[@Cookefan59]

Wow. I am very impressed with anyone with enough guts to cover any aspect of this story. There seems to be a lot of new interest in Sam Cooke and the complicated life he lead that obviously included Bobby Womack. I have been consulted on two books including his nephew Erik Greene work “Our Uncle Sam” and also on the Netflix documentary. I’ve met with many of Sams old business and personal friends and even the legendary Zelda Sands. I’ll just say this: Bobby Womack and many others worshipped and idolized Sam Cooke. He was still just a boy legally when he was seduced by Barbara Cooke (BTW did you know she had a twin sister?) Therefore, Bobby could be considered a sexual victim. Barbara saw several men while Sam had multiple women. It is true they had an open marriage. Very near the time of his murder/assassination, Sam Cooke records were outselling Elvis Presley. That’s right! Outselling Elvis. He was the hottest thing in the music industry but he was also very very conscious. He had recently discovered that his manager, the late Allen Klein (yes the manager of the Beatles and Rolling Stones, another great agent cheats artist story) had legally maneuvered Sam into a position where he was actually an employee of Klein and that Klein was cheating him out of large sums of money. Sam had confided in friends that he was about to fire Klein. He was also about to divorce Barbara. This was actually not a huge secret. After Sam was murdered, Barbara sold his entire catalog to Klein for a paltry $100k. She married Bobby after his parents REFUSED to sign any consent. They actually had to wait for his birthday to come up before carrying this deed out. The incident at the hotel where Bobby was beaten is all true. Barbara did not drown her son Vincent Cooke. He fell into the family pool and drowned while she was allegedly on the phone, drunk, with her boyfriend. Little Vincent was the main grip she had on Same Cooke. He was another innocent victim. Sam does have one other living son but he lives in seclusion. Guess why? I can say with absolute certainty that the official version of Sam Cooke’s death is completely fabricated. There are many theories and versions. There were people checked into the hotel and people in that neighborhood of Cienega Blvd who know the truth but are afraid to speak out. The mob was involved and for many reasons. Sam Cooke’s murder was a message to other Black entertainers and entertainment in general. Sam had a lot of enemies in the music business and definitely in the music business unions. My own investigation was stopped dead cold about 20 years ago when I requested the crime scene photos and was told that they had been destroyed. That was a lie. If you want to know the extent of the lie behind the official version, you will find it in the pictures of the morticians struggling to make his corpse look presentable. Part of the problem was that Sam was in the morgue for at least 2 days as a John Doe. Things happen to a dead body that disfigure it even while in the freezer. First, they have to be thawed out. But anyway, the highest resolution crime scene photos tell the story. Sam is naked except for a Black Jacket and he is leaning up against the wall. His head dropped forward and most telling, Blood is seen still dripping from his mouth. The story that a elderly woman beat him that bad and then shooting him is ludicrous. Eye witnesses at his funeral confirmed that his hands told a story of a man who was fighting for his life or had been tortured or worse just beaten to death. The body did not match a story of a healthy virile 32 year old vs a elderly hotel clerk. I was able to review the autopsy of Sam Cooke. He was executed mob style and then decorated as a sign to others that they meant business. The hooker was known to “Roll” her clientele and Sam already knew her. She was bait to get him out of the club they were in and into a compromised position that was witnessed by many. She later served time in prison for shooting her boyfriend and was tracked down about 2 years ago by the group from Netflix. They interviewed her but refuse to put it out in the public. I was told she lives in Hawaii but is too senile to give any real good information. Anyway, I could go on and on and on. I have been involved with this case for over 20 years. I always love to see young people discussing this even if there is a great deal of speculation. Sam Cooke’s story will one day be told in truth. But as long as the Klein family owns the rights to his music and song catalog we will not know the truth. This has been very cathartic for myself. Thank you for your post and the interesting accompanying music. God Bless and take Care.

