@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 J-Hud's was cool and all, but too much belting, screaming, and "singing for the sake of singing" in that one. Sam Cooke is just one of those once in a hundred generations kind of singer where anybody who tries covering a song he did will always live in his shadow, no matter how great the covering singer is.
These kids got talent, and props to to them, but NOBODY sings it better than Sam Cooke. His voice, his style, his phrasing, he simply makes/made this song his forever.
I am a seventy six year old great grand mother and I am here to tell u there will never be anyone to sing A CHANGE GONNA COME better than the great Sam Cooke.
This song is just too iconic to be covered, even by very talented singers... Sam was perfect and also he embodied all the pain in the song, he lived it. Whenever I listen to him I cry like a baby.
true, true, Sam Cooke has a beautiful voice, none are as good maybe, but I feel they each took a piece of that beauty and added in a his own thing and some of these covers especially did a good job. So they did good I'm glad his music is still alive and people who may not know it might go and find the original and might love it.
No one can come close to the greatest singer to ever live, Sam Cooke. All imitators fail to create the unique greatest of Sam. We were fortunate to have Sam here on earth.
One SAM one COOKE. ONE SAM COOKE. NOBODY DOES THAT SONG BETTER THAN SAM WITH HIS SWEET HEAVENLY VOICE. DON'T MAKE THAT COMPARISON AGAIN. RIP SAM COOKE❤❤
Nobody just no one sings it better than San Cooke. I’m 58 and been listening to Sam Cooke since I was 14 and no one tops his soul. These songs, this song was of his era, it was his. That said singer no 2 was hellish good
They all found their way, inspired by the OG Sam Cooke. The first Artist , and the male and female duo, went further by finding their own expression . Beautiful ❤
No one said they sound like Sam Cooke. They are themselves and they sound good. They did it there way. We shouldn't criticize. At least they did better than me.😊
Some really good performances right there. My favorite is Johnny Manuel. Ya’ll gotta learn to separate the past from the present. We all know Sam Cooke was great. my goodness!
@greggerge792 Well said, of course Sam Cooke's is timeless, and like you say everybody else should just look at the present from Johnny Manuels version was so good of all the others
Wow you could feel pain in that last one , had to straighten my face back out my god that young man can belt it out with so much soul ! Absolutely love him !💖 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🙏👍
I love this song so much especially for the feeling it gives me when sang by Sam Cooke and only the first singer came close. He is the one who made me press the like button.
Excellent in their own right. A true tribute to the great Sam Cooke. Great thing about melanin hearts, it ain’t always about competition. Sometimes it’s solely about HONOR.❤🎉
I don't see any comments about Sam Cooke being untouchable. Instead of being provoked by the title, just enjoy these awesome performances. The first and the last one are my favorites.
I’m glad the young artist honor and respect Sam Cooke, arguably The Godfather of R&B. sam’s voice is a one of a kind and I haven’t heard anyone come close! Sam’s style of singing, his voice, writing, production and note placement makes him impossible to copy!
Nobody can or ever will sing this song better than Sam Cooke. Y'all know it. Just putting that title to get people to listen lol.....He's good in his own, but Sam oh Sam!
The reason no one will ever sing it better today is becuz no one today will ever feel the pain of growing up through that era no matter how tough their life is they will never understand that pain he lived thru they Era
@greggeorge792: NO ITS NOT FALSE! WHEN SAM COOKE RECORDED THIS SONG IT WAS DURING THE TURBULENT 60's ! SO ITS NOT FALSE! DON'T JUST BRUSH AWAY WHAT MY ANCESTORS WENT THROUGH!
No matter how dramatic others try to make their rendition of this song, noone has ever, and in my opinion, will never sing it better than Sam Cooke...waste of time trying. Sam's voice was so pure and he phrased his words so eloquently. Plus, his recordings were made with basic musical instruments, unlike all the instruments used today to make artists sound good...just his pure honest vocals. Noone else like him. What a loss.😔🕊
I can’t disagree more. They hit notes but it didn’t have shape, their use of vowels detracted from the performance, couldn’t focus on the resonance of their voice
Great Covers BUT Sam Cookes voice is unmatched idgaf what anyone tells me. One of the best voices that ever graced this Earth. R.I.P. to one of the Goats.
There is no comparison. Only Sam Cooke brings he tears , and I'm a tough person. Hey a have their spin but not the simple heart wrenching voice of Sam Cooke.Just didn't happen.
False. Come on. Give the next gen some props. I love my 45’s from the good ole days but have a spot for some new cats making their own way by paying tribute.
Nobody is better than Sam Cooke. He is unique like his voice and his way of singing.
The Great Mahalia Jackson did with Nobody Knows ;)
Jennifer Hudson did a great rendition.

@@adamzi4984 I don't disagree. Different voice.
Al Green man
Nobody sings it better than Sam Cooke. Nobody.
Yeah that's why I was tripping off the headline talking about this is better than original can't nobody sing this song better then cook himself
We know!!! EXACTLY!!!!
NOBODY!!!!
NOBODY.. PERIOD!!!
@@marcojroc9388 very sorry I was sleeping can you please give me another video
Sam will never be surpassed. This was a really good tribute!
Lets not GET CARRIED AWAY...THE ICONIC SAM COOKE LEGEND IS THE GREATEST SINGER THAT HAS EVER LIVED...REST IN HEAVEN

