Please take an hour of your time to visit the life and times of one of America’s favorite soul singers of all time. This man had everything to do with bringing people together. Sam Cooke was a pioneer in his industry. He was one of the first Gospel singers to crossover to pop, but he did it his way. He influenced the careers of so many people and opened the minds of so many others. Ever since I was a little kid in the 80′s, I’ve been listening to Sam Cooke thanks to my mother and I continue to learn more and more about this great man even today. This Documentary celebrates San Cooke’s life, his accomplishments and his hardships like no other has. I’m so thankful for the man named Sam Cooke. He has influenced my life profoundly. I hope that he can do the same for yours.
