    My dad worked at The Most in Pompano Beach, FL as a teen and he remembers seeing Sam Cooke. my dad saw every great singer in black America at that little club. My mom and grandmother talked about how much they loved him Sam Cooke also. He was special, I still can’t imagine how that lady shot him; everybody knew who Sam Cooke was, I wasn’t even born when he died and it was like he was alive my whole life.

    Bi-racial people are a problem when they advocate that 'our' music should be everybody's music. Mexicans don't let everybody become mariachi bands. And contrary to her lie, country and western is a highly polarized and closed genre to Black people. Always has been.

      There is speculation that the hotel owner was the real shooter , rumors of maybe a coverup and she just became the fail person .
