Sam Cooke’s Murder And Apparent Cover Up To Be The Focus Of New Netflix Series
His beautiful and timeless records still hold a special place in millions of hearts. But Sam Cooke’s life was cut tragically short. Now the singer’s life and death is to be the focus of a Netflix docu-series. Cooke was shot dead at the age of 33 by motel manager Bertha Franklin.
His family have always maintained his death was part of a larger conspiracy theory. Cooke was a staunch supporter of the civil rights movement. His hit record “A Change Is Gonna Come” was inspired after he and his entourage were turned away from a whites-only motel in Louisiana.
