INSam Cooke wrote “A Change Is Gonna Come” based on various events in his life, most prominently when he and his entourage were turned away from a whites-only motel in Louisiana. Cooke felt compelled to write a song that spoke to his struggle and of those around him, and that pertained to the Civil Rights Movement and African Americans.
From our 2018 salute to the 300th anniversary of New Orleans, @ledisi raised her voice on Sam Cooke’s “A Change Is Gonna Come” along with International Jazz Day musical director @johnbeasleyofficial on piano.
