However having older parents playing Motown and Sam Cooke when I was growing up his music healed a lot of my depression then. What a beautiful talent and his Being I'mmost grateful ❤️

I wish more video was available about Sam. He was .... I was gonna say before his time but that isn't quite right. His talent was so immense in the right ways he probably could have broken through in most eras of popular music. But history doesn't quite do him justice. He should be remembered like Jimi and Ray in the popular imagination. This video is stunning. His charisma is hard to appreciate today. The context of that year .... His skin color. It doesn't need to be said. He just intuitively had this thing.... He out people at ease. He was as big as elvis in his day. Both on RCA. Plus he was black. I wish we had more video of him. Best recorded singer ever. Hands down.

He was a special gift from God to help bring people together and his last song “ A Change Gonna Come” predicted it. Then he was taken from us. I cry too when I see him, but thankful for all the joy he brought to many people due to talent and courage. He had it all. He had too much trust in people brought about his tragic end. My poor opinion, I’m a 78 year-old Hispanic great-great grandma.
