This song is comfort for the wounded spirit, from perhaps the greatest artist of his time. The liner notes in the CD state that upon hearing Bob Dylans' Blowin' In The Wind, he was so amazed by it that he set to penning Change Gonna Come. The only singer that stands in good company with him is Sananda Maitreya, aka Terence Trent D'arby.
Man Sam had many great songs. He was the biggest black singer in his day. They called Sam The Man Who Invented Soul. Check out songs like Having a Party, Another Saturday Night, You Send Me, Sad Mood, That's it I quit, I'm Moving On, Whole lot of Woman, Soothe Me, Good News, Let the Good times Roll and many, many more. Not to mention he was one of the greatest gospel singers before he went to popular music. He was the lead singer of the legendary gospel group The Soul Stirrers. After Sam left the Soul Stirrers another future legend took over on lead and that was the late great Johnny Taylor. When you say Sam Cooke his influence on singers is second to none.
Sam Cooke…such a Legend & definitely suspicious his death….no way he got messed up with that Oriental woman at that Motel….the man was becoming MASSIVE…him Malcom X & Muhammad Ali (Cassius Clay). Was only the early/mid 1960s these guys scared Capitol Hill, like John Lennon as well. Beautiful Song x
Misheard lyric from Sam Cooke's Twistin' The Night Away - instead of "chick in slacks," I always sang "chicken slats." Like the slats on a chicken coop. You're welcome.

Sam's baby son Vincent was only 18 months old when he drowned in the pool at his home.
