Sam Cook, 22nd January 1931, Clarksdale, Mississippi, U.S.A.d. 11th December 1964, Los Angeles, California, U.S.A.Sam Cooke died way before his time.

He was one of eight children by a Baptist minister and his wife. Sam first performed publicly with his brother and two sisters in their Baptist quartet, the Soul Children.

As a teenager he joined the Highway QCs, before replacing Rebert 'R.H' Harris in the Soul Stirrers. Between 1951 and 1956, Sam sang lead with this gospel group. During that decade the Cook family moved to Chicago's South Side, where the Reverend Charles Cook quickly established himself as a major figure in the religious community. He recorded 'Touch The Hem Of His Garment' and 'Nearer To Thee'. The Soul Stirrers recorded for the Specialty label, where producer, 'Bumps' Blackwell, was to provide Sam with pop material. 'Loveable' / 'Forever' was issued as a single, under the pseudonym 'Dale Cook' in order to avoid offending the gospel audience.Initially content, the label's owner, Art Rupe, then objected to the choir on a follow-up recording, 'You Send Me', and offered Sam a release from his contract in return for outstanding royalties.

The song was then passed to the Keen label, where it sold in excess of two million copies. Further hits, including 'Only Sixteen' and 'Wonderful World', followed. The latter was used extensively in a television jeans commercial and in 1986 the re-issue reached number 2 in the U.K. Charts.Sam left the label for RCA Records where 'Chain Gang' (in 1960), 'Cupid' (in 1961), 'Twistin' The Night Away' (in 1962), 'Bring It On Home To Me' and 'Little Red Rooster' all followed. He also founded the Sar and Derby labels on which the Simms Twins' 'Soothe Me' and the Valentinos' 'It's All Over Now' were issued.

Sam's own career continued with '(Ain't That) Good News' and 'Good Times'. The drowning death of his infant son in mid 1963 had made it impossible for Samto work in the studio until the end of that year.On 11th December 1964, following an altercation with a girl he had picked up, the singer was fatally shot by the manageress of a Los Angeles motel.

Sam had dinner with a famous artist on the 11th December 1964, Los Angeles, California, U.S.A. He and a friend picked up a couple of models and went to a hotel.

After arranging rooms, Sam became aggressive with his female friend and frightened her. When he went to the bathroom, she stole his trousers and left the hotel. Sam went into a rage, and, after being unable to find his companion, he started banging on the office door demanding to know where the woman had gone. When inside he attacked the female manager, during the struggle she was able to reach behind her and pull a gun from the desk drawer. In fear for her life, she shot him repeatedly. The female escort's name was Eliza, a euroasian model. The motel manager was not prosecuted, as it was deemed to be self defence.

'A Change Is Gonna Come', went on to become a Soul classic, and was utilised by the Sixties America's Civil Rights movement.Sam was buried at:Burial: Forest Lawn Memorial Park Glendale Los Angeles County California, U.S.A. Plot: Garden of HonorThere are some alleged matters which some believe bring into question Sam's final days, along with the jury trial. These comprise of:After a brief trial, the jury deliberated for fifteen minutes and came back with a verdict of justifiable homicide. Bertha Franklin and Lisa Boyer were free.

The Cooke family hired an private investigator who uncovered the following facts:Cooke had dated Lisa Boyer three weeks prior to his murder despite the fact that numerous people warned him about her colorful past which included prostitution. If Cooke was dating her, why would he try to rape her?Singer Etta James revealed in her book 'Rage To Survive,' that Cooke was so badly beaten that his head was nearly decapitated from his shoulders, his hands were broken and crushed, his nose was smashed and he had a two inch bump on his head. These injuries were never explained and a woman could not inflict these type of injuries.Bertha Franklin had a.32 registered in her name, yet she killed Cooke with a.22, she would move to Michigan and die eighteen months later.Lisa Boyer would be arrested for prostitution one month after Cookes death and in 1979 she would be found guilty of second degree murder in the shooting death of her boyfriend.Other related matters:Singer Otis Redding would die three years later on the exact day that Sam Cooke was killed.Cooke's widow married Bobby Womack three months after his death. They have since divorced.Barbara sold the Sam Cooke publishing catalogue to a businessman for a mere $103,000.

I have just downloaded two of your sam cooke albums. Thanks very much for those!on 'ain't that good news' there seem to be two tracks missing, 'there'll be no second time' and 'the riddle song' (11 and 12).

I'll see if i can find them anywhere else, and let you know.said.Good blog, and I'm grateful for the addendum to the story of Sam's demise, but there are mis-facts sprinkled in throughout the story.First of all, I don't blame anyone who hasn't read my book for regurgitating variations of the same Sam-tried-to-force-himself-on-a-defenseless-woman story. It's pretty much all that's been out there these past 45 years. In 'Our Uncle Sam,' I point out some of the same irrational points you made, in addition to other things that were happening behind the scenes in Sam's life both personally and professionally.The Cook family didn't hire the private investigator, the 'Jewish Businessman' who was never formally investigated did.It's also myth that Bertha Franklin died 18 months after she supposedly shot Sam. Truth is, her lawsuit against his estate lasted until the late '60's and she died 25 years later in 1989.Otis Redding died December 10, 1967-one day before Sam's 3rd anniversary.Etta James' description of Sam's body was consistent with what my family saw at the funeral parlor, though I didn't choose to get as graphic as she did.

