Title: Sam Cooke – The Best Of Sam Cooke
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1962, R&B, Soul, Chicago, Illinois
Condition: New

Cultural Facts:

  1. Legal Trouble: Oct 1963, Shreveport: a pre-booked room was refused under segregation; Cooke was arrested for “disturbing the peace” and jailed overnight.

  2. Public Scandal: Dec 11, 1964: shot at LA’s Hacienda Motel by manager Bertha Franklin; ruled justifiable homicide, but friends disputed the story for decades.

  3. Family Ties: Pressure stacked up fast: his first wife Barbara died in a 1953 crash, his toddler son drowned in 1963—then Cooke was gone at 33.
