A Change Is Going To Come

[DaCuBaN]

Shot dead in 1964 over an alleged dispute with the owner of an LA hotel, Sam Cooke penned some of the greatest tracks of the previous century - most notably "Chain Gang" and "A Change is Gonna Come", both of which dealt with the subject of segregation. To my mind, he's one of the most inspired artists ever to walk the face of this dirtball.

I do so hope you agree...

No. Defiantly not the best song of like, all time. Gosh.

Rock on!

I'd say that it's up there, it is just as good if not better than Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On". It always reminds me of the end of Spike's Malcolm X movie when he's driving to the Audubon.

[codyvo]

Yeah, thats a great song. And I too am reminded of the end of the Malcolm X movie.

[bolshevik butcher]

It's a very good song. I don't think there is a best song ever.

The "Alleged dispute" being the subsequently proven rape of a twenty two year old girl. But hey he could sure sing.