What a disgusting tale. The man seemed obsessed with Sam Cooke's life, how pathetic and fatal for him. He was so busy looking into someone else's basket that he couldn’t see the gifts that had been bestowed on him. Having sex with a non-consenting minor is wrong. It's obvious that the daughter sought revenge by choosing his brother as a mate, but thank goodness that it worked out for her. I feel so sorry for the daughter of Sam Cooke who lost so much. Bless you for sharing this story. I am a huge Sam Cooke fan and never understood why the name Bobby Womack bothered me so much until now, I must have felt it in my bones. You have to be pretty dirty to show up to someone's funeral wearing their clothes and escorting Sam's wife. His behavior was sick and demented.

Was Bobby Womack a suspect? If not maybe he should’ve been.

[@sarrhodes8277]

It's beyond the pale to behave like that - and you couldn't if you truly loved the person you were supposed to be mourning. But my impression of BW was that he was driven and erratic and would do his own thing no matter what - and what I read about Barbara wasn't great either; perhaps, being older and more worldly, she led him. Did Sam really want her in his life or was it really for his daughter that he married her? That was the impression I was left with. Linda looks so happy and exuberant with Cecil; I listen to their songs and feel I can read their love story through them and how they had to be secretive in order to begin their relationship. But honestly Barbara doesn't come out of the saga any better than Bobby. Still, it's also fair to say that you can never truly know what's going on in the lives of others.

Many Celebrities Autopsies have been done on that show and that doctor that does those autopsies on the show will definitely get to the bottom of Mr. Sam Cooke's death and Revealed the truth ‼‼💯. But unfortunately that mIght not never happen because there's some people out here in this world that really knows the truth and what happened and will go to extreme measures to make sure that never happens. But I pray that the truth is revealed so that Mr. Sam Cooke's Immediate family can finally have some closure to what really happened to him 🙏🏿🙏🏿💯. God Bless🙏🏿🙏🏿💯.

You might be on to something. I feel like there was DEFINITELY some type of jealousy that Bobby Womack must have had for Sam. Glad that I could share at least one new part with you. Thank you so much for watching and commenting, Juanita Dale Slusher!

[@deloresking8620]

Bobby Womack was a star in his own right.A beautiful singer had no reason to be jealous of anyone.Thats what's fuels all the hate and discourse in the world when you are jealous of another person and their gifts, you loose your purpose and reason for being.If you know your purpose you don't have to be jealous of anyone.There is a reason for our existence.If you know what it is you will know your purpose and your reason for being here.

[@elfugginsvision1]

Never really listened to him, but Sammy is a legend. R.I.P Sam Cooke.

[@fayemijumoke]

Same here.

[@valeriebyrd70]

What! Never listened to Sam's music. Boy you don't know what you are missing. Sam's songs will put you in the twilight zone because all his songs are so damm lovely. It will make girls lust after him and men want to be him.

My uncle been a legend rip Bobby Womack

[@jazzmanchgo]

Then, years later, Bobby's brother Cecil married Linda, and the pair became Womack and Womack. Cecil had already been married to Mary Wells, but another Womack brother, Curtis, started having an affair with Mary and broke up that relationship. Those Womack boys were something else!

[@TisHotMessHistory]

That's all pretty much in the video. Yeah. They were something else.

Why wasn't Barbara held accountable too? She knew it was inappropriate, too.

[@lennisefuller5075]

This Beautiful Man is a Legend why hasn't anyone made a movie of his life story 😥❣...Rest in Peace Mr Sam Cook ❣

[@TisHotMessHistory]

I'm not sure why there hasn't been a movie yet. A lot of people in the comments are saying the same thing. Thank you so much for watching and commenting, Lennise Fuller!

[@reginaldwest4155]

@@TisHotMessHistory Too many people like Sam's daughter still alive, this would be embarrassing for them and Sam's jewish mgr. stole sams label and his royalties for a paltry 35k. Sam was slain by the music industry, the industry still don't want that out.

[@Sunshinelady82]

Because he was a man that was about his people. And maybe the industry will not let his story be told since they helped kill him. Sam wanted freedom they wanted to keep him in bondage. He was friends with Ali and Malcolm.

[@imgrateful7142]

I think Barbara was a little more than pissed with Sam (all the cheating) and she married Bobby out of loneliness, spite. Bobby was wrong but I don't think the worst thing he did was marry his friend's ex (yes It's bad) it was sleeping with the daughter.

