About this product
Product Information
One of the most influential African American singers/songwriters in the late 1950s, Sam Cooke was among the first to blend gospel music and secular themes - the early foundation of soul music. He was the opposite of Elvis: a black performer who appealed to white audiences, who wrote his own songs, who controlled his own business destiny. In Dream Boogie, bestselling author Peter Guralnick captures Sam Cooke's remarkable accomplishment and chronicles his moving and important story, from Cooke's childhood as a choirboy to an adulthood when he was anything but that.Product Identifiers

Essential reading for anyone who loves soul music & racial equality!
It's the true story of genius. A musician with a wonderful voice & a composer of incomparable popular songs that are still played by DJs around the world, tunes that are covered, sampled & reimagined. Music that was original written & composed in the 1960's All of the above is true. But the story was no happy ending. Sam Cooke was also a successful entrepreneur with his own record label + an artist management agency. There was no stopping him, but he was a successful black man in America. He died at the peak of his powers in1964 aged 33. Many believe he was murdered possibly by the mob for infringing on their territory or by the Klan for being outstandingly successful in a white man's world.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
