▓████▓▌ [ A B O U T . T H i S . R E L E A S E ] ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Songwriter and performer Sam Cooke was one of the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ most popular and influential black singers to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ emerge in the late '50s, successfully to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ synthesize a blend of gospel music and secular ▓▌
▓████▓▌ themes and provided the early foundation of soul ▓▌
▓████▓▌ music. Cooke's pure, clear vocals were widely ▓▌
▓████▓▌ imitated, and his suave, sophisticated image set ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the style of soul crooners for the next decade. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Sam Cooke was born in Clarksdale, Mississippi on ▓▌
▓████▓▌ January 22, 1931, but grew up in Chicago, where his ▓▌
▓████▓▌ father Charles became a minister in the Church of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Christ Holiness Church. By age nine Sam, with his ▓▌
▓████▓▌ two sisters, formed a gospel trio the Singing ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Children. As a teenager, he was a member of the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ nationally famous Highway Q.C.'s (so named because ▓▌
▓████▓▌ their home base was the Highway Baptist Church) ▓▌
▓████▓▌ with his younger brother, L.C. Cook. It was here ▓▌
▓████▓▌ that they sang with all the leading gospel groups ▓▌
▓████▓▌ of the day when they pased through Chicago. It was ▓▌
▓████▓▌ also where J.W. Alexander, tenor and manager of the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Pilgrim Travelers, first saw the young Cooke. The ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Pilgrim Travelers were the second gospel group ▓▌
▓████▓▌ recorded by Specialty and Alexander soon became the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ label's chief gospel scout. In 1949 he brought the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Soul Stirrers to Specialty. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ In December 1950 Robert Harris the Soul Stirrers ▓▌
▓████▓▌ electrifying lead singer quit the group. R.B. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Robinson spoke up for the young Cooke and in 1951, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ at the age of nineteen, he became lead vocalist of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the Soul Stirrers, with whom he toured and recorded ▓▌
▓████▓▌ for six years. The Soul Stirrers were one of the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ top acts on the all night gospel circuit. The group ▓▌
▓████▓▌ recorded for Aladdin records in the 1940s and in ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 1948, they signed with Specialty Records. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Specialty, founded by Art Rupe in 1946, in it's ▓▌
▓████▓▌ first two years issued only up-tempo blues ▓▌
▓████▓▌ recordings. In 1948, Rupe discovered the wide open ▓▌
▓████▓▌ field of gospel and concentrated the next few years ▓▌
▓████▓▌ on gospel and boogie based blues to the exclusion ▓▌
▓████▓▌ of most other forms of music. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ In 1950, Cooke's first session with the group ▓▌
▓████▓▌ produced "Jesus Gave Me Water." With his soaring ▓▌
▓████▓▌ vocal leads Cooke brought "style" to the gospel ▓▌
▓████▓▌ format. Though "Jesus Gave Me Water" betrays the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ youth and experience of the twenty year old Cooke ▓▌
▓████▓▌ it showed the potential Alexander saw in him. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Cooke soon became a gospel superstar. With the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ times changing soon Alexander was pressuring Ruppe ▓▌
▓████▓▌ to let Cooke issue records in the popular field. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Constraints against gospel performers performing ▓▌
▓████▓▌ secular material were strong and woven deep into ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the fabric of the black community. However, the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ monetary and worldly rewards for singing gospel ▓▌
▓████▓▌ could never equal those for singing to the masses. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Cooke gave in and recorded "Lovable" under the name ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Dale Cook. Cooke's voice was to unique not to be ▓▌
▓████▓▌ recognized. Lovable sold 25,000 copies. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "Lovable" set off a backlash from his gospel fans ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and the Soul Stirrers were booed whenever they made ▓▌
▓████▓▌ a personal appearance. Cooke was released by the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Soul Stirrers and replaced by Johnny Taylor. In the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ next five months there were no more releases by ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "Dale Cook" or even Sam Cooke. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Bumps Blackwell, Specialty's chief A&R man asked ▓▌
▓████▓▌ for his release. With royalties due, Blackwell was ▓▌
▓████▓▌ offered Cooke's recording contract in lieu of cash. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Blackwell accepted and signed Cooke with Keen ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Records, a new label started by Bob Keane. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Cooke sang his new songs with the same conviction ▓▌
▓████▓▌ he had brought to gospel music. In 1957 he released ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "You Send Me" which became a number #1 hit and sold ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 1.7 million copies. "You Send Me" established Cooke ▓▌
▓████▓▌ as a commercial artist and as an original pop ▓▌
▓████▓▌ stylist. In February, 1958 Specialty filed a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ lawsuit claiming that Cooke had actually written ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and recorded "You Send cooke2.jpg (121375 bytes)Me" ▓▌
▓████▓▌ while still under contract to Specialty, then ▓▌
