I was born by the river, in a little tent
Oh, and just like the river
I've been running ever since
It's been a long
A long time coming
But I know a change gone come 😌💯💪🏽

Happy birthday to soul singer, songwriter, and entrepreneur Sam Cooke!
Crowned "the inventor of soul music", Cooke had 30 U.S. top 40 hits between 1957 and 1964 including "You Send Me", "Cupid", "Chain Gang", "Wonderful World", and "Twistin' the Night Away."
He founded both SAR Records and a publishing imprint and management firm named Kags. He also took an active part in the civil rights movement.
In 2007, "A Change Is Gonna Come" was selected for preservation in the Library of Congress, with the National Recording Registry deeming the song "culturally, historically, or aesthetically important."
