A Change Is Gonna Come: The Mysterious Death of Sam Cooke
Sam Cooke was more than just a voice... he was a movement. A pioneer in soul music, a champion of civil rights, and a Black man in control of his own career at a time when that was nearly impossible. But on a December night in 1964, that voice was silenced under violent and suspicious circumstances.
In this episode, Dead Notes unpacks the strange contradictions, missing pieces, and buried truths behind the official story and asks: who really benefited from Sam Cooke’s death?
