Thanks to Mondibaby for posting this excellent video which was broadcast on AM1070 KNTH in Houston on 4/20/15. Yes, it's true Monday is back again. We have to get back to work. I'm brewing some Maxwell House Dark Roast Coffee and the AM1070 5:20 oldie. The "Chain Gang" was no place to be. Monday morning for many is like being there. Sam Cooke was born in Clarksdale Mississippi, in 1931, but grew up in Chicago, where his father Charles became a minister in the in church. By age nine Sam, with his two sisters, formed a gospel trio, “The Singing Children.” As a teenager, he was a member of the nationally famous Highway Q.C.'s with his younger brother, L.C. It was here that they sang with all the leading gospel groups of the day when they passed through Chicago. Cooke had 30 U.S. top 40 hits between 1957 and 1964, plus three more posthumously. Major hits like "You Send Me", "A Change Is Gonna Come", "Cupid", "Chain Gang", "Wonderful World", and "Twistin' the Night Away" are some of his most popular songs. Cooke was also among the first modern black performers and composers to attend to the business side of his musical career."Chain Gang" was Cooke's second-biggest American hit, his first single for RCA Victor after leaving Keen Records earlier in 1959, and was also his first top 10 hit since "You Send Me" from 1957, and his second-biggest Pop single. The song was inspired after a chance meeting with an actual chain-gang of prisoners on a highway, seen while Sam was on tour. According to legend, Cooke and his brother Charles felt sorry for the men and gave them several cartons of cigarettes. Cooke was reportedly unsatisfied with the initial recording sessions of this song at RCA Studios in New York in January 1960, and came back three months later to redo some of the vocals to get the effect he wanted.On December 11, 1964, at the age of 33, Cooke was fatally shot by Bertha Franklin, the manager of the Hacienda Motel in Los Angeles, California. After an inquest, the courts ruled Cooke's death to be a justifiable homicide. Since that time, the circumstances of his death have been consistently called into question by Cooke's family and his wide circle of friends and acquaintances. Okay, let's get back on the "Chain Gang" with Sam Cooke.
