    THAT IS TOO MANY DISLIKES FOR SAM COOKE, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YALL?? How u think the future generations got where they are, by listening, sampling, & etc...to this day i wud put on Sam Cooke music before a lot of the musicians these days. His voice jus flowed out effortlessly, it was like all he had to do was jus open his mouth & there it was...this man was a living legend & left a legacy here that wud surpass any R&B singer & rapper. Don't mess with Sam Cooke cz he had rare multiple talents with a voice that CANNOT be duplicated, something the music industry cud use right now!! R.I.P SAM COOKE ♥️

    As I write this in the year 2020, this song is just as amazing as when it was first released 59 years ago in 1961. I'm sure it will continue to be so way into the 22nd Century.

    I’m now 78, I’m truly happy to have grown up with all the oldies of the 50, 60, 70, up to
    2021 .. I loved this song when Sam gave this to Us way back in 1961, the oldies are still
    rocking this world with their Music .. like Joe Brown, ex Beatle Members, R.Stones, Ray
    Stevens, Sarah Jory, Ronnie Milsap, Cliff Richards, Rod Steward, and Many others still
    put on live shows, they are all Legends with many Major Music Awards, Sad to say we
    are running out of time, even my self, Music of today Is Crap sorry to say, I Love my Oldies Music.

      I feel exactly the same way. He's one of my favorite artists, and he would have done so much more. I believe in my heart that he was murdered, and he was innocent of the accusations drummed up against him.
      He had a beautiful effortless delivery, nice range, and great songs. He is missed.

      @reignman2112 Because he had a lot of money in his pocket. Also the lady that shot him was the motel manager, and not the call girl he was with. The call girl stole his money, and that's why he was angry. She had seen him earlier flashing a big wad of money in the bar he was at. It was likely an operation in that motel to steal people's money. Anyway the call girl definitely was lying, and was called out on it at the time.

    One of my all-time great singers. I can remember my older sister just 😢 crying her eyes out every time she saw him on 📺 TV or heard his record on radio. Me being a small boy could not understand the behavior she was exhibitioning and I was 😕 confused. She never told me why. As I got older and started to carve out my own musical taste I started to listen to his voice and musical style, I soon realized why she was 😢 crying. His voice and style was like no other like I had never heard. His voice was like that of an angel. There will never be another one like him. God gave him to us just for a moment, but his beautiful voice and music lives on forever...Peace and 💘 Love...
