Anytime someone famous suffers an untimely death, the "conspiracy theorists" come out of their closet.
Sam Cooke is one of the all-time great singers to have walked on this planet, IMHO. Offhand, the ony one I can think of who I would even put in the same class as him is Aaron Neville of the Neville Bros., although there are many others, including Al Greene Smokey Robinson, and Little Anthony who are not too far behind.
BUT, he lived on the edge. He lived the life he sang about. He ran with the fast crowd. And had more women throwing themselves at him than any BM in LOS. He was a ladies' man extraordinaire. Someone on a recent post mentioned about how a jealous TG can be dangerous, and that Latino women were even more hot-blooded and potentially dangerous. Well, I am here to say that American black women are second to none in that category. They are often raised on the mean streets and can get very crazy, plus they are usually bigger and stronger, more naturally muscular and physically agressive than any other type of woman, IMHO.
So Sam Cooke died the way he lived, passionately, in the heat of the moment, when passions got way out of control between him and a jealous woman. It was a real damn shame, because it was such a loss for all of us, but it didn't come as a surprise, IMHO.