▓████▓▌ recorded it for Keen. That being so the rights ▓▌
▓████▓▌ would have belonged to Specialty. Cooke claimed the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ song had been written by his brother, who was under ▓▌
▓████▓▌ no such restraints. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ The musical pattern in "You Send Me" was the basis ▓▌
▓████▓▌ for most of Cooke's first year with Keen. They were ▓▌
▓████▓▌ love songs, with pretty arrangements and sung with ▓▌
▓████▓▌ a rolling, medium tempo. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ In early 1959, Cooke released "Everyone Like To Cha ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Cha Cha" (#31) which represented a change in dance ▓▌
▓████▓▌ style before he returned to the two step with "Only ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Sixteen" (#28). ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ In 1959 Cooke left Keen over a royalty dispute. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ In1960 he signed with RCA and began writing blues, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ gospel inflected songs. After he joined RCA Victor, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Keen issued his second biggest hit up to that time, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the million selling "Wonderful World." ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Cooke's first release on RCA barely made the middle ▓▌
▓████▓▌ of the pop charts> It did a litle better R&B, but ▓▌
▓████▓▌ not much. To add insult to injurt, A cooke written ▓▌
▓████▓▌ song "noody Loves Me Like You" became a hit for the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Flamingos later in the spring. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Even without hits, Cooke continued to be a big hit ▓▌
▓████▓▌ on the on nighter and R&B circuit. In March, he ▓▌
▓████▓▌ toured the Carribean to sold out houses. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ On September 6, Cooke and his wife became parents ▓▌
▓████▓▌ of a seven pound two once baby girl they named ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Tracy. A wek earlier RCA released "Chain Gang" ▓▌
▓████▓▌ since signing with RCA. It peaked at number two on ▓▌
▓████▓▌ both the Pop and R&B charts and became his fourth ▓▌
▓████▓▌ gold record. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ In the next ten months, he released four records ▓▌
▓████▓▌ which icluded "Cupid." They all should have been ▓▌
▓████▓▌ best sellers, but only sold in medium quantities., ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Why they failed to sell is one of those quirks that ▓▌
▓████▓▌ drive record executives mad. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ It wasn't until "Twistin' the Night Away" in ▓▌
▓████▓▌ January, 1962 that Cooke got back on track to stay. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ It was a number one R*B and Top Ten pop hit. Next ▓▌
▓████▓▌ came "Havin' a Party' which was a squel to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "Twistin' the Night Away." Now Cooke teamed up with ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Lou Rawls to sing "Bring It on Back To Me," an old ▓▌
▓████▓▌ gospel song. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ With a live LP in the Top 30, Cooke was in L.A. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ partying when he met 22 year old Elisa Boyer at a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ club on December 11, 1964. They drove to South ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Central where they registered at the Hacienda ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Motel as Mr. and Mrs. Sam Cooke. Later Boyer left ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the room with most of Cooke's clothing. Cooke ▓▌
▓████▓▌ wearing one shoe and a jacket broke into the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ motel's office where he thought she was hiding. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ There he found Bertha Franklin the motel's manager ▓▌
▓████▓▌ who shoot him three times with a .22. Cooke was ▓▌
▓████▓▌ shoot and killed on December 11, 1964 at the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Hacienda motel in Los Angeles. The manager of the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ motel, Bertha Franklin claimed Cooke had tried to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ rape a twenty one year old woman Elisa Boyer and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ then turned on her. The coroner's office ruled the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ death as justifiable homicide. Over thirty five ▓▌
▓████▓▌ years later there remain questions about the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ circumstances of Cooke's death and there has been ▓▌
▓████▓▌ talk about reopening the investigation. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Two months after his death his song "Shake" peaked ▓▌
▓████▓▌ at #7 on the pop charts. Cooke's songs have been ▓▌
▓████▓▌ covered by both rock and soul singers. "A Change Is ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Gonna Come" was released in 1965 after his death ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and charted at #31. It represented a return to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Cooke's roots, placing him back in the spiritual ▓▌
▓████▓▌ setting from which he had first emerged just nine ▓▌
▓████▓▌ years before. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Cooke was a ground breaking black music capitalist. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ He owned his own record label (SAR/Derby), music ▓▌
▓████▓▌ publishing company (Kags Music), and management ▓▌
▓████▓▌ firm with offices in the Warner Brothers Building ▓▌
▓████▓▌ in Hollywood.. His influences can be heard in the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ work of artists as varied as Michael Jackson and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the Heptones, but is most profoundly felt in the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ singing of Otis Redding, Rod Stewart, and Al Green. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ The 1994 compilation Sam Cooke's SAR Records Story ▓▌
