Potent tune of the times. Now, why do I follow you lads? There's something mystic there. You choose to react to a request by Sam Cooke. This may blow your mind, but the first house I owned in Los Angeles, one previous owner (who I never met, living in a different neighborhood) was Sam Cooke. And you've hit another gold mine here. He had many hits, and several classics.

[@sharondavid-melly1498]

One of the most beautiful songs l ever heard. Sam Cooke's voice pierced our souls. Change is gonna come.☮️✌️🇺🇸

[@josweetlove1537]

Sam Cooke's voice brings to mind the slave experience of our people. The torment, the horror, the fear of the unknown, the ships, the journey, the destruction of a people & culture. These voices come out of the black experience. God gave Sam Cooke and others like him this gift, lots was taken but much was given.

[@SeductiveGemini84]

This means a lot to my people aka culture.. When been waiting for a change and more.. This hit us on a different level..

[@grahamboffey457]

Sam Cooke was an innovator, song writer of brilliance, and what a voice.

[@gogiggs6416]

When Sam hit's that "Loooooord " is one of the greatest vocal recordings ever. Loved how you guys saw it in the moment and went back to hear it again. The most beautiful song by the most beautiful man with the most beautiful voice.

[@jellybathwater]

Sam Cooke, beside Otis Redding and Marvin Gaye, has the most transcendent voice there ever was

[@Kish-wm8tu]

The fact that the song is still just as relevant today as it was when he made it just shows you how far we have not come. And all those people saying that is so different are the reason we can’t move forward for real. You can’t change if you see nothing wrong.

[@Marcus-Oh-really-yes]

This powerful song was released in 1964, 10 months before Sam Cooke was shot and killed that same year. In addition to this soulful civil rights anthem, he was known as quite the handsome crooner and had many romantic and fun pop and R&B hits in the late 1950s to mid-1960s, such as "You Send Me," "Another Saturday Night" and "Cupid."

[@helgar791]

Sam's great song quickly became part of the civil rights movement here in America.. What's to say about Sam? Everyone that sings popular music today stole some of his phrasing, cadences, or harmonies. That makes him the most influential singer of the R&R generation. He was the first "Soul Singer", and was the first African-American to own the publishing rights to his songs.

[@colleenmahony8803]

I adore you guys. This song is so fucking awesome in so many ways. Love the use of the old civil rights anthem interspersed with modern civil rights fights. True story: my biracial daughter was so excited when marriage equality became law and she said, "I don't understand why they made it illegal in the first place." I said, "Honey, 40 years ago, your daddy and me couldn't legally make a baby like you." She looked at me like I had two heads. It's been a long time comin...

[@ultramiddle4991]

Sam Cooke was Steve Perry’s idol. Steve Perry patterned his style after this singer

[@kismkasm3178]

Nah -- really? Well Steve hitched his vocal wagon to a star, didn’t he.

[@jadams34]

Interesting ... I hear that thank you... I hear the similarity...

[@orlandoprouty7962]

One of the Greatest Voices to ever walk the Earth!!!!!!

[@SlimDaddy9]

The imagery is from the Civil Rights Movement of the 60's. The song and the imagery speaks to the struggles of Black people for the rights and dignity that they've suffered, lynched, maimed, castrated, split and violated for. Our rights are constantly in question by others and by our government. You would probably cry to learn of all of truly evil things that were done to my ancestors. For example, George Washington was rumored to have wooden teeth. In truth, he had wooden dentures made of real teeth that were ripped out of the heads of his slaves. This song hints at the pain and horror of Africans/African-Americans people in America.

[@anthonymoore3403]

They used this song in a lot of civil rights movies.

[@catherineking6898]

one of the best songs of all time great reaction

[@dionerueti4526]

Nice reaction brothers 💯 he was Muhammed Ali's favourite singer!!

Great song. Glad you found Sam. Hope you can check out Otis Redding. That’s How Strong my love is orTry A little Tenderness. You’ll be glad you did.

[@cyndijones1534]

This was written back during the civil Rights movement

[@maureentavares6488]

I lived it back in the mid sixties, I was stationed In Mississippi while in the military before I was shipped off to war. I am from the north part of the U.S. and didn't experience any type of segregation. I was shocked to see the way the south was. I had lots of black friends in the military and was looked down upon because of it. I would go to the black community a lot of nights and hang out with my friends, which was frowned upon ;. A lot of the men thought I was spanish or mexican so they figured I fit in. The fact was I was Portugues! Lol!! It was quite a life experience. God bless you guys!

[@lrein077]

UK brothers. this reaction video reveled a great human side of you both. Initially I thought both of you were goof heads. You've got my respect. Great job!

[@dixiereinhardt3949]

This was an anthem for the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. That's what all those pictures were about.

[@lovemymusic5627]

Sam Cooke was shot 3 times in the chest and left dead on the floor and no one knows why Dec.11th 1964 in Las Angelas

[@ronwood1220]

It is a well known story but still worth mentioning, Sam was inspired by Bob Dylan's "Blowing in the Wind" to write a song that embodied the American Civil Rights movement. It is so powerful that it has been adopted around the world as a human rights anthem.

[@melaniewilliams6740]

One of my favorite songs of all time. He lived in a time (in America) that's an even worse time than now- a severely socially racist period... Sam Cooke is exactly right

[@pockynon]

One of the best songs ever written.

[@glennmcallister2509]

Soul man Sam. Don’t need therapy I listen to the music of Sam Cooke

A change is gonna come by Sam Cooke will remain reverent until Christ's return.

[@jimfrederick3907]

I grew up when his song "Chain Gang" totally dominated the airwaves.

[@pockynon]

This song and Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On” are brilliant.

