Franklin (Crossing Over). Sam Cooke was far more than a prince he was a king. Cooke’s life and legacy is one that will never be matched.

I choose to compare these two artist because I grew up listening to Otis Redding with my grandparents and I really enjoy the soulful side of rhythm and blues rather than the pop side. As mentioned above after hearing several songs from Coming Home by Leon Bridges I was shocked at how his music resembled songs from the mid 1900s.

She argues that social media causes the “rapidity of dissemination of information” (Cooke 2017) and facilitates filter bubbles in which confirmation bias, selective exposure, and selective information seeking is prominent. In short, Cooke (2017) attributes satisficing

and soul from top to bottom, the civil rights movement picked up the song very quickly. Sam cooke got inspiration for his song as he listened to other artists (The Unlikely Story of “A Change Is Gonna Come”, 2017). His inspiration was not only from other artists at the time, but through his own personal experiences. For me, I felt that singing it in a calmer (almost sadder) tone was appropriate. Sam Cooke sings this song big, as he is fighting for a change. I focused more on the hardships and troubling

With his soulful voice and good looks, Sam Cooke is a great example of a musician who used their music to support the Civil Right Movement. He uses a wide selection of various types of instruments to portray the different emotion the movement came with. One of his most legendary songs for the movement, released in 1964 was “A Change Is Gonna Come”. The song voices hardships that black men experienced in America during the 60’s. Being that Cooke grew up with little money he adds his own struggle in

From the latest tragedy of a shooting killing innocent men, women and children to the arguments centering around if our gun laws possess strict enough qualities to keep our country safe. Charles C. W. Cooke, the author of “Gun-Control Dishonesty”, spreads his conservative view on the topic by ripping away any hope for a brighter day.
