Frasi di Sam Cooke

Samuel "Sam" Cooke è stato un cantante, compositore e produttore discografico statunitense, di musica gospel, R&B, soul e pop.

Musicisti e critici oggi lo ritengono uno dei fondatori della soul music e uno dei più importanti cantanti della storia di questo genere. È stato definito da molti "il re del soul" , e, anche se più di uno può ambire a questo titolo, il suo influsso è stato forte e il suo impatto sulla musica soul innegabile. Piazzò 29 singoli nella "Top 40" negli USA tra il 1957 e il 1965 ed è considerato spesso come "il creatore" del genere. Grandi successi come You Send Me, Chain Gang, Wonderful World, Bring It On Home to Me e A Change Is Gonna Come sono tra le sue canzoni più popolari.

Cooke fu tra i primi artisti di colore a occuparsi anche degli aspetti imprenditoriali della sua attività: fondò sia un'etichetta discografica che una casa editrice come ampliamento della sua carriera di cantante e compositore. Prese anche parte attiva nel Movimento per i Diritti Civili , usando le proprie capacità musicali per creare legami tra il pubblico di colore e il pubblico bianco. Wikipedia

Found someone new
To do the things I used to do for you.

I'm not ashamed,
I'll come running back to you.Can't sleep at night,
I can't eat a bite.
When you were mine I didn't treat you right.
Just call my name,
I know, I know I'm not ashamed.
I'll come running back to you.”

Somewhere up a New York way,

Twistin' the night away.They're twistin', twistin'
Everybody's feelin' great.
They're twistin', twistin'
They're twistin' the night away.”

“All day long they work so hard
Till the sun is goin' down.
Working on the highways and byways
And wearing, wearing a frown.
You hear them moanin' their lives away.

That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang."”

What a wonderful world this would be.”
