Podcasts about Sam Cooke

Este es un episodio extra de El Jazzensor. En el anterior episodio repasamos la vida y la música de Sam Cooke, pero dejamos de lado su muerte. En este episodio especial damos cuenta de su triste final. Hemos puesto en practica algunos recursos inéditos hasta ahora y que, para un nuevo proyecto que estamos preparando, queríamos probar. Contamos con dos nuevas voces, MatIA y ZelIA, que serán quienes narrarán la historia. Hemos desarrollado el relato a modo de True Crime, por lo que la musica no es la protagonista. Su papel es crear el ambiente sonoro para la narración. Espero que os resulte de interés, y que resuelva las incógnitas que dejamos en el aire en el episodio anterior.

The great soul singer Sam Cooke was killed on December 11, 1964, and, surprisingly, his tragic early death never seems to be mentioned in the same breath as other early rock and roll luminaries who died young, like Buddy Holly, Otis Redding, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and many others. Perhaps it's because of the brutal and suspicious nature surrounding it. The smooth, joyful soul singer was gunned down in the office of a seedy Los Angeles motel after being robbed by an alleged prostitute. In his latest article for the Strange Brew, Scott G. Shea celebrates the life, music and legacy of Sam Cooke through six songs that tell his story.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Several of the classic hit song's she sings backup on: Sam Cooke's ~ "Chain Gang", Bobby "Boris" Pickett ~ "The Monster Mash" "(You're My) Soul and Inspiration" ~ The Righteous Brothers "Walking In The Rain" ~ The Ronettes The Beach Boys ~ "In My Room" "Poor Side of Town" ~ Johnny Rivers "Rock and Roll Lullaby" ~ B.J.

Darlene Love was just a high school sophomore in Los Angeles when she was discovered out of a gospel choir, and asked to join a burgeoning girl group called The Blossoms, who began recording for Phil Specter. Soon thereafter, other artists like Sam Cooke were attracted to her powerful sound, and sought Darlene on their recordings. With The Blossoms and Bob B. Soxx and the Blue Jeans, Darlene sang lead vocals on some of the greatest music hits of the 60's. The Blossoms landed a weekly spot on the landmark television series SHINDIG & Elvis's 1968 Comeback Special and through the 60's and 70's, Darlene continued to perform with and back-up such diverse artists as The Beach Boys, The Mamas & The Papas, Tom Jones, The Righteous Brothers and Sonny & Cher.

Sam Cooke es el hombre que no solo inventó el soul moderno, sino que escribió el manual de cómo un artista negro podía controlar su propio destino en una industria diseñada para explotarlo. Su fórmula fusionó gospel y R&B en un lenguaje nuevo y accesible al público mainstream blanco, y definió el soul comercial de los 60 sin traicionar sus raíces. Su muerte, el 11 de diciembre de 1964 la dejamos para otra ocasión, porque esta historia es, ante todo, una historia de vida.

Une gueule d'ange, une voix en or et une réussite insolente : c'était Sam Cooke. Avec Ray Charles, l'un des inventeurs de la soul. Né à Clarksdale, Mississippi, en 1931, élevé à Bronzeville, dans le South Side de Chicago, Sam Cooke était le cinquième d'une fratrie de huit enfants. Son père, qui était pasteur, et sa mère, l'avaient toujours encouragé à chanter - à l'église évidemment ! - avec cette voix pure, une diction parfaite, cette musique du langage. “Sam, disait son ami Ray Charles, avait une voix que Dieu lui-même aurait voulu posséder.” Or, comme l'écrira le magazine Ebony à sa mort, dans des circonstances troubles à l'âge de trente-trois ans, la vie de Sam Cooke fut un empilement de contradictions. Pour Qui Sonne le Jazz mêne l'enquête. Hébergé par Ausha. Visitez ausha.co/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.

