Liner Notes
Sam Cooke lived in an age and time when music came bursting and turning like a storm into our lives, casting new ideas, ideals and future changes. Today Sam lives, today music is an essential part of the daily stability and prosperity of the future. His was a gift, the priceless jewel; not by chance did he live, rather God molded his dusting and shaped his sounds into a living monument.
I knew him well, from youth to maturity. I was there when they laid him to rest. His lyrics bespeak him. “It wasn’t what you want to compose that awakens people, but the want of truth bursting inside like being in a church with sincerity and faith which leads to brotherhood in search of a leader that will go forth shouting, telling it like it is, rapping and mapping a better nation where words and melodies project more precisely than food and drink.”
