being unlimited. No, they had to get rid of this brilliant man.

Upfront Cooke estates should be rewarded his songs catalog. Something totally strange about Allen Klein business dealings, with him.

Sam Cooke was the man back in the day and still is He has a lot of talent and music not this rap junk they have today

I still believe that he was set up.

2023happythanksgiving

A change is Gonna Come, You Send Me, Chain Gang my husband likes Twistin the Night Away I don't fault Bobby he was 19 years old and she was a decade older than him. It sounds like the moral compass wasn't there with none of them as far as the daughter, well the apple didn't fall far from the tree.Bobby got what he deserved ,from his brother Cecil . Shame on all of them.

Sam Cooke was extremely handsome . I’m sure women wanted him 😂 but oh I didn’t know all that about Bobby Womack . What a rat

Why not track down the jewish family that has benefited off Sam Cooke in death and still benefiting today?

My favorite song was we are having a party

RIP😢

Sam Cooke was a great singer of Gospel & Pop He shouldn't have been a womanizer (people should see the stuff in the two Cooke biography 's

🙏🏾TES✊🏽💪🏾

I was very young when Sam died I believe a part of me died too

I am in love with send me some loving, and will always be in love with it❤️

Theres a couple within yeah

That was so wrong on both parts

Hate those women that his life 😡

Damn my moms was born in 1964

Wait ✋️ so womack had Cooke's wife and daughter and then passed daughter to his brother 😳 Wtf ..

😂😂😂😂😂 u do wrong wrong follows...I love Bobby though he grew

Tell me this is not the devil that's how they did it

"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." Revelation 21:8!

Loved Sam although he could be my grandad. His friends said he was a womaniser though and that could have led to his death, either by being with a lady of the night or the record company set him up because they like to destroy their artists for money. He wanted to own his own studio. His family don't get his royalties, the record manager's family does. His protege Bobby womack married his widow and then slept with his daughter 🤮 who then married his brother 🤮 again

He was murderd.

GOSPEL

Wait I thought he died in a plane crash

GOT. GOOD NEWS. FOR. U. JESUS CHRIST DIED. FOR. U. AND. U. CAN. HAVE. YOUR. SINNS. FOR GIVING. BY. JESUS. WHO. DIED. FOR. U

Damn Bobby you was dog

He was never a real friend of anyone's. Not even himself. I beleuve Sam was drugged that night...

Well Sam was lying up with hookers, so whoever his wife married after his death was justified! I'm sure it was an embarrassment to her.

Womack....Weird guy

Sam was bogus

He was set up

BUT. IF. U. REJECT. JESUS CHRIST. U. WILL. SPEND. ETERNAL. AWAY. FROM. JESUS. IF. U. Die. I N. YOUR. SINNS. IN. HELL

Do you believe that bobby womack was involved in his demise or simply benefited from it?
