Sam Cooke

Sam Cooke was a really good singer from the early 1950's to the early 1960's. Sam sang many classic 50's and 60's hits including: Bring It On Home To Me, Cupid, Chain Gang, Another Saturday Night, and many more amazing songs. Sadly, on December 11 of 1964, he was shot dead. He was shot in a Hacienda Motel in California by the then manager Bertha Franklin allegedly shot him in self defense. His last words were "Lady, you shot me!" according to Bertha. There is also a theory that his manager Allen Klein had a role in his killing, though there is no evidence supporting this theory. R.I.P king.
