Sam Cooke is the best musician that ever lived

[TEH]

Did you mean musician or singer? I've never once heard anything about Sam Cooke playing an instrument I think Donny Hathaway was the best singer. Sam Cooke was talented at singing effortlessly, I could imagine washing dishes or something routine and it would still sound the same.


Now Donny Hathaway on the otherhand... That man would sing like time froze and he was conjuring souls from the ground up his body until they escaped through his voice

Yea

Donny Hathaway is a better singer objectively

Cooke is underrated though

He’s one of the top five soul singers but I’m not sure if he’s number one

I rock with kellz but

Definetely not a fan, but kellz did something stupid on his cover on of a change gonna come



if that boy wasn't such a deviant (especially with aaliyah) , his influence on the popular R&B in the early 2000's would have put him up there