[@ForestFairywales]

Omg, one of my favourite ever songs! Thanks for the reaction! Xx

[@roseunderwood6298]

Dr Martin Luther King was my father-in-law first cousin. I pass that information on to the young people in my family.🌹 My father -in law was a master sergeant in the army. He was blessed to create useful things that the army used. Yet, He was not given created for several of his inventions because his white superior took credit for it and got advancement for it. I was amazed that my father-in-law didn't allow it to make him bitter. For the inventions that were not stolen, He had his papers from the military showing him to be the inventor. Plus, another thing I want to share is that "Blair Underwood" is my father-in-law 's second cousin. I know My ancestral history during slavery and post slavery. My great grandchildren have original things they can report on during black history month! Peace out.🌹

[@ishpadful]

Sam Cooke normally didn't do songs like this! He was doing CHAIN GANG, BRING YOUR LOVING ON HOME TO ME, SATURDAY NIGHT etc. But, he saw the injustice, just as Muhammad Ali did and how things were in the 50's, 60's for blacks in America! That's Sam Cooke with Ali in that pic. He was on his way to becoming a legend! He would've been the first black music mogul, before Motown's Gordy, even. That's part of the reason he moved out to L.A., trying to lay down connections with important ppl in the industry. But, unfortunately, he was murdered b4 he could realize his dream!

[@joyparry9354]

Loved hearing your reaction to this song, which I have loved since I first heard it. Sam Cooke is - to me - an absolute legend ..... would love to hear your reactions to "Another Saturday Night" or "Cupid" by Sam .... complete contrast to this!!

[@michaelplotino7046]

Hi guys, This is one of my favorite songs and videos by Sam Cooke and your reaction was beautiful... made me very emotional. I wish i could give you 10 thumbs up... keep up the good work!!! Sincerely, Brooklyn Mike

[@helenmarshall7785]

One of the best songs, still relevant today. Sam had an amazing voice and love his songs especially You Send Me, Wonderful World & Chain Gang. Also love Only Sixteen (Dr Hook did a great cover). Check their A Little Bit More, Sexy Eyes & Sharing The Night Together out.

[@LaptopLarry330]

Sam Cooke started out singing with a Gospel group in the early-1950s, then began singing Rock, Pop, Soul, and Folk songs starting in the late 1950s. He continued to record and perform on tours, and on television, until he was murdered in 1964. I would like to see the both of you react to a concert performance of Sam Cooke, singing "Bring It On Home To Me". He sang it at a concert that took place at the Harlem Square Club, in Miami, Florida, in 1963. RCA Records had shelved the concert for 20 years, until they released it on CD in the early-1980s. It, and the concert, was the greatest performance of Sam Cooke's career. Here is the link to the concert performance of "Bring It On Home To Me": kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJyvi5Kmi9yIac0

[@jpump]

Literally have no idea what either of you are saying but this song is a classic +1

[@celinhabr1]

Sam Cooke was one of the best. Try to react to more of his songs.

[@pockynon]

This when you had to have real talent - no auto tone, no studio hi-jinks. Sam Cooke was shot shortly after releasing this song in a very suspicious shooting in LA.

[@ericsingletary634]

He sensed he was singing his swan song...gunned down at 27 years old.......

[@roseunderwood6298]

You're looking at the March during the Civil Rights movement! Dr Martin Luther King.🌹 Sam Cooke's song was very appropriate!🌹

[@bridgetlaw1484]

Netflixs has a great documentary on Sam Cooke . On December 11, 1964, at the age of 33, Cooke was shot and killed by Bertha Franklin, the manager of the Hacienda Motel in Los Angeles, California. After an inquest and investigation carried out by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), the courts ruled Cooke's death to be a justifiable homicide. Since that time, the circumstances of his death have been called into question by Cooke's family.

[@ManicReactions]

Bridget Law - Thanks for the recommendation! That was an awesome documentary!!! Poor Sam. Sounds like the mob that ran or at least skimmed the record companies put a hit on Cooke knowing the no one would conduct a legitimate investigation into the death of just another black man. This was only months after the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that was widely despised by southern boll weevil Democrats, amongst others. The bill was first proposed by JFK in 1963. The senate democrats maintained a 75-day filibuster that was broken by the greatest Senate Majority Leader in US history, then President Lyndon Baines Johnson. He twisted 67 arms to end debate on the bill, allowing a vote. The senate passed the bill 73-27.

It began withchange in the laws in 2004. Previous to that, a police officer couldn’t fire on a suspect unless he/she saw that a threat was being made upon their life - Lord knows, there were a lot of famous and less famous exceptions hiding behind the “blue line.” After 2004, if a police officer “felt” as though their life was in danger, they could shoot. This was a broad standard. People of color were being shot for some of the most bizarre explanations. I had a black nephew in the family by marriage. Great guy. We were talking one night about how so many unarmed blacks were being shot by the police. I told him I thought the advent of the smartphone was the difference. Before the Vietnam war, serving in wars was all medals and glory and sacrifice. Then the news cameras were showing the true horrors of war every night on the news. It led to the Vietnam anti-war movement. Likewise, I thought the same thing was happening for “suspects” of color. It had been happening all along. We were just seeing it on camera for the first time. Even then, the district attorneys won’t prosecute with vigor because they’re so close to the police. In virtually all cases, the police officer merely loses their job. Often, they resume working somewhere else. There are a few rare exceptions where policemen are indicted on proper charges and nailed to the wall for what was caught on camera. If the family of the dead man/woman/child has a competent trial attorney, there’s always a seven-figure civil settlementi to be had with the city/town for wrongful death because the standard of proof is so much lower in civil cases and the city/town officials don’t want a drawn out public relations disaster. It’s a mad mad system, and this is but one side of it.
