COOKE, SAM.
Born 22nd January 1935 in Chicago. Shot dead 16th December 1964 in a Los Angeles motel room.Vocals.
One of eight children of a church minister, his first taste of music was as a member of a gospel choir. His ability took him to the post of lead tenor for the Soul Stirrers, a well known gospel choir/group. They signed a record deal in 1951 but it took Sam another five years to sign a solo deal. Originally he recorded as Dale Cooke but that was dropped when he signed to Keen Records in 1957. His first hit, "You Send Me", was written by his brother Charles. His career took off overnight after an appearance later that year on the "Ed Sullivan Show".
In 1963 his son, Vincent drowned in the family's swimming pool. That tragedy was followed the next year by his own killing by motel owner Bertha Franklin. She claimed that he had tried to rape a woman in her motel and had then assaulted her. Franklin had defended herself by shooting him. The verdict of a court was that it had been justifiable homicide.
Sam Cooke's funeral was one of the biggest in music's history with a reported 200,000 fans attending.
