And Cooke's vocal mannerisms--the melismatic swooping and yodeling he applied to key phrases--are still audible every time Aaron Neville opens his mouth (not to mention a host of other singers, from Rod Stewart to Aretha Franklin). Decades after his death, Sam Cooke's thrilling, seductive tenor remains one of the glories of American popular music. . Clearly, then, it was time for a full-dress biography, and Daniel Wolff has done a superlative job. His compositions have inspired a multitude of covers, few of which manage to lay a finger on the original versions. Endlessly ambitious, Cooke never quite figured out how to juggle his sacred and profane instincts, and Wolff is particularly good on this balancing act, as well as on the racial politics of the music industry. He traces the singer's transformation from gospel prodigy, who hit the road with the Soul Stirrers at the tender age of 19, to secular star
In 1957, already one of the biggest stars in gospel music, Sam Cooke burst onto the pop scene with the number one hit "You Send Me," the first in a string of rock & roll classics. The circumstances surrounding his death would remain a controversial mystery for years to come.. Then, at age thirty-three, he was found dead, shot through the heart in a seedy motel in south Los Angeles. He quickly became one of music business's first African-American entrepreneurs, as well as a role model in the early years of the civil rights struggle

Invaluable resource to the musician fan of Sam A Customer There are a couple of reviews included here that criticize Wolff's (et al) biography of Sam Cooke. However, I couldn't have been more pleased with it!As a musician/songwriter/singer, myself, "You Send Me" provided exactly the type of information I wanted to learn about my beloved Sam: how he composed, recorded, released and performed his music. I also enjoyed learnin