Exactly
So true. No one can ever touch sam cooke or even come close.
Smh ,very well said so True .!🎶 👍
You are so right ❤👏🏽
I agree.
These kids got talent, and props to to them, but NOBODY sings it better than Sam Cooke. His voice, his style, his phrasing, he simply makes/made this song his forever.
And he sang it when it really mattered - so lots of feeling!
No body sings like Sam Cooke. He was in a world of his own
No one sings this song in my opinion better than Sam Cooke.
Totally agreed😊
And that's the truth
An insult to the craft it's self this very thoughtful of comparison...confusing screaming to a master
I am a seventy six year old great grand mother and I am here to tell u there will never be anyone to sing A CHANGE GONNA COME better than the great Sam Cooke.
Same as ❤️
@@Bell-go8mcno disrespect but I think Otis Redding song it better more pain and soul
Sam cooke did this song in the 60's and even in 2023, no one can sing it better. Sam cooke ( the greatest ever).
The Great Sam Cooke - smooth, silky, and effortless. Indelible and would never be surpassed. RIP.
These singers will never be remembered…Sam Cooke Will live on forever❤ Thats the difference.
Sam Cooke was a natural no one can sing it better than him.❤.
This song is just too iconic to be covered, even by very talented singers... Sam was perfect and also he embodied all the pain in the song, he lived it. Whenever I listen to him I cry like a baby.
That second brother knocked the ball out of the ballpark, no musical theatrics, just old-fashioned soul singing. KUDOS!!
Sam cook's voice is smooth and flows like running water that flows straight to your heart
Sam Cooke voice was his Gift... Blessed from God
NOBODY, NOWHERE, IN THIS WORLD COULD EVER SING ANYTHING LIKE OR BETTER THAN SAM COOKE, BOTTOMLINE!! AND THAT'S A FACT!!!!❤
BY GOD, I THOUGHT WE'VE GONE OVER THIS. NOBODY CAN BEAT SAM COOKE SINGING A SAM COOKE SONG........ NOBODY PERIODT!!!

Nobody is better! Sam cooke is unique a diamond in music history!!!
This is cool, but nobody's touching the greatest vocalist ever... Sam Cooke can never be replicated.
Has nuances of Otis Redding, the calm then the lift, old REAL sounding SOUL MUSIC❗❗❗SAM COOKE, NO WAY
Sam was the smoothest ever. Otis made your hair stand on end tho.
@@dmvbay2535 Otis was also fantastic, but not quite in Sam's league.
@@poetryselite humbly and respectfully disagree
@@dmvbay2535 That's not a problem... We are always able to agree to disagree.
One SAM one COOKE. ONE SAM COOKE. NOBODY DOES THAT SONG BETTER THAN SAM WITH HIS SWEET HEAVENLY VOICE. DON'T MAKE THAT COMPARISON AGAIN. RIP SAM COOKE❤❤
The 2ng guy is amazing. He is the only one to give me goosebumps. Love him
They all making Mr Sam Cooke very proud ❤
Facts!!! The rest are just making it about Sam Cooke. We already know they don't compare but let's still recognize their incredible performances.
These 2 should do duets, they blend together perfectly.
Amazing! The second one it's outstanding, that range wow!!
Nobody just no one sings it better than San Cooke. I’m 58 and been listening to Sam Cooke since I was 14 and no one tops his soul. These songs, this song was of his era, it was his. That said singer no 2 was hellish good

It’s not about beating Sam Cooke. It’s about the way these artist honor him and how his legacy lives on in them! They are beautiful!
This is proof of Sam Cooke's genius. Many will try, but in my opinion, none will eclipse his formidable soul-filled voice!

@@DrPib81 WTF kind of review is that?
It's like swallowing a thesaurus and being erudite at the same time
Sam is the man! So people can stop trying to do it better.
My God. Thats beatifull. i cryed. wooooow
NO COMPARISON!! SAM COOKE IS THE KING!
This is such a sad song, but the lyrics of this song is so true!
Dude gave me chills.
Excellent job.
I hate when people compare artists. Each one is a gift!
Grew up listening to Sam Cooke, Drifters and Brooke Benton! There's only one Sam Cooke!
I love this song sing it my brother's and sister's R.I.P. Mr Sam Cooke
Flower jacket put a twist to add song that was beautiful nobody is trying to imatate, just a beautiful twist❤
this makes you realise just how great the late Sam Cooke was.
A few seconds in and hitting the like button as fast as I would turn my chair around if I was a Coach on The Voice 🤩
Luv most all Sam Cooke covers by newer generations. They put their hearts and souls in it in ways us older dinosaurs most of the time don't
There is a lot of talent out there
They are angels singing❤
Number 1 tore it up...Got My Vote
Great Covers BUT Sam Cookes voice is unmatched idgaf what anyone tells me. One of the best voices that ever graced this Earth. R.I.P. to one of the Goats.
My gosh you all incredible ...hi from Indonesia ❤❤❤
There is no comparison. Only Sam Cooke brings he tears , and I'm a tough person. Hey a have their spin but not the simple heart wrenching voice of Sam Cooke.Just didn't happen.
So true! People must stop comparing!
No one tops Sam. This was his song. They all are good and do it justice.
No one is better than Sam Cooke. Are you kidding me?
Love them all!!
Nothing is better than the original, but these are good covers
I have chills, had to comment on this first singer... Exceptional voice!!!
Sam Cooke can never be beat but there's a guy on U- tube that sings this song in a barber shop that I can honestly say came in 2nd!!!... Love it up😊
None of them were better than the smooth, silky, soulful Sam Cook. Some were good but, better than Sam; Never.
Never, never, never!
You said that right. They just don't have the same type voice as
Sam Cooke.
The girl was the best
False. Come on. Give the next gen some props. I love my 45’s from the good ole days but have a spot for some new cats making their own way by paying tribute.
The best version will always and forever be the original.
Nobody is better than Sam Cooke
I thought they were all amazing. Hard to pick just one
Just awesome!😊
Amen to that.. nobody sings better than any of the singers from back in the day!!♥️💙💜💛💚
