Sam Cooke influenced more singers in Soul Music than any other.He would have been the greatest Soul singer ever if he had not have been shot dead in 1964 just a year before Soul music broke big.
Otis Redding,Marvin Gaye and British Rock Star Rod Stewart owe everything to the influence of Sam Cooke.
Sam had a mass of great hits between 1957-1964 but sadly few were filmed for T.v or Concert BUT some were and here we have some great film of Sam singing and talking in interviews in that period
