My mother grew up with Sam Cooke and dated his brother L.C. When she would reminence about those days and my older brothers were in the room, they would leave. They heard it so many times.
i must comment on R.H. Harris as I am almost speechless that there is actual footage of him singing in his heyday! Sam Cooke is my all time favorite, and I had read that Harris was his hero. RH. Harris's voice is simply heavenly, pure, powerful, versatile, simply incredible. This video material is a true cultural/historical/musical blessing!
I know I wasn't even born when he was starting out but I have his CD's and he and Otis Redding were some of my Favorite Soul Singers. The Dick Clark Show was actually American Bandstand.
Wow, talk about Back down memory lane, I remember listening to the gospel singers early sunday morning as we got ready to go to sunday school, Sam Cooke and the Soul Stirrers were my favorite male group, Clara Ward and the ward singers was my favorite female group, On Saturday at noon the down home hour would come on @ 12 noon, it was on the air for only one hour, which wasn't long enough for me.So grateful that my parents introduced us to gospel music, took us to church, prayed and pleeded the blood of Jesus over our lives. Had it not been for them don't know where I'd be.... thank you for up uploading this fantastic video.
Sam Cook Was Like A Blazing Shooting Star Marking His Trail Behind Him With Soul Gold Dust For Us To Pick Up And Carry On As An Example To Carry Our Own Precious Personal Journey Along The Way To Heaven's Glory Up High In The Sky!!!
Sam Cooke was/is indeed one of the greatest things to not just happen to music, but to humanity. The songs he wrote/sang were so relevant and conscious... especially towards the end of his career/life with treasures such as "If I Had A Hammer", Bob Dylan's "Blowing In The Wind" which inspired "A Change Is Gonna Come", and "Keep Movin' On", etc. May the soul of music's greatest musician truly rest in peace.
@@mauricenunn6935 Try watching THE SAM COOKE STORY . IM NOT TO SURE IF THERE IS FOOTAGE BUT THEY DO TOUCH ON IT IN THAT DOCUMENTARY VERY GOOD DOCUMENTARY . ❤️❤️
I hope and pray that his kids and grandkids research his entire life please do it for the next generation .They need to know who Sam was and what he stood for.and how he came too be. That's our history!!!!!!Don't let it stop here. His legacy must got ought live and shine on forever,!!!!!
This is not a short documentary. I watch this music documentary series which was called Deep Soul on the BBC over several (I think 6) weeks, about the pioneers and founders of blues, gospel, soul and funk music. I consider it one of the best documentaries on black music ever made.
I love the part "I've got something to shout about." "Didn't HE wake you this morning?" "Yes!" I love Sam Cooke, he bites his bottom lip the same way Elvis does xxx
Mahalia Jackson Jesus met the woman at the well!!! All I can say is we have so many that have done so well because of the well when Jesus set and spoke to that woman!!😇 What a beautiful & powerful form of American Music Generations now should know their history and be very proud!!!
I like Sam Cooke but Rebert Harris makes me sit up and pay attention! Harris, Paul Foster, and the older Soul Stirrers would toss the lead back and forth - they would raise chills on you.
Thank you Mr. Anthony for the upload. I truly enjoy learning about our Gospel Greats, along with the history behind the artist's extraordinary God given talent and artistry.
It's a sad commentary that the British, obviously not blinded by bigotry like the Americans, appreciate the excellence of this music, more than the country of their birth. Not much has changed. in America.
Covers of songs out of copyright is not theft. It’s simply a cover. If it sells records, the writer of the song gets royalties, not the singer. Bands earn money for live performances, not selling records.
@Michael Harrison While I do not condone the OP remarks, IMO the UK has plenty of bigotry, neither do I agree with your comment "they all stole from black folks". In the late 50s and early 60s, many British musicians adored the African American blues which were all but ignored by mainstream American audiences. These musicians took that music, turned it around and sold it back to America. For example, Howlin' Wolf got his National US TV break as a direct result of The Rolling Stones insistence on his appearing on the Shindig show with them in 1965. bestclassicbands.com/rolling-stones-howlin-wolf-shindig-10-6-16/
Also The Jackson Five's Great Grandfather Kendall Brown (Maternal) was a Soloist in The Family Baptist Church in Alabama, while several of The Temptations were the Sons of Ministers, and a former Member Glenn Carl Leonard (RIP) became an Evangelist after leaving the Group. His Wife Darcel Wynne was a Professional Dancer who danced in Xanadu.
This where I came from back in the days rase up in the church sing right long with mother in church there in Houston Texas Sam Cook gospel songs I first learn at five year old and just because of back ground that why lm rue davis to day I thank God for bring from the church
(Ezekiel 28:14-15) "Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. {15} Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee."
(Ezekiel 28:16) "By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire."
Sam Cooke was killed at: 9137 S Figueroa St And Latasha Harlans (15 year old girl killed because of a bottle of orange juice) was murdered at: 9127 S. Figueroa St
sorry to rain on your racist parade but Elvis was influenced by and tried to emulate Brother Claude Ely, a Pentecostal white preacher. Elvis was also famous many years before Sam was even known, but dont let me stop you from grinding that axe lol. Maybe next time do some reading so you dont sound so ignorant.
@@Canibal_Animal stop drinking that Jim Jones cool aid that devil would sit in back of black church and watch the masters at work like Jackie Wilson. Sam Cooke look at click of Jackie
It's odd that when Sam and Dick are standing, they are of a similar height. When they sit down, however, Dick is a good head taller. I think that the seating is arranged so as to not see the black man as an equal.
or it might be that the interviewer holding a large mic might actually want to see the artist and be able to converse where it works for the camera angle. Dick didn't play those petty games, plenty of examples of black artists being made to degrade themselves on shows, this is not one of them.
@@JClaus1221 we all liked Dick Clark. I watched him every weekend, however even though he had some say so about how things would be run, that doesn't mean he didn't have to do the things behind the scenes that had to be done in those days.

2 questions Was it Sam idea to go to the motel? If so you can squash the set up theory. The other question did the woman who killed him realize who he was before she shot him or did she think when he signed into the motel as Sam Cooke it wasnt the real Sam ?
Could it be that crooked record producers and other shady types in the music industry set him up and had him killed, using his own people to do the dirty deed, keeping their hands "clean?"

Jasmine Reese I agree! This is where I first found about RH Harris. His voice was amazing
Sam Cooke was the man and he was wise beyond his years nuff said
makes me cry his voice is heavenly
If Sam Cooke stayed with the Soul Stirrs, he would be alive today. But still a legend of Soul.
Sam Cooke's voice is making me feel very emotional right now, what a voice!!! Thanks for bringing this history to us!
I know I wasn't even born when he was starting out but I have his CD's and he and Otis Redding were some of my Favorite Soul Singers. The Dick Clark Show was actually American Bandstand.
