He might want to stay away from Sam Cooke up there for a bit though ;) :).

Sad news.
Yes, many of his songs had a lot of social commentary, that even fits today.

Post by: Melkor on June 29, 2014, 11:34:14 AM: The man was a true musical genius.

Sad to see how under appreciated he was considering the media hype surrounding the deaths of lesser musicians of his genre like Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston.

Probably the best voice in soul and R&B music but what set him apart from others in those genres was his ability as a songwriter, lyricist and composer. He was also a very capable guitarist in his own right.
