Sam Cooke died on this day, murdered on December 11th 1964. Again, related.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jkOJpZI9HMSam Cooke songs have been sung by the Rolling Stones, Rod Stewart, Cat Stevens.
What's interesting is "Only Sixteen" was also written by Herb Alpert (TJ Brass) and Lou Adler
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Only_SixteenSo, since Sam Cooke is called one of the progenitors of Soul, one of the pioneers, I thought I'd add that in.
