Gene this is the first time hearing about you and Sam, As a young lady I didn't care that much for him, but that soon changed.

Just do your thang Miss Bert..we ALL have lots to learn. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't have known about the youtubes, which are wonderful. I learned alot from watching the whole series today. What a tragedy to lose Sam Cooke. The bigger tragedy is that his whole catalogue was stolen from his family. Klein took it. Hmmm.

I'm a little down because I do so much and aside from Sole, nobody supports the blogs, etc, by leaving comments to have discussions. Feel free to do so if you are inclined. ~e

That's a great recollection Gene. I invite you and Miss. Bert to check out the blog that I did about a year and a half ago.

The Death Of Sam Cooke

I was Sam Cooke`s bellhop! A year or two before Sam was killed, I saw him in concert, along with the Drifters, Dee clark and some others I`ve forgotten. I was in High School and in those days we couldn`t say at Holiday Inn or any other white only hotel/motel. We knew the performers were gonna have to stay at a black owed rooming house called Woods Guest House.So we went there to wait..and see if we could get some autographs. The Drifters showed up along with some band members. But no sight of Sam. Around 2 am we dicided to leave, we had school the next day...I think. Just then this long black Caddilac rounded the corner and pulls up right in front of us. Out steps Sam Cooke with some woman hanging on his arm. He signed autographs for us then asked if we would carry his bags to his room. Well, he didn`t have to ask us twice. I was star sruck. lol I still remember that bag, it was brown leather with the initials S C in gold on it. And you know what, he didn`t even give us a tip! ROFL But that was OK, I had just carried Sam Cooke`s suitcase! I was feeling like a million bucks.
