On this day in 1960 {March 14th} Sam Cooke began his first tour of the West Indies*, his first concert was at Montego Bay, Jamaica...And on that very same day he entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at #100 with "Teenage Sonata"; eventually it would peak at #50 and spent 7 weeks on the Top 100...It reached #22 on Billboard's R&B Singles chart...Between 1957 and 1966 he had forty-three Top 100 records; five made the Top 10 with one reaching #1, "You Send Me" for 3 weeks in 1957...He just missed having a second #1 record when "Chain Gang" peaked at #2 {for 2 weeks} in 1960; and the first week it was at #2, the #1 record was 'My Heart Has a Mind of Its Own" by Connie Francis and for the second week "Mr. Custer" by Larry Verne was in the top spot...And he also just missed having three more Top 10 records when 'Little Red Rooster", "Good News", and "Good Times" all peaked at #11 and strangely enough all three also spent 10 weeks each on the chart...* Before his untimely death on December 11th, 1964 at the young age of 33 he would tour the West Indies two more times...

For me the two main tragic dates for Rock music: one is Feb. 3, 1959 (plane crash of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper) and the other is Dec 10, 1964, the unsolved murder of Sam Cooke in that cheap motel in LA.
