Sam Cooke * PBS
Coming to a local Public Television Station near you this week is a new documentary about Sam Cooke (January 1931 – December 1964).
The contribution of the legendary singer/song writer will be explored in the PBS “American Masters” series “Sam Cooke: Crossing Over”. It includes some performance scenes and interviews with family and musicians to illuminate the short career that lifted our spirits with traditional Gospel music, but also gave us songs like “You Send Me” and the classic “A Change is Gonna Come” (rumor has it that he wrote this in 1963 after hearing Dylan’s “Blowin’ in the Wind”.)
“Sam Cooke: Crossing Over” – Amazing talent, not forgotten.
