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".
