Anyone Watch Netflix's New Documentary on Sam Cooke

[mamba]

I knew he was a great singer, but I didn’t realize how special he really was as a vocalist . Like, I’d never heard that version of Bring Home to Me live (been listening to that album since I saw the doc) that he did in Harlem Square. He was able to sing and put that raspiness in his voice whenever he wanted.

I’ll always be your slave - till I’m buried in my grave.

He was special. Could go from the chitlin’ circuit to the Copa and kill it.

The Night Beat album gives you a sense for his greatness.

Good read. LC Cooke’s relationship with Allen Klein after Sam Cooke’s death was always questionable.

I have to watch the documentary, but what I've read on here and that link with the last comment, had me. All these years I just brushed it off like he went into a rage and the poor woman defended herself, but that doesn't look to be remotely the case. Gangsters are still getting away with a lot of things today, but not like in those days. Back then the sh!t they could get away with such as Cooke's murder, is wow.

A lot of good info here, too:

Several blog entries from someone who clearly knows what happened.

That snake Allen Klein had Sam killed. But, he also had allies in JW Alexander and Sam’s wife, Barbara.

End of the doc had me

It's shameful we haven't come close to living up to the black excellence of that era.

Watched last night. Remarkable.

I never knew about how concerned he was with Black activism and ownership; just goes to show you how effective the cover-up of his social views were after his death.

I finished watch it. What a great documentary . A soul legend taken from us too soon.




I don't buy his death at the motel situation with well known prostitute and got killed by the motel manager black woman. Clearly was a setup.
