A Change Is Gonna Come, Sam Cooke, 1964, Soul
In 1963, Sam Cooke was heavily compelled to write a song about human rights in America shortly after he heard Bob Dylan’s “Blowin’ in the Wind.” As such, he recorded “A Change Is Gonna Come” a year after and incorporated the message of his life challenges and experiences that someone like him undergoes in the United States.
The song became his greatest and most influential composition, as noted by several publications. The National Recording Registry also acknowledged its cultural, historical, and aesthetic significance, which was preserved in the Library of Congress. This masterpiece proves that Cooke deserved his title, “King of Soul,” throughout generations.
