Sam Cooke - Forever 2008 [EAC - FLAC] (oan)







Sam Cooke (January 22, 1931 – December 11, 1964) was an American gospel, R&B, soul,
and pop singer, songwriter, and entrepreneur. He is considered to be one of the pioneers and
founders of soul music.

Cooke had 29 Top 40 hits in the U.S. between 1957 and 1965. Major hits like "You Send Me",
"A Change Is Gonna Come", "Chain Gang", "Wonderful World" and "Bring It on Home to Me"
are some of his most popular songs. Cooke was also among the first modern black
performers and composers to attend to the business side of his musical career. He founded
both a record label and a publishing company as an extension of his careers as a singer and
composer.

Sam Cooke was born in Clarksdale, Mississippi. He added an "e" onto the end of his name,
though the reason for this is disputed. He was one of seven children of Annie Mae and the
Reverend Charles Cook, a Baptist minister. The family moved to Chicago in 1933.

His first pop single, "Lovable" (1956), was released under the alias of "Dale Cooke" in order
to not alienate his gospel fan base (he sang with The Soul Stirrers until 1957) ; there was a
considerable taboo against gospel singers performing secular music. However, the alias
failed to hide Cooke's unique and distinctive vocals. No one was fooled. Art Rupe, head of
Specialty Records, the label of The Soul Stirrers, gave his blessing for Cooke to record
secular music under his real name, but he was unhappy about the type of music Cooke and
producer Bumps Blackwell were making. Rupe expected Cooke's secular music to be similar
to that of another Specialty Records artist, Little Richard. When Rupe walked in on a
recording session and heard Cooke covering Gershwin, he was quite upset. After an
argument between Rupe and Blackwell, Cooke and Blackwell left the label.