It feels very fitting that after ten years and speaking to dozens of actors who have played Aaron Burr, the very last one to grace the podcast is Hamilton Broadway's original (inimitable!) Leslie Odom, Jr. We didn't have a long time, but let me tell you... we had a GREAT time. This episode is funny, it's moving, it's layered, it's healing, it's so much of why Leslie Odom, Jr. is such a fascinating person to talk to. He tells me about how his beautiful cover of Tonight, Tonight" by the Smashing Pumpkins came to be, his experience with Purlie Victorious, how much he loved pushing the nerd bar to a ten with Owen Tillerman in Central Park, and how playing the legendary Sam Cooke in One Night in Miami... meant the world to him. Aaron Burr is surrounded by ghosts and Leslie Odom, Jr. is no different because when it comes to his monumental return to Hamilton ten years after his Tony Award winning run originating Aaron Burr, the ghosts are everywhere: from his fellow original cast members to his younger self (omg wait until you get to that part, you're going to lose your mind). Coming back to Hamilton after a decade was his idea and Leslie is bringing ten years of therapy, regret, loss, grief, joy and everything in between to the stage of the Rodgers. Luckily for all of us, Hamilton is a show that can handle whatever he's bringing to the room that day. And even though he's playing Burr with more frustration this time around,  he promises - promises! - that every single night he's trying his very best not to kill Alexander at the end of this thing. From his favorite Burr line to the importance of listening to your soul and why he promises to never, ever waste our time, Leslie Odom, Jr., lays it all out on the table.

Carlton Jumel Smith – Soul Man Vivendo na América em uma época em que muitos no poder são completamente desprovidos dealma, é preciso um Super Soul Man para manter a balança em equilíbrio genuíno! Esse é Carlton Jumel Smith.Soul Man de renome mundial, cantor, compositor, produtor e ator, construiu sua carreira sozinho e incendiou palcos de shows de Finlândia, China, Rússia, Turquia, Inglaterra, França e, claro, sua cidade natal, Nova York. Lexington Avenue", de 2019 é sua obra prima. Teve a honra de interpretar seu maior herói musical, James Brown, no filme "Liberty Heights" (1999), de Barry Levinson, e teve um papel principal ao lado de Cyndi Lauper no musical off-Broadway "Largo" (sobre a vida do compositor clássico tcheco Dvořák). Nasceu em no Spanish Harlem – com três irmãs e sua mãe. Ela quem levou Carlton, aos 8 anos, para assistir a James Brown no lendário Apollo – um local que não era apenas sagrado para Brown, mas também para todos os artistasnegros.  A experiência de ver James Brown, com sua orquestra de 16 músicos, cantores e dançarinos, deixou uma marca indelével em Carlton. Ao mesmo tempo, por meio de discos, sua mãe o apresentou à maestria de Ray Charles, Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Joe Tex, Marvin Gaye, Johnnie Taylor, Al Green, e muitos outros. A profundidade do impacto deles foi tamanha que Carlton tem os nomes tatuados em ambos os braços.Passou os anos 80 aprimorando os vocais com os mentores locais Rick Torres e Greg Fore, experimentando a composição e enviando demos. Uma demo o conectou com a empresária, Yvonne Turner, resultando no single de estreia de Carlton em 1986, uma faixa de House Music apropriadamente intitulada "Excite Me". Após embarcar em um avião para Hollywood para entregar pessoalmente sua fita ao diretor Barry Levinson,  lhe garantiu o papel de um Brown ambicioso da década de 1950 no filme "Liberty Heights", Carlton estreou no B.B. King's Club, na Times Square, em Nova York, em 2002 – inicialmente como substituto de Ray Charles, que estava doente. Isso o levou a anos de shows lotados em New York, onde gravou dois álbuns ao vivo independentes lá: um deles: Carlton J. Smith Live at B.B. King's, de 2003 (com músicas associadas a Ray Charles e James Brown).  O lendário empresário Alan Leeds, que gerenciou as carreiras de Brown e Prince, apelidou carinhosamente Carlton de "Soul Brother Number New".Essa distinção em particular provou ser profética, pois Carlton teve uma grande oportunidade quando uma banda de jazz cancelou sua temporada em um clube na China, o agente ligou freneticamente para o mundo todo em busca de umsubstituto de última hora. Carlton, voou imediatamente e encantou o público asiático ávido por soul autêntico. Um contrato de três meses se transformou em quase uma década de trabalho constante, com seis shows por semana e três por dia, entre 2005 e 2014. Durante esse período, Carlton também gravou mais discos: Primeiro veio Waiting (2006), um projeto composto principalmente por regravações comoventes de obras de uma influência singular: o compositor experimental Tom Waits, que Carlton descreve – assim como Bobby Womack – como um tio que transmite “a verdade nua e crua”. De volta da China em 2014, Carlton lançou G.U.M. (Grown-up Music), direcionando seu foco para um público mais maduro. Em plena ascensão, morou na Turquia, Reino Unido, Suíça, Romênia, Indonésia, Rússia e Noruega. Lançou um livro "Nothing Matters Except the Music", que narra as experiências que teve com Sly Stone, The Isley Brothers, Patti LaBelle e muitos outros.  “Acredito firmemente que uma ótima canção é um beijo de Deus, afinal, na minha equação da alma: “Música + Letra = Sua Vida…”(Scott Galloway, June 2021) 

