The award-winning biography of the man who invented soul music.
When Sam Cooke was shot dead in a cheap motel in Hollywood, he was one of America's most successful pop stars. Already one of the most prominent figures on the gospel scene, in 1957 Cooke burst onto the pop charts with the huge hit, You Send Me - making him the first black singer to reach beyond segregated audiences and command a white following. Decades after his death, Sam Cooke's thrilling, seductive tenor and effortless compositions still sound fresh and his songs have inspired a multitude of covers by performers, including Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, Rod Stewart and Simon and Garfunkel.
This is the definitive biography of the American musical legend that encompasses the ambitions and contradictions of the man, and the explosive times in which he lived and died.
'An excellent work - compelling' Financial Times
When Sam Cooke was shot dead in a cheap motel in Hollywood, he was one of America's most successful pop stars. He left a world in which he had been born poor and had become very rich from the success of such records as "You Send Me" and "A Wonderful World", yet his body lay unrecognised in a morgue for two days. This biography follows Cooke's life in a racist America where his voice was one of the first to reach beyond the segregated audiences and command a white following, Cooke himself becoming a player in the fledgling civil rights movement. This award-winning biography is a full and sometimes shocking story of a man whose songbook is revered by great performers such as Otis Redding, Rod Stewart and Aretha Franklin.
