Justice Served: Sam Cooke Pt. 1

Today's first episode of Justice Served covers the first of two parts on the murder of Sam Cooke, who in 1964 was one of the biggest stars in America, a pioneering soul singer whose voice and business instincts were reshaping the music industry. Behind the success, Cooke was navigating growing personal pressures and a shifting cultural landscape as the civil rights movement gained momentum. Carter Roy traces Cooke’s rise from gospel prodigy to crossover icon, his fight for ownership and control in a segregated industry, and the tensions that defined his life offstage. As his influence grew, so did his willingness to challenge the status quo, culminating in a pivotal decision to walk away from a performance rather than play to a segregated audience, a moment that marked a turning point in the final chapter of his life.