[@TisHotMessHistory]

I totally agree with you. I'm not saying that Barbara was right, but I think that she wanted revenge for Sam's cheating. If Bobby had only married Barbara, I never would have made this video, but sleeping with the daughter took his actions to all new lows. Thank you so much for watching and commenting, I'm Grateful!

[@brendamarshall5446]

Wow I had heard this story quite some time ago but you added some stuff I had missed,I am just blown away about the daughter😳his life was truly a tale that he sung about in his music!!!

[@TisHotMessHistory]

The part about the daughter blew me away too. That's what made me make the video. Thank you so much for watching and commenting, Brenda Marshall!

[@jeannettelee2806]

If Sam Cooke wasn’t having an affair and being a terrible husband, he would not have been murdered that night. His wife don’t own him anything. Stop honoring ashy man. I do love Sam Cooke the singer, but I don’t respect Sam Cooke the men. People in the back row we need to separate the two.

[@bmcelwain]

This whole thing is so unbelievable that I would not be surprised if it ends up being a Spike Lee or Tyler Perry movie. The one thing that was not covered in the video and I remember seeing on Soul Train was the singing duo, Womack and Womack (Sam's daughter, and one of the Womack brothers performing together) trying to get a singing career started.

[@TisHotMessHistory]

I could definitely see this being part of a movie. I didn't leave out Womack & Womack. This wasn't a documentary on Sam or Bobby - just a retelling of Bobby Womack's dealings with Sam's wife and daughter from Bobby's perspective. But Linda, the daughter mentioned in the story is half of Womack & Womack. Thank you so much for watching and commenting, Bob McElwain!

[@jazzmanchgo]

Bobby didn't write "I Wish He Didn't Trust Me So Much," but most people believe that when he sang it, he was singing it for Sam.

[@TisHotMessHistory]

Bobby Womack did write I Wish He Didn't Trust Me So Much. What source is telling you something different? Who do you believe wrote the song?

[@jazzmanchgo]

@@TisHotMessHistory The writers were Harold Payne, James Eubanks, and Peter Luboff (You can see the credits on the record, although for some reason it doesn't tell whether they're published through BMI or ASCAP). I admit I'm not familiar with any of those names aside from this particular songwriting credit. Maybe they were house songwriters at Womack's label (MCA)?

[@TARAsiNSPIRATION]

Well dam😳! That song has a whole new meaning to me now! "He knows he can trust me with his life. But each he leaves me alone, leaves me alone with his wife...I wish he didn't trust me so much." Wow!

[@TisHotMessHistory]

Exactly, TARA's LOCAL InSPIRATION! Bobby wrote exactly what he lived.

[@cjd4823]

I was all set to leave the first thing that came to my mind as a comment, thinking I knew the whole story already; then you hit with the daughter and him part and I couldn't anymore. Wow, just wow.

[@UnscriptedStu]

What an interesting and tragic story. I only care about Sam Cooke, he was before my time but he was definitely legendary.

[@johngarrett9418]

[@TheOlmonroe1]

The song I Wish He Didn't Trust Me So Much by Bobby Womack could've been written explaining this situation.

[@SpiritualGangstaMsTonya]

Bobby Womack was a disgusting person and I can't believe he was so Insanely jealous of Sam Cooke that he wanted his wife and His daughter trifling...He didn't live right can't Imagine his after life

[@TheKaluha88]

One thing for sure two things for certain, leaving gospel music to do secular music has nothing to do with the other. If something going to happen to you or whoever, believe you me it going to happen regardless. It’s a ton of people who didn’t leave gospel music and that’s heavy in the church who are mean and wicked. People sleeping with other people significant other, pastors sleeping with people wives, people gossiping about each other then smile in your face. See it all the time nothing new. Great video nonetheless. Far as Bobby, the ultimate tragedy for him is losing a child. The child on the Woman’s gotta have it album cover

[@lavelhare3723]

Good point

[@TisHotMessHistory]

I 100% agree with you that leaving gospel music had nothing to do with anything. Thank you so muh for watching and commenting, TheKaluha88!

Me being a child of the 60’s , I remember the old folks sitting around the table playing cards and talking about this. It stands out for me cause of them being so loud and argumentative about it.