Both old and new, Austin-based band Black Pumas is centered around guitarist and producer Adrian Quesada and 27-year-old songwriter Eric Burton. Grammy Award-winning Quesada has played in Grupo Fantasma and Brownout, and accompanied artists from Prince to Daniel Johnston. Burton grew up in church and then got heavily involved in musical theater. He arrived in Austin in 2015 after busking his way across the country from Los Angeles, and connected with Quesada on the phone. From idea to session to self-titled debut album, they've been making music that is neither retro nor derivative, with influences ranging from Sam Cooke to Neil Young and Ghostface Killah. Now a touring machine, Black Pumas brings their skillful combination of folky strum, sticky funk, dusty psych, and old soul to an in-studio session. (From the Archives, 2019.)Set list: 1. Colors 2.

In der Luft liegen Funk, Soul und der Duft heißer Sommernächte. Drei junge Männer - zwei Brüder und ihr Cousin - sitzen in einer Garage, umgeben von alten Gitarren, Drumcomputern und Platten von Marvin Gaye und Sam Cooke. Sie lachen, jammen und suchen nach einem Namen. Einer sagt im Scherz: „Hey, wie wär's mit Tony, Toni, Toné?“ Ein Witz, der bleibt. Und ein Name, der Geschichte schreiben wird. (superfly.fm)

