With each passing generation the number of people who are aware of Sam Cooke's music dwindles. Sam Cooke was a gospel singer turned pop sensation during the height of the Civil Rights movement. His first pop-single, "You Send Me," was considered the first true cross-over hit after selling over two-million copies. He went on to dominate the music industry. His records flew off the shelves. "A Change is Gonna Come" became the anthem of the Civil Rights movement. Elvis and The Beatles wanted to be Sam Cooke.

And then he was murdered.

This graphic novel will focus on the man's life and his accomplishments. His drive from a young age, his ability to charm an entire crowd, and his unrelenting climb to the top of the pop-charts. Written by Jason Rodriguez and Chris Stevens and illustrated by Rob Guillory, the Sam Cooke project is available for acquisition. Contact Jason Rodriguez for further information.
