Just watched his Documentary
The last 6 months before his death he got visits from the Mafia in his dressing rooms before he performed at live shows. They wanted a cut of the profits, but he was like "fukk outta here man
" to them
And the woman who shot him was affiliated with the Mafia as well
They is also speculation that the Joo, Allen Klein had a hand in it as well because Sam Cooke wanted the label to be completely Black Owned
