Samuel Cook (January 22, 1931 – December 11, 1964), known professionally as Sam Cooke, was an American singer, songwriter, and entrepreneur.
Influential as both a singer and composer, he is commonly known as the King of Soul for his distinctive vocals and importance within popular music. His pioneering contributions to soul music contributed to the rise of Aretha Franklin, Bobby Womack, Al Green, Curtis Mayfield, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and Billy Preston, and popularized the likes of Otis Redding and James Brown.AllMusic biographer Bruce Eder wrote that Cooke was "the inventor of soul music", and possessed "an incredible natural singing voice and a smooth, effortless delivery that has never been surpassed".
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. He founded both a record label and a publishing company as an extension of his careers as a singer and composer. He also took an active part in the civil rights movement.
Sam Cooke (born 19 November 1985) is an English glamour model and Page 3 girl from Manchester. Cooke has appeared in numerous British "lads' mags", including FHM, FRONT, Maxim, Loaded, Zoo and Nuts in the UK, as well as on several covers around the world.
She is most famous for being a Page 3 girl in The Sun, and was the winner of the newspaper's annual Page 3 Idol competition in 2006. Cooke has also appeared in the Hot Shots Calendar.
Cooke has spent time as a house and dance DJ, and has appeared in clubs around the world, including Egypt, Malaysia and Ibiza. She also worked extensively with the UK dance label Hed Kandi.
Sam Cooke, better known as Songs by Sam Cooke (as shown on the back cover), is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Sam Cooke. The backing band is the Bumps Blackwell Orchestra.

Grandfather's Clock is a solitaire game using a deck of 52 playing cards. Its foundation is akin to Clock Solitaire; but while winning the latter depends on the luck of the draw, this game has a strategic side.
Before the game begins, the following cards are taken out of the deck: 2♥, 3♠, 4♦, 5♣, 6♥, 7♠, 8♦, 9♣, 10♥, J♠, Q♦, and K♣. They are then arranged in a circular fashion like a clock face with the 2♥ on the "five o' clock" position, 3♠ on the "six o' clock" position, and so on. These cards will be the foundations. The remaining cards are then shuffled and dealt into eight columns of five cards each on the tableau.
The object of the game is to distribute the cards to the foundations to point that the top cards of the foundations show the correct numbers on the clock face. (A queen is equal to twelve, a jack eleven.)
Each foundation should be built up by suit until the card with the correct corresponding number on the clock face is placed. The cards on the tableau on the other hand are built down regardless of suit. The top cards of each column are the only ones available for play. Only one card can be played at a time and any space that occurs is filled with any available card.
Burt Gillet's Toddle Tales is a theatrical cartoon series which lasted from June 29, 1934 to September 7, 1934, and was made by the Van Beuren Studios.
Burt Gillet's Toddle Tales was a half animated, half live action film series from Van Beuren Studios. There were only 3 episodes released from the series, Grandfather's Clock, Along Came A Duck, and A Little Bird Told Me.
Grandfather's Clock is the 1st episode, which was theatrically aired on June 29, 1934. A little girl and her younger brother meet a grandfather clock who introduces them to clock children and show them what they do.
Along Came A Duck was the 2nd episode, and was theatrically released on August 10, 1934. A little boy (live action) chases a poor duck to the pond where he runs into an animated croaking and singing bullfrog. Then the bullfrog tells the little boy the story of how he and the duck met years ago.
A Little Bird Told Me is the 3rd episode, which was theatrically released on September 7, 1934. Little bird reporters and photographers led by "Walter Finchell" published the story of the real life boy that had his hands in the jam in the newspaper which was printed on leaves.
"My Grandfather's Clock" is a song written in 1876 by Henry Clay Work, the author of "Marching Through Georgia". It is a standard of British brass bands and colliery bands, and is also popular in bluegrass music. It has also been sung by male choruses such as the Robert Shaw Chorale.
The song, told from a grandson's point of view, is about his grandfather's grandfather clock.
The clock is purchased on the morning of his grandfather's birth and works perfectly for ninety years, requiring only that it be wound at the end of each week.
The clock rings 24 chimes when the grandfather brings his bride into his house; and before the grandfather dies, it rings an eerie alarm; the family recognizes that the grandfather is near death and gathers by his bed. After 90 years, when the grandfather dies, the clock suddenly stops, and never works again.
The Oxford English Dictionary says that the song is responsible for the fact that a longcase clock is also called a "grandfather clock".
Sam Cooke (5 November 1883 – 23 May 1966) was a former Australian rules footballer who played with Richmond in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
"A Change Is Gonna Come” by Sam Cooke Lyrics: I was born by the river in a little tent Oh, and just like the river I’ve been a-runnin’ ever since. It’s been a long, a long time comin’, but I know, oh-oo-oh, a change gon’ come, oh yes, it will.

Then I go, oh-oo-oh, to my brother and I say, brother, help me please. But he winds up knocking me back down on my knees, oh. There’ve been times that I thought I couldn’t last...

I know why I waited
know why I've been blue
I've been praying for someone, baby
exactly like you
why should we spend money, on a show or two
while no one does those love scenes, baby
exactly like you
you make me feel so grand
I wanna give this world to you
you seem to understand
each foolish little dream I'm dreaming
and the schemes I'm scheming
now I know why mother taught me to be true
she meant me for someone, baby
exactly like you
