I was born by the river in a little tent
Ohh and just like the river I've been running ev'r since
It's been a long time, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die
'Cause I don't know what's up there, beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

I go to the movie and I go downtown
Somebody keep tellin' me don't hang around
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

Then I go to my brother
And I say brother help me please
But he winds up knockin' me
Back down on my knees, ohh

There have been times that I thought I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

Why is that brilliance and tragedy so often go hand in hand? Grateful for the gift he gave us.

Malford used to walk everywhere back in the 80's. You'd see him all over town, walking. Seen him perform many times, his voice has always been something special. I might have to pick up that old CD just because.

Replying to my old post!
I saw Malford perform recently, at the Elgin Music Festival. He was born in Elgin, lives in Taylor now. He's 65 and his voice isn't what it was, but Malford is something special. So nice to see him perform again, and he's such a wonderful gentleman.

If Sam Cooke were alive to see two black legislators expelled from the  Tennessee House of Representatives for protesting gun violence, while a protesting white legislator was spared that fate, I do not think he would be able to stop vomiting.

Great job, Tennessee Republicans on your march toward apartheid!

Still waiting, still waiting... and it looks like the changes we're getting just now are two or three steps backwards.  

But this song stands along with Nina Simone's "Backlash Blues" and several others as bright rays of hope for the good change that may come -- and that we shall overcome, someday.

Such an extraordinary song with that full orchestra. That the following verse was cut from radio play when the song first came out for fear that it would cause racial unrest is a sad commentary on our past. RIP, Sam.

Check out the film "One Night in Miami", it tells a fictionalized story about Sam's changing of style and social activism.


Also recommend the doc (on Netflix) "the Two Killings of Sam Cooke".  So much more than a brilliant voice ; he was an amazing songwriter, a civil rights and racial equality advocate, an entrepreneur, provided support and advocacy for Black musicians and music, even stood up to the Mafia.  A remarkable individual, taken by a tragic (and highly suspicious) death.

Bob's version of this song is quite interesting indeed.  I can't post the link on RP, but if you search it on youtube it will pull it up.    Great live version from 2004.

edit: A little googling turned up a great article from The New Yorker circa 2015, describing the influences that built this song. He was inspired by Dylan's 'Blowin' In The Wind', for starters, but made the song much more personal, and drew from various sources, including the musical 'Showboat'. Watch Paul Robeson sing 'Ol' Man River', the influence is obvious - and powerful.

Terence Trent D'arby did an amazing version too. Captured the anguish of the struggle with an amazing voice. As far as I know it is only available on the soundtrack of a TV mini-series 'The Promised Land' circa 1995.

So for the benefit of those of us who require mental crutches to see forward, in what category does this song fall?  R&B?  Soul?   

 
Cooke is regarded as The Father Of Soul Music, for example his first hit "You Send Me" in 1957 you can hear how he sweetened up the R&B and Do-Wop of the '50's that started Soul Music, all the singers that followed Cooke in the 1960's credit him as inspiration and an idol.
To answer your question, if I had to hang a label on it I'd say Soul Music but that is what my ears hear.
This song "A Change Is Gonna Come" I get a little jazzy and Gospel feel to it but Cooke put his signature on it and made it soulful

  Objectively-speaking, there are probably 'better' voices. But there is something about his voice that just crushes it, something very rare indeed. Marvin Gaye had it. Patsy Cline had it. Something in their voices conveys intense emotions. I do not disagree with your statement though: Mr. Cooke's voice is without equal.

Not sure how accurate this story is, but I thought I heard an interview about the writing of this song. Supposedly he wrote it in the car on the way to a gig: they needed another song for their set list and wanted something gospel-sounding but not TOO gospel-sounding. I don't know if there's really such a thing as divine inspiration, but this song would be pretty good proof.

Edit: Wiki set me straight. Written in his tour bus after visiting with demonstrators. Doesn't change the quality of the song though.

i think it's truly difficult to comprehend or figure out exactly what a huge and profound influence he, otis redding and smokey robinson were on the early '60's music scene in america.  the beatles, of course, were obliterating everything north, east, south and west at the very same time but those three did what they did best....black american soul, the very root of rock n' roll.  perhaps, if i may be so bold as to add, saving the american pop music at the same time.  there was, in fact, no real american answer for the beatles.  they sprang from the roots of the fifties (buddy holly, little richard, everly bros. etc) but those three were all american originals.

This is a great example of an artist taking control of his career. Cooke heard Dylan's "Blowin' In The Wind," and wanted to make that kind of statement. Not many guys can do this, but he wrote A Change Is Gonna Come and made a drastic shift away from the lighter songs he was doing to that point.

Could be sacrlege to say, but I was reading an interview with Steve Perry of Journey, and he cites Sam Cooke as a favourite. And then I listened to Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin'and heard it right away. Sam's influence even spread into 1970s AOR! Who would have thunk it? ThePoose wrote:
And how about Marvin, Otis and Rev. Al? Sad that legal wrangling kept this recording from being released to all humanity until the latest millennium. Credit Bob's Blowin' in the Wind for Sam's inspiration to write this.
