The enduring civil-rights anthem took inspiration from surprising.THE UNLIKELY STORY OF “A CHANGE IS GONNA COME” By David Cantwell March 17, 2015 Half a century ago, on March 7, 1965, state troopers knocked down, gassed, and beat a number of men and women who were participating in a peaceful march for voting rights in Selma, Alabama. That same day, radio listeners around the country might have heard Sam Cooke singing a lyric he’d written and recorded several months earlier, but which could have been describing the “Bloody Sunday” confrontation on the Edmund Pettus Bridge. Then I go to my brother And I say, “Brother, help me please. But he winds up knockin’ me Back down on my knees. Like the Selma-to-Montgomery march, Cooke’s brooding but bright civil-rights anthem “A Change Is Gonna Come” recently marked its fiftieth anniversary. The song, which was released as the B-side of Cooke’s posthumous hit single “Shake” just days after his funeral, in December 1964, entered the national pop and R&B charts during the first week of 1965. It fell off the pop countdown, after peaking at No. 31, on March 13th, and would slip from the R&B charts, where it climbed to No. 9, on April 10.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/howcee-radio-231-sixth-ave-beatrice-al--6405738/support.
