When Sam Cooke was shot dead in a cheap motel in Hollywood, he was
one of America's most successful pop stars. He left a world in
which he had been born poor and had become very rich from the
success of such records as "You Send Me" and "A Wonderful World",
yet his body lay unrecognised in a morgue for two days. This
biography follows Cooke's life in a racist America where his voice
was one of the first to reach beyond the segregated audiences and
command a white following, Cooke himself becoming a player in the
fledgling civil rights movement. This award-winning biography is a
full and sometimes shocking story of a man whose songbook is
revered by great performers such as Otis Redding, Rod Stewart and
Aretha Franklin.