Beacon lyricist specializes in musicals for kids Growing up in rural North Carolina, Melvin Tunstall III lived behind a church. "My father was a deacon, but everyone thought he was the pastor," he recalls. "He cut a path between the woods and our house." Evidenced by Tunstall's singing style and his collaborative score for the musical Stuntboy: In the Meantime, now on tour, gospel music seeped into his psyche. Things are picking up for the Beacon writer, composer, lyricist and performer. Earlier this year, he traveled to North Carolina to direct a Raleigh Theatre Arts Center production of The Music of Sam Cooke, who began with gospel and ended with soul. "The call for that gig came out of nowhere," Tunstall says. "As I started to dive into the show, it's such a history lesson. That was one of my favorite theatrical experiences." For Tunstall, the past is attractive. He is working on a musical score based on the 2022 children's book Yellow Dog Blues about a boy who, while searching for his lost dog, learns about the influence of Mississippi Delta blues musicians on the electrified Chicago scene in the 1940s and 1950s. Tunstall's niche is uplifting works for young people. Polkadots: The Cool Kids Musical ran for three weeks this year at a theater in Bloomington, Indiana, and Senior Class premiered at the Olney Theatre Center in Maryland. TheaterWorksUSA produced his hour-long musical adaptation of Stuntboy, based on a graphic novel for children written by Jason Reynolds and illustrated by Raul the Third, which is now on a national tour. Like the Sam Cooke opportunity, Tunstall received an unsolicited call to write for a five-person Stuntboy cast. His musical partner, Greg Dean Borowski, sent over songs and Tunstall, who wrote the book and lyrics, added his touches and recorded demos for the cast to study. Though Tunstall's high school musical, Senior Class, tackles issues of race and class, Stuntboy is wholesome and features supportive, affirming messages. The protagonist, Portico Reeves, is an 8-year-old trying to overcome anxiety surrounding his parents' impending divorce. The production features plenty of movement onstage, along with colorful sets and costumes. Church-style harmonies bookend the opening song, which introduces Portico's female best friend and his bullying nemesis. Driven by keyboards, the tunes are poppy and upbeat. Though there are spoken interludes, most of the story is conveyed in the lyrics. After premiering at Bronxville High School in Westchester County, the production will travel to Austin, Texas, for performances on Nov. 5 and 6. Tunstall moved to New York City after college but returned to North Carolina following 9/11. Friends pulled him north again, and he joined the cast of the Toronto production of Rock of Ages in 2010 and the original Broadway production of Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, hanging around for six years. He became acquainted with theater folks living in Beacon, found a beneficial living arrangement and moved to the city two years ago. "It reminds me of Blowing Rock, North Carolina," he says. Although jobs seem to find him, he continues to hustle. "This is a tough business," he says. "You have to be five years ahead of the game, but I'm married to my career. I'm just thinking, 'Let's get as much theater into the world as possible.' "

"Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul" (1965) ist das dritte Studioalbum des amerikanischen Soulsängers Otis Redding. Es besteht hauptsächlich aus Coverversionen zeitgenössischer R&B-Hits und hat bis heute einen festen Platz unter den wichtigsten Alben der Musikgeschichte. "Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul" erschien am 15. September 1965 und verkaufte sich mehr als 250.000 Mal. Entstanden ist das Album in den legendären Stax-Studios in Memphis – und das in gerade einmal 24 Stunden. Das Indie-Label Stax Records war neben Motown Records eines der wichtigsten Labels für Soulmusik und prägte den typischen "Memphis-Soul". Die Stax-Hausband Booker T. & The MG's war auch maßgeblich an der Produktion von "Otis Blue" beteiligt. In einigen Songs des Albums zeigt sich ein deutlicher Bezug zur amerikanischen Bürgerrechtsbewegung Mitte der 1960er Jahre. Ein Beispiel dafür ist der Song "Ole Man Trouble", in dem Otis Redding musikalische Brücken schlägt. Er verknüpft Elemente des als "weiß" wahrgenommenen Country mit den afroamerikanischen Traditionen der Soul- und Bluesmusik. Gerade in den Jahren des Höhepunkts der Bürgerrechtsbewegung war diese musikalische Verbindung mehr als ein Stilmittel. Sie wurde zur künstlerischen Aussage gegen Trennung und Ausgrenzung. Ein weiterer Song, der in diesem Zusammenhang genannt werden muss, ist "Change Gonna Come". Dabei handelt es sich um eine Coverversion des Songs "A Change Is Gonna Come" von Sam Cooke. Cooke, ein wichtiges Vorbild für Redding, hatte den Song nach einer eigenen rassistischen Erfahrung geschrieben. Zusätzlich zum Schreiben inspiriert wurde er, als er Bob Dylans "Blowin' In The Wind" hörte – ein Moment, der ihn dazu brachte, selbst ein Lied über die Ungerechtigkeiten gegenüber Afroamerikanern zu verfassen, diesmal aber aus der Sicht eines schwarzen Musikers. Nach Cookes frühem Tod im Jahr 1964 führte Otis Redding dieses Erbe weiter. Er kürzte den Titel zu "Change Gonna Come" und machte den Song endgültig zu einer Hymne der Bürgerrechtsbewegung, die heute sozusagen als amerikanisches Kulturerbe gilt. __________ Über diese Songs vom Album "Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul" sprechen wir im Podcast (16:12) – "Ole Man Trouble"(23:42) – "Respect"(32:23) – "Change Gonna Come"(49:15) – "I've Been Loving You Too Long"(54:58) – "Satisfaction" __________ Alle Shownotes und weiterführenden Links zur Folge: https://1.ard.de/otis-redding-otis-blue-otis-redding-sings-soul __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

