Dwayne Cooke - A change gonna come | Posted by @Melo_da_kidd

[@kylatiese3741]

This kid sang this song better than many of the established singers who all did remakes and just didn't capture the emotion of the song. He seriously did way better. Im impressed especially for his age. And I am super critical

[@tiffanybarnaby5909]

Here I am, 7 years later since I first heard this extraordinary rendition and wondering... where is this kid, now? I never grow tired of playing this. Kid’s got talent.

[@sarahlevesque4347]

like wise it’s always a cover I revisit often and still gives me chills 🥺🖤

[@tammynededog4519]

That's cool man . I heard one cover of his and was hooked on his voice since . His perfect cover by Ed Sheeran is ridiculous . One of the best to sing perfect besides Ed himself . Dywane cook a young legend

[@wordnerdink]

He’s like 25

[@Singing_Drake_Animal_Homestead]

I was listening to Sam Cooke sing this song, & after it got over, this popped up & continued to play. WOW stopped me dead in my tracks & had to run to my laptop to see who this heavenly angelic voice belonged to. WOW!!!! WOW is all I can say. TALENT!!!! God has surely blessed this boy with a gift. Hearing him sing this blessed me so much. Sounds like he stepped right out the heavenly choir. If u wanna know what heaven will sound like, its gonna be just like this, only times millions of ppl. May God richly bless you Dwayne & may He take you to new heights & great places in your life with this gift He has bestowed upon you.

I get confused by people who dislike videos. ok you are entitled to your opinion I get that but I think even sam Cooke would hit the thumbs up on this. good job.

[@andreamcgehee5072]

Cjay Wilson they must be white people who dislike

[@GaugeMe43]

Andrea mcgehee That makes no sense.

[@threewise-men6638]

Cjay Wilson it is called "Freedom Of Speech" and just in case you didn't think about the fact that when anyone does anything for the public view, they are open for compliments AND criticsm! Entertaining is not the only option for acknowledging the talent or success of a Black person. Let's consider encouraging our young people to desire to be successful in areas other than entertainment. For this reason I give this video a thumbs down!

[@Akira-bd6lx]

Are you serious? Your confused, but then understand they a right to their opinion... smh what an idiotic comment

[@nickthompson6289]

There is not only talent here, but inspiring courage as well. This young man has the courage to share with the world something most people cant do in front of more than a few people. He is feeling it, and so am I. This is for the world.

[@carlamorales3519]

I cannot express how much much I love this kids singing!! He should have been signed a long time ago!! If he hasn't... Its a shame!!! Pure talent!!

This boys sweet sweet soul is just pouring out in his singing. So much heart put in it, this is truly my favorite rendition of this song. Next to Otis Reddings of course(please dont hate me but I've always kinda liked Otis' version a little better than the original even tho I give all credit to Sam) He belts it out like he wrote it. Sam Cooke would be proud.

[@mudersville]

What an old soul. So talented. Really captures the emotional struggle yet quite hope of the song.

Sam Cooke is one of my all time fav’s. But sadly many don’t don’t do justice to renditions of his songs. But out of the blue this kid drops this bomb on my lap, if I didn’t know better, I’d say This is Sam Cooke back in his younger days practising/rehearsing this song. Coz he comes so close to the real deal. Love your voice buddy. You made my day. You have soul in your voice and you have somehow made this song uniquely yours. I absolutely love it and love you. I hope you bring back the days of Sam Cooke and show people what real music sounded like. 😃🙏🏼😃 thank you for recording that for us. God bless you!

I believe this is an audition tape.And I wouldn't want him to go on America's Got Talent or any of those other rigged up shows. Everybody knows they are phony and set up. This kid has nothing to prove on a stage like that. He's mega talented with a style of his very own at a young age. He needs guidance from some of the legends. Not a heartbreak and a stab to his self esteem on one of those phony TV contests.
