It makes you complicit with their lame explanation. Sam Cooke did not kidnap a hooker. Secondly Dolores Mohawk did not divorce him for serial infidelity. He left to go to Los Angeles to cross over to pop music and she did not want to come with him. He was always on the road and she was tired of always being alone at home. That was what ended their marriage. Too bad people like you never talk to the family and get the real story.

I already knew much about Malcolm X, Jim Brown, and Ali, but I never knew the story of the tragedy of Sam's death, as much as I love his music. I'm almost shocked someone hasn't made a movie about this man's life experience yet, but they should.

Really? <br />Why would Sam run out wearing a jacket and only one shoe? It's nonsense. A complete set up. He was murdered, but not by Franklin.<br />Yes Sam liked the ladies. He was only 33. Too young to have fathered six children sure, but also he married too young (especially in that business with so much temptation). <br />I was just four years old when he died. But since I can remember, I've loved his music and I always will. He once said he 'bombed' at the Copa. Said he wasn't ready. Nonsense. The crowd wasn't ready for his magical performance. <br />That evil little Asian girl - is she still alive. I know she killed her husband in the 70s. Sordid women, out for financial gain.<br />RIP Mr Soul xx<br />Thank you for the great blog.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09417755628600597723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148048131502110089.post-29969852591623066892018-11-16T15:31:55.314-06:002018-11-16T15:31:55.314-06:00Love his music even though he was before my time. ...Love his music even though he was before my time.

Either way, thanks, it is such the treat to know that an alumni of mine writes like no one who ever went to school there and more like the school I graduated, Senn, in 77' the years it had the distinction of being the most interracial school on the planet.<br />Wheww, that was weird, anyway when I read you it is those weird thoughts that slay me.<br />You are a Renaissance Man Patrick, a description only another could place..<br />Kefdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07002098909122041597noreply@blogger.com
