He felt he wasn't doing enough through his music, there were people such as Bob Dylan, Joan Bias, and many other white singers who were singing about the oppression he and his people were experiencing but the people around him were telling black singers not to touch social conscious music, yet he was working on music to reflect what he was feeling. After the moment he, Cashus Clay, Malcolm X, and Jim Brown had what's now that famous conversation in the movie Regina King just directed recently. That spark him to finally do something about how he was feeling through his music publicly and not just writing about it privately. You should watch the various documentaries about him; especially The Two Killings of Sam Cooke...will blow your mind. Great details about his life and his music.

From what I remember, this was done in response to Bob Dylan’s “Blowing in the Wind.” Sam Cooke liked the song so much that he performed it himself. He felt that an African American artist should have done a song like “Blowing in the Wind,” and “A Change is Going to Come” was his contribution to the conversation.

Thank you so much, James, for your great reaction to this classic. I am an officer of the Sam Cooke Fan Club and have been actively involved in the group for over 16 years now. I also am the administrator of the Sam Cooke Fan Club page on FB and I am going to share a link to your video on our page because I know many of our members would really enjoy and appreciate your honest reaction. Several books have been written on the life of Sam Cooke. His musical career started in the church and he obtained his first fame through singing in two gospel groups in the early 1950's. First one was the Highway QC's; the next one was the Soul Stirrers, which was perhaps the best known gospel group at that time. Sam replaced the lead singer, RH Harris, and he toured and recorded with the Stirrers for several years before he "Crossed Over" from gospel to secular music and began his career as a solo pop artist. His hit records are too numerous to list here, but I suggest you take a listen to some of the following: "You Send Me" (his first solo pop which went all the way to #1 in 1957), "Wonderful World," "Chain Gang" (one of my favorites), "Cupid," "Bring It On Home To Me," "Another Saturday Night," and "Shake." You wanted to know the background story to this song, so here you go: In the fall of 1963, Sam was on tour in the South. On October 7, 1963, he arrived in Shreveport, LA for a show the next night. He and his party had previously made reservations by telephone at the local Holiday Inn. When he arrived at the motel, the front desk clerk took one look at him and said there were no rooms available. Sam made a stink about it and the party eventually left in their cars to go to another hotel, honking the car horn on the way out of the parking lot. (Some people claim the car horn went off accidentally due to a mechanical issue, but family members confided in me that it was an intentional act on Sam's part.) By the time Sam reached the "black hotel" in Shreveport, the police arrived and arrested him and all the members of his party (including his wife) for disturbing the peace. He bailed out of jail and performed at the show the next night, but the experience left a deep impression on him. Remember also that the March on Washington had taken place on August 28, 1963 and the Birmingham church bombing which killed four little girls occurred on Sunday, September 15, 1963. So race relations and civil rights were pressing issues in the country and all these events were fresh in his mind. Sam wrote "Change" over the next few weeks and he recorded it in the studio on Thursday, January 30, 1964. He only performed the song publicly on one occasion, and that was on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson on Friday, February 7, 1964 (which also happened to be the same day that The Beatles first arrived in New York City). Strangely, no one seems to have a tape of this performance. The first song Sam performed that night, "Basin Street Blues," does exist on film which makes this seem even more curious. I believe that the film of this performance will be found one day, perhaps in someone's garage. "Change" is the one and only song of this type that Sam ever wrote. He had been inspired by Bob Dylan, (a white folk singer) who wrote and recorded "Blowin' In The Wind," another song you should give a listen to. Sam performed this song on several occasions. Sam had commented to friends at the time that it was the type of song a black man should have written, which I'm sure also gave him motivation and inspiration to write "Change." Long post here but you wanted the background story on the song. It has been covered hundreds of times but there will never be anything close to the original. I could tell from your reaction that you felt this as well. I look forward to hearing other reactions you make of Sam's other hit records. Take care. Don Piper Secretary, Sam Cooke Fan Club

Album sleeve note?] but it certainly is a memorable quote,in view of inspiring Him to write "CHANGE.Another memory,where He recorded a song,using an assumed name, DALE?

Sam’s death was one of the worst losses to music ever. He wrote his own songs. He was more of a 50s style artist who, with this song, was transitioning to be influenced by the 60s. It’s mind boggling to imagine how further blossoming of his soul music would have evolved into the 60s, 70s or even 80s!! If anyone was the black Elvis, it was Sam! But Elvis couldn’t write music. This was inspired by the march on Washington

For sure, but Elvis wasn’t just one style but a combo. He had was the embodiment of both worlds black & white. He had the flare of expression and the grace of soulfulness. He was a combo of Dean Martin & James Brown. Sam was similar in that way, pure showman and had a great mind for the business. He was looking beyond his own voice, he was creating a path for his own legacy similar to that of Berry Gordy of Motown. Elvis had a simpler plan, he just loved to perform & sing, had the Colonel running things to a point, sad he didn’t take more control of his legacy, even though he did pretty good. What’s comes to my mind is the tragedy of these amazing entertainers taken before they’re time.

I'm so very thankful I have music in my world!!! I know that makes me a better person!!! I am a freedom fighter...ALL lives matter, person!!! I really do want WORLD PEACE!!! We have been so blessed to have so many AMAZING ARTISTS in our lives to help spread that message of peace ✌ and love!!! More RESPECT, LOVE, AND COMPASSION TO ALL!!! Give a listen to Sam's version of Unchained Melody!!! TALENTED MAN!!! I totally agree with so many of the other suggestions!!! However.....I don't think Sam ever sang a song that wasn't good!!! He was so very musically talented, charming, civic minded, business savvy, freedom fighter.....and those traits threaten people!!! So very sad we can't live without tearing down that which is different!!!! I LOVED reading all of your insightful, informative, powerful comments!!! Thank you!!! LET'S BE THE CHANGE SAM WANTED!!!

I'm a child of the 50s and 60's.. this song still gives me that special feeling ..I truly get it.. like the old disc jockeys said. The best Cooke in Town.. we sadly missed out on his true potential but this song truly will grip you!

The original version, the contrast of stunning soul vocals plus the subtlety of the strings and horns compliment so well, and together with a song this good, its powerful stuff

Boogied in my crib to this beautiful voice. My mom went into mourning when he died. Much love from fiery Washington State

Proud of you for doing this and checking into it. Sam has got soooooooo many greats. Maybe the best in music history and would have been a leading voice of the civil rights movement if we had not lost him.

Cooke did a lot of gospel recordings, and that's where his voice really shines, because he was allowed to really cut loose on those. He's great no matter what, but check those out, as well.

Liston to Donny Hathaway’s “Someday We Will All Be Free” also a cry for racial equality written in the early 70s.

ThIs came out when I was a teenager, and it STILL touches me down to my soul. He was an amazing artist in his time; died very tragically.

It’s not just you friend, everyone feels it when they hear this song. Alas Sam never lived to see how much an affect his song would have on the world.

I was 10 years old when this song came out. It was the 60's and definitely a song about the treatment of blacks. I love this song and cry every time I hear it. POWERFUL. Love yourchannel
