You can't talk about Sam Cooke unless Change is gonna come is included. It was a truly inspiring song that took a lot of guts to do in 1963. In particular, I like where he included what blacks were doing to blacks as apart of civil rights.

The first time I heard Sam Cooke was as a kid in Memphis. My Mom listened to the radio in the car. She just plain swooned. His voice was so damn pure.
