Sam somehow captured the struggle of his day and managed to project that same feeling generations ahead. Few songs, if any, can make that claim. Erik Greene Author, “Our Uncle Sam: The Sam Cooke Story From His Family's Perspective” www.OurUncleSam.com

I have just discovered this song, and I can’t stop listening to it, so powerful.
Thanks for the explanations, very interesting. What a song, an inspiration to Obama and to us all.

I have read many an inspirational and lively musical discussion on this website. I think this is the first post that has come close to making me a bit misty eyed. Well written Mr. Neas.

i agree w/ mcG, i get the chills each time i put this one on.

and i get furious when it’s covered badly- a la american idol. this is one of the rare songs i feel shouldn’t be touched.
