‘A Change Is Gonna Come’ — Sam Cooke

The 1964 hit of Sam Cooke’s A Change Is Gonna Come was released just days after his December 1964 funeral when the B-side of the posthumous single hit “Shake” (he was shot dead at a motel in Los Angeles). While not the biggest success on the chart, it peaked at No. 31 in the national pop chart and reached No. 9 in the R&B chart.
