Sam Cooke: Legend

Arguably the most successful singer in the sense that he combined Gospel and popular success, Sam Cooke continues to have an influence on performers who were not yet born when he was murdered in 1964. Sam Cooke: Legend utilizes performance footage along with interviews conducted with celebrated figures like Aretha Franklin, Low Rawls, Lloyd Price, and Bobby Womack in order to chart Cooke's remarkable talent and tragic death.
