Sam Cooke, cantante de soul y gospel nacido en Mississippi el 22 de enero de 1931. Está considerado uno de los pioneros de la música soul, siendo una de las grandes influencias del pop, el rhythm and blues y el neo soul.
Para algunos está considerado como «Rey del Soul» (título que comparte con Otis Redding), y con el paso del tiempo el hecho de que tuviera casi la treintena de hits entre 1957 y 1965 ha hecho a muchos pensar que realmente es uno de los padres del soul.

Here's one of Sam's songs, covered really well by Cat Stevens:
Another Saturday Night
Sam Cooke
CHORUS FBb Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody, FC I got some money cause I just got paid, FBb Oh, how I wish I had someone to talk to, FCF I'm in an awful way.
VERSE FBb I got in town a month ago, F7C7 And I seen a lot 'o girls since then, FF7 If I could meet 'em, I could get 'em, C7F But as yet I haven't met 'em, FCFC7 That's how I'm in the state I'm in.
CHORUS
VERSE
Another fella told me,
He had a sister who looked just fine,
Instead of bein' my deliverance,
She had a strange resemblance,
To a cat name of Frankenstein, Oh No-oh!
INSTRUMENTAL (Based on CHORUS)
VERSE
It's hard on a fella,
When he don't know his way around,
If I don't find me a honey,
To help me spend my money,
I'm gonna have to blow this town.
CHORUS (repeat) fade -- "You need the dark to see the stars."
