we played it and my grandfather's and my dad's funeral.

i agree, it's a classic. i love hip-hop, but this era of music-70's soul is probably my favorite.

imagine growin up on Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye, Donny Hathaway, Smokey Robinson, Gil Scott Heron, Curtis Mayfield, etc.
:wow:

There's a reason, breh. Once we were free to make music that was of our making and rooted in our struggle, the sound could only be beautiful to the ears. Cooke..Gaye..Brown..et. al. These were black voices who echoed the pain and joy of our people. Hold on to those records if you still have them. I'm never throwing my father's records away. :francis:

It was told years ago about this that Sam Cooke murder was a set up to take his masters and shut him up about others things in the political climate.

This is most likely the case. Breh was #2 behind Elvis in sales on his label.

He got control of his own shyt and cacs weren’t having it, as it set an example for other artists.

Cacs subsequently dirtied his name so other Black people would not revisit his model.

He was about to confront the Jew that finessed him out of his label 2 days before he was killed. Definitely a set up.
