i feel as though i have been referring frequently to this wikipedia article. the basic facts are that sam cooke, that smooth, politically conscious crooner, wearing nothing but a jacket and shoes, was shot in the abdomen in the office of a hotel. he was chasing a woman whom he allegedly attempted to rape. read:

No, no, no. There was much more to the Sam Cooke saga than the "official version" of how he died. Read my book for the inside story:

If you don't want the whole story, at least read the addendum to TruTV's website I felt compelled to contribute once I read the nature of the article:

At any rate, it's time to dispel that fairy tale of how Sam died.