Whoever Sam encountered in his last days on earth, it wasn't an elderly lady with a broomstick.Erik GreeneAuthor, 'Our Uncle Sam: The Sam Cooke Story From His Family's Perspective'www.OurUncleSam.comsaid.here's a complete version of 'ain't that good news' (1964).cooke - 1964 ain't that good news 224k.rarenjoy!Anonymoussaid.Thanks Wouter.

I'm glad you took my comments constructively and passed them on to the relevant parties.Eriksaid.I appreciate the links, the work you do, and realize the addendum to the bio was a cut-n-paste. That being said, to refer to the gentleman who purchased the rights to Cooke's catalog as 'a Jewish businessman' seems out of place as I believe his religion to be irrelevant to the story.

Hi Matt!2012/5/13 Matt Camp I've been playing with getting LiquidSoap up and running on the Raspberry Pi with the goal of possibly building a small embedded stream encoder, but having finally gotten everything recompiled for ARM it seems that the poor little rpi just doesn't have enough grunt.This is a very cool project. I'm still waiting on my own Raspberry Pito start toying around too! I'm seeing continuous 'we must catch up xx seconds!' Log entries until it finally hits 60 seconds and restarts the source, using aacplus encoder from a playlist (containing a single mp3 file currently, though goal is to encode live audio) streaming to an icecast server.

Any tips on how to tune liquidsoap to use less CPU? I'm only really after live audio encoding from a connected USB audio interface, and streaming to icecast.David is right, you should first try with no encoding, output.dummy oroutput.icecast(%wav.). The next encoder I have in mind is flacwhich I think does not use much CPU. After that, ogg. Mp3 and aacplusare probably about the same.I am surprised, though, that one encoding process would be too much.You could also see if your problem could come from either the networkconnection or the sound card.

In each case, it should be very easy tosetup a script that has a dummy end for that, for instance:output.icecast(%mp3., blank)output.file(%mp3., '/dev/null',.)Etc.Good luck, please let us know what bottleneck you identify.Romain.

Keep us updated:)I have received my raspberry! Here are a couple of facts related to liquidsoap:. liquidsoap's debian package for armel in wheezy is broken.

Apt-getinstall liquidsoap won't work out of the box.:-(Will fix. In the mean time, it is quite easy to recompile liquidsoap,fetching deps by doing:apt-get build-dep liquidsoap. mp3, vorbis and aacplus encoders are too slow.:-(You can test that this is not liquidsoap's fault by using lame'scommand line. The CPU is just too slow to encode.

There is still achance that someone will produce e.g. A lame library optimized for theboard tho. voaacenc encoder works!This is not so much surprising.

This code comes from Google and theyuse it on android, so it's probably highly optimized. Flac encoder works!Flac is light-weighted so it's not a surprised either. All decoders seems to work fine real time.In conclusion, it seems that you may be able to use the rasberry pi to:1) Run a web stream encoded in aac using voaacenc.2) Relay/playout streams/files.I'll keep playing with the board and keep you guys updated.Romain.

It'll be cracked eventually.You do not need to use the GPU. A good fixed-point mp3 encoder wouldwork just fine. Problem is, even though mp3 is such a common format,there seems to be only one, old, dated fixed point encoder available:I've had a quick look, it wouldn't be too hard to adapt to liquidsoap,I think, but that's an amount of work that is beyond my availablespare time at the moment. If anyone's interested, I'll be happy to dosome mentoring, though:-)Romain. Hi everyone,JFI, I gave the CuBox ( ) a trywith Liquidsoap. It features an ARM v7 Sheeva @ 800Mhz, which is quiteclose to what the Raspberry Pi offers, a bit beefed up though.After having bricked the box several times I finally managed to use abare armel port of Debian along with the Liquidsoap package maintainedby Romain (dllliquidsoap.so had to be separately compiled though)The poor little CPU cannot handle a single dynamically compressed (usingthe compress operator) 128kpbs MP3 stream, that's really a shame.

Idoubt the armhf port of lame will do much better, I may be wrong though.According to my tests, you need at least an Atom N270 or a 1.2Ghz ViaNano to get such a stream running seamlessly. I use a couple of N330 inproduction, each processor can easily handle two 128kbps MP3 streams(one per core, between 3% and 70% of CPU usage depending on the work toperform on the track) with on-the-fly transcoding, normalization, andcompanding, and yet there's still a lot of CPU headroom: the 2hyperthreading threads remain available for everything else.HTH-best regards,okayawrightPGP key on requestOn 15:27, Dave Pascoe wrote: I haven't tested Liquidsoap on the Raspberry Pi yet, but I can confirm that running two instances of Darkice streaming 16kb/s MP3 streams is not an issue.

So no good fordecent sound quality.Encoding using%wav used far less CPU time and the stream stayed up, butI couldn't open it, with vlc giving an error of Header missing (Itplayed fine when the script was run from a desktop).

You can get iton the 'shine' directory on the mercurial.
