Sam Cooke was one of the great musicians of the mid 20th century. He started his career singing in gospel groups such as the //Soul Stirrers//. Sam Cooke has numerous gospel songs but it wasn’t until he left the church scene that he truly began to shine. He had a voice and singing style that was well suited for the slow rhythms and long notes of gospel. He used the musical styles of gospel music to make hits such as //Happy in Love, Chain Gang,// and //A Change is Gonna Come//. His songs became modern gospels that spoke of everyday life. The songs were uniquely his. His songs have been often imitated, but no one can duplicate the soulful voice of Sam Cooke.
