Memories

[@lyndamartinez2257]

before I retired a few years ago I drove past the Shrine Auditorium each morning on my way to my teaching job Thought about Sam every day. My daughter went to USC which is right next to the Shrine,so I thought about him alot driving there too.Sam Cooke and his awesome music have been in my life since i was a teenager,inspiring and comforting me always.May his memory continue to be a blessing for generations to come

[@maryjane974]

My constant prayer is to be nearer, My God, to Thee! I want to be better today than I was yesterday and better tomorrow than I am today. 🙏🏾The Most High makes this possible as His never-changing love is ever-changing me.🙌🏾

[@carollawrence2490]

I saw Sam Cooke and The Soul Stirrers September and October 1955 in my hometown of Charleston, SC along with Ira Tucker and the Dixie Hummingbirds. I was fourteen at the time and sang with a teenage Gospel Group, "The Southern Hummingbirds" and we all went to hear Sam and Ira. I remember the Soul Stirrers opened with "Wonderful," and Sam must have held that opening note on Wonderful for a minute twisting it until women were screaming and falling out. They did these same songs on KZbin and the church was on fire when he talked about his mother in "Nearer to Thee." After the program was over one of our members, Calvin, who had polio when he was young and walked with one crutch went to Sam's dressing room and banged on the door with his crutch yelling, "Sam, come on out." Sam, being the down-to-earth man he was, came out in his bath robe, greeted each one of us kids individually with a handshake, autographed each of our picture we had purchased of him and the group, and hung with us for a few long minutes. When he was about to leave, he shook each one of our hands again and said, :Fellows, I will be back here next month and I want you guys to come back and see me." Well, the next month he was back with the Soul Stirrers and naturally we hung around until he came out of his dressing room. The first thing he said was, "I told you guys I would be back." Can you imagine how proud and important we felt because he remembered us kids! Two members of my teenage group came down from New York about ten years ago to visit me in Virginia, and we reminisced about meeting Sam and how charismatic he was with us. He made us feel so good and he became our Gospel role model. When he was killed December 11th,1964 we felt as if we had lost a big brother. My kids grew up listening to Sam and we still have so many pictures of him in our home. People have asked, "Were you related to Sam?' because of all the pictures. He lives on in our hearts. Gone much too soon (1931-1964), but never forgotten.

He was introduced to me thru his music in 1955 by my youngest aunt. She played his songs day and night, he would wreck a church or whatever venue he and the Soul Stirrers sang at. They were coming to a city near us and they hung his posters high to keep fans from taking them down. That didn't my aunt, she waited until everyone was in bed, woke me, got a ladder , took me with her , held the ladder as I went up and took the poster down, she still had that poster in 2010.

I'm always going to the old tones because it had more power of the Holy Ghost filled in it. Today no love for the Lord this is what missing. Glad we can relate back to these songs. It's not about the person but about the Lord to whom they were relating to, having a personal relationship with. Those who are with me can say today that they haven't turned to nothing else. Because it's the Holy Word that keeps us grounded in the Lord. 💞🕊️👑⚓🗝️🚪💪🤔 Amen