Ronnie Schneider : "Out of Our Heads" From Sam Cooke, the Beatles, Rolling Stones US Tours, AltamontRolling Stones Insider Shares Memories and Rare Artifacts in New BookBack in the mid 1960s, overnight, a street-smart east coast kid went from being a college student to tour manager/moneyman and confidante to the Rolling Stones. The band didn't eat, drink, or even play unless Ronnie Schneider did his job, and this trusting relationship led to a wild adventure that would soon include the Beatles, Swinging London, and producing the mythical '69 Stones tour that culminated in the infamous show at Altamont. In his new book, Schneider gives readers an all access pass into the most intimate spaces, from hotels and boardrooms to private planes and backstage debauchery, crunching deals, babysitting the band, tasting wine, woman and dope – this is a front row seat to rock's last great era; jam-packed with rare artifacts and all the paperwork to back it up.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

This week on Dem Vinyl Boyz, we throw on the toga, spike the punch, and crank up the chaos with the unforgettable soundtrack to National Lampoon’s Animal House (1978). One of the most iconic comedy films of all time, Animal House didn’t just redefine the college party movie—it also delivered a killer blend of ‘50s and ‘60s rock ’n’ roll that’s still blasting at frat houses today. The soundtrack features classics from Otis Day & The Knights (“Shout” and “Shama Lama Ding Dong”), Sam Cooke, Fats Domino, and the Kingsmen's raucous “Louie Louie,” all tied together by the chaotic, high-energy spirit of the Delta Tau Chi fraternity. Whether you're reliving your wild college days or hearing these tracks for the first time on wax, this episode is a nostalgic, riotous ride through a soundtrack that’s just as legendary as the film itself. And don’t forget: this episode kicks off our 8-week Soundtrack Summer series—spotlighting the most iconic movie soundtracks ever pressed to vinyl.

A lot of companies use positive-sounding cliches like “people over profit” and “work-life balance”. This sounds good, until somebody pulls the sales reports and says “we need more revenue and profits”. Then, the bottom line becomes the bottom line. This is sometimes served with a side of “you come to work to do work, change the world on your own time”.Now, picture a model where putting people over profit actually increases profits. Where work-life balance is not measured using number of hours worked or percentage of time in the office vs. working remotely. Being involved with a company that breaks the rules and norms for its industry, where coming to work to do work means doing your part to change the world.Christian Agulles has created all of these things in an industry known for squeezing its engineers like getting that last drop out of the toothpaste tube.Born and raised in College Point, a little town in Queens, Christian was a devout Catholic who went to church, went to Catholic school, and had the whole Catholic experience that, as he describes it, formed him and scarred him at the same time. His father, a police officer, was shot in the line of duty when Christian was seven. Even being able to retire on three-quarters pension, that money didn't go far supporting a family including Christian and his two younger brothers. His mother went to work in the school cafeteria so she could align her schedule with her sons, and cleaned houses on weekends. By example, she taught Christian to not be afraid to do hard things and to do them with grace.While starting his family, Christian spent the first 20 years of his career with an engineering firm that moved him around the country to open new offices. But over those 20 years, his employer was repeatedly acquired and evolved into company that focused more on acquisition, revenue, and EBIDA. It was right around this time he was recruited to join PAE. Everything worked out fine, yes? Well, Fine is a 4-Letter Word. Did his moment of realization come from a coaching session at PAE with Sandy Lindstrom, known for the “polishing the diamond” principle, where he found out they did not feel he was very good at delivering feedback? Was it discovering that his foundational values around doing hard work with grace could be merged with volunteerism, altruism, and contribution?In a moment, when I bring Christian on, he's going to guide us through his experience leading a Certified B-Corporation and how he's taken one of their metrics – utilization – and redefined it to build PAE into a company that has a net positive impact not only on its employees, but on society as a whole. If, up until now, you've seen your best-laid plans get trumped by “the bottom line” when bills are due, this could be what you need to hear. Christian's hype songs are "Bring It On Home To Me" by Sam Cooke and "Right to Be Wrong" by Joss Stone.Resources:Christian Agulles' website: https://www.pae-engineers.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christian-j-agulles/Invitation from Lori:This episode is sponsored by Zen Rabbit.

