Most of my followers are here for the football takes, but I'm a big film, music, and game guy as well.
There are few singers or musicians I mention more often than Sam Cooke, who died on this date in 1964.
Cooke had one of the most unique sounds, both of his day and until now.

These are his top five songs on Spotify, each a timeless classic in his own distinct style, but also varied in tone, topic, and mood.
Cooke could bring it no matter what you were feeling, and you couldn't help but sing along if you were the type to when the mood struck.

I'm currently nearly five years older than Cooke was when he was killed, and considering the quality and volume of his work I think it's one of the greatest cultural tragedies that we were robbed of what he could have done with a full career.
There's a Sam Cooke for almost any mood.
If you're angry, frustrated with injustice in your life and the world. Sam's there for you to tell you change gonna come.
If you've had a fantastic day and you want something that matches that euphoria, honey it's all right.

America's love of music comes and goes in waves, but there hasn't been a moment in my life that I couldn't pick up a Sam Cooke song and either ride the wave of my current mood or snap me out of it if I needed it.
One of the most influential artists of all time, with good reason.
