Sam Cooke : King Of Soul


 

Samuel Cooke

 (January 22, 1931 – December 11, 1964) 

was an American

 Soul singer 

and songwriter.

 Considered one 

of the most influential 

soul artists 

of all time,

 Cooke is commonly

 referred to as the

 "King of Soul"

 for his distinctive vocals,

 pioneering contributions

 to the genre,

 and significance in

 popular music. 

During his eight-year career, 

Cooke released 

29 singles 

that charted in

 the Top 40

 of the

 Billboard Hot 100 chart, 

as well as

 20 singles

 in the Top 10 of 

Billboard's 

Black Singles chart.

 In 1964, 

he was shot and killed 

by the manager 

of a motel in

 Los Angeles. 

After an inquest 

and investigation,

 the courts ruled 

Cooke's death

 to be a 

justifiable homicide. 

His family has 

since questioned

 the circumstances

 of his death.

 In 2015, 

Cooke was ranked

 number 28

 in Billboard magazine's

 list of the 

"35 Greatest

 R&B Artists of All Time".
