About Playlist
In a career that spanned less than 10 years, the legendary Sam Cooke gave us some of the greatest standards and classics of soul. Touching pop, rhythm and blues, gospel, and twist, "The Kind of Soul" demonstrated an indisputable talent on vocals and an important role in the evolution of the genre. In addition to his many hits, he was sensitive to the social context of the time (notably the civil rights movement) and wrote the magnificent "A Change is Gonna Come," his absolute masterpiece. He died suddenly on December 11, 1964, at age 33 and at the height of his fame. Rediscover his legacy.
