About

Sam Cooke (born Samuel Cook) was an American singer, songwriter and businessman whose voice and artistic vision helped shape modern soul music. Born in Mississippi and raised in Chicago, he first gained attention as a gospel vocalist with the Soul Stirrers before moving into secular repertoire, achieving major commercial and critical success from 1957 onward.

His hits include classics such as "You Send Me," "Wonderful World," "Chain Gang," "Bring It On Home to Me" and the emblematic "A Change Is Gonna Come," a song associated with the civil rights movement. In just over eight years on the pop market he amassed dozens of singles on the Billboard charts, establishing himself as a central figure in popular Black music and influencing generations of subsequent artists.

Beyond his artistic work, Cooke was a pioneer in taking commercial control of his career: in 1961 he founded the SAR label and managed his publishing companies, a strategy rare among Black musicians of the time. He also participated in the civil rights movement, using his prominence to bring diverse audiences together.

Tragically killed in 1964, Cooke left a lasting legacy both through his repertoire and as a business model, and for his contribution to the cultural affirmation of Black artists in American music.
