What is your favourite song by Sam Cooke?

[@rafigamma07]

Wonderful World

[@ocahaok5040]

Another Saturday night

[@mynameisT853]

His rendition of Swing Low Sweet Chariot I'm Just A Lucky So and So A Change Is Gonna Come

[@xbubblehead]

His cover of "Unchained Melody"...so much better than the Righteous Brothers because it's simple and seems heartfelt, and his voice!

My favorite scene from this movie. All four men did an excellent job in this film.

[@RedboneBonered]

The ending of this movie made me cry so hard. Because you understand every word he’s singing in that song.

[@leonelcardozo1703]

Como se llama la pelicula?

[@dominiquejones3805]

Both Sam & Malcolm would be leaving soon

I loved that scene. It reminds me of how much power we actually have inside of ourselves.

[@lpeoples1868]

Every actor made me proud of this short film. It should have been longer. I must say everything Regina King touches is gold.

It’s a full length movie called one night in Miami

[@Daize504]

It was a movie

[@MsLindseya]

short film? this is a feature film

[@IsaacAbunu]

Lesile Odom acting and voice are like magic, your just asking how he does it all at the same time to that magnitude.

[@mrkhan]

Dunno what it was but this scene made me instantly start balling. Something about one person's voice moving an auditorium to action - symbolic of what the dialog around this scene is about. To see what they're talking about visualized on the screen was just such a beautiful and moving moment. Phenomenal film, exceptionally beautiful scene.

[@billgill6722]

Sam Cookie's was unjustly murdered nearly 60years ago, and still no movie of his life. He is the King of Soul. The Man who invented Soul. I understand it would be nearly impossible to cast someone with his exact sound but they could 👄 sync. More than his music his life story must be told. He was truly a iconic figure. 💯

[@golfboy488]

TRULY.

[@tms9995]

You tell em Gill!

[@jardejacobs5006]

They should all be nominated!!!

[@ldmax]

The acting was impeccable. Four of the greatest performances I've ever seen and I had never heard of any of them.

Chills

[@DavidRichardson95]

The highlight of the entire movie. SC knew what to do when they was messing with the equipment. I'm making a case that Leslie sweep all of the Best Supporting Actor categories in the coming months. And SC is more deserving of a standalone biopic, just bring Leslie back.

[@skywalk78none94]

I need a stand-alone film 🎥 of SC

[@kaytubes9201]

そうですね！

[@JamieModelvsDirector]

Yes

[@K4PO]

The fact that they got Jeremy Pope in this movie says that they went all out with casting. He's a Superstar in the making.

[@ewandillon1524]

And he sang Jackie Wilson so well. He should star in a Jackie Wilson Biopic called “Lonely Teardrops” or “To Be Loved”.

[@orlandofl6297]

You ain't lying. He will be a STAR.

[@melirose89]

He’s incredible! I was so surprised and happy to see him!

[@cynthiagordon2088]

The beauty of this is,, we know each person individually. We're aware of the magnificent presence. The accomplishments, even though. So our imaginations journey along with them because we're still sharing the same victories as we continue to struggle.

[@jamaylarenea]

this was such an amazing movie🥺🤎✊🏾

[@804smiles]

Beautiful movie man & this scene was the best of the movie

[@deethegeneralNAT]

Dude was trying to sabotage him and instead he wound up making him a legend right there on the spot! If something is meant to be great, nothing can get in the way of that! He turned the crowd into his band!

[@adrienneflowersscott9290]

I heard that Jackie used to do that to other artists. A lot of artists back then used to sabotage other artists. Smh. But like you said Sam became a legend so it didn’t matter. 🥰

[@ezekielduncan2261]

first off...homie played Brother Malcom to the T

[@adrienneflowersscott9290]

Yes he did

[@intercat4907]

Jackie Wilson didn't do that. The writer, Kemp Powers, made it up and says he did it to "give an idea" of Jackie Wilson's practical jokes.

[@SammysmSoulGlow]

No he didn't. And Sam's band, especially Clifton White would never leave him on the stage by himself.

[@denean8093]