They also dig into For What It's Worth by Buffalo Springfield, Which Side Are You On by Florence Reece, and Killing In The Name by Rage Against The Machine, among others, exploring the historical and political contexts that shaped each song and the emotional weight they still carry today. Listen to the playlist on YouTube.In the second half of the episode, Professor Aubrey shares a heartfelt and firsthand account of attending the No Kings protest in Portland, Oregon, on June 14th, 2025. She reflects on the power of peaceful demonstration, the courage of everyday people taking to the streets to demand justice, and why exercising our First Amendment rights is more important than ever.

Carla Cooke is the youngest daughter of legendary singer and Civil Rights activist Sam Cooke.

She sings some Sam Cooke live in our studio, and discusses her upcoming show at 54 Below, “Carla Cooke: Celebrating Sam Cooke.”

Over the last 5 years, we have had the privilege of bringing you stories of Pioneering musicians such as Bill Monroe, Sam Cooke, Johnny Cash, Lead Belly, Dolly Parton, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Pete Seeger, Jean Ritchie and so many more.However, a recently shift was forced upon the American Songcatcher program. Our distributor, Spotify for Podcasters/Creators, has taken down 1/4 of our episodes on all platforms, with more likely to follow, as they have began to crack down on the rights and usage of songs. Although this program is strictly education-based, and we don't sell products or produce any notable revenue from these episodes, they don't see what we do as fair use. It's a big blow, as over a year's worth of our work is now gone from the convenient places to listen to them.And so, our standstill for the last 5 months has been one of great pondering, and a lot of work with our nonprofit ReString Appalachia, where we have just surpassed 700 instruments given to those who had them taken away from natural disasters. It's been decided that from now on, American Songcatcher will strictly focus on traditional song history, field recordings, and interviews. We embrace our new direction, and we hope you will too. All of the episodes will be available on our website, AmericanSongcatcher.com in the next month. We'll be back with some new content soon, thank you for your patience, see you next time on American Songcatcher.__Support Educational Programming:⁠Tax-Exempt Donations⁠Join the⁠ Patreon Community⁠One-time donations:⁠ Venmo⁠ or⁠ PayPal⁠Follow ⁠American Songcatcher⁠ on ⁠Instagram⁠ Credits: Nicholas Edward Williams - Production, editing, recording and distribution

Sam Cooke was a lot of things: soul superstar, civil rights champion, whip smart entrepreneur. But he was also a serial womanizer with an unbridled libido. On December 11, 1964, Cooke was shot to death by Bertha Lee Franklin, manager of the Hacienda Motel in Los Angeles. The killing was ruled a justifiable homicide due to Cooke's unruly, drunken behavior, which involved him holding another woman captive in his hotel room and allegedly raping her earlier in the evening. With full appreciation of the #MeToo moment we are currently all living through as a culture, Disgraceland, with fresh eyes, looks into this crime and the successful effort by Sam Cooke's family and powerful music industry colleagues to salvage his legacy and reputation by personally discrediting his victim.
