It's important to specify that You Send Me is one of the precursor singles of soul. It is then that he will launch out under the small label Keen on releasing in 1957 the single You Send Me which will become number 1 on Billboard. While he had at the base the agreement of his label Speciality, the conflicts between the boss of his label and his producer Robert Blackwell precipitated the departure of Blacwell and thus of Sam Cooke from the label. In 1956/1957 he decided to launch his solo career. Even before starting his solo career and becoming a star, Sam Cooke was already so popular that he was known to have made gospel music 'trendy' outside of religion. In 1952 he wrote his first songs for Don Raleigh and 3 years later for his band The Soul Stirrers. It is in this band that he will blossom, allowing him to experience his first successes. The following year he joined The Soul Stirrers, one of the most influential and avant-garde gospel bands in Early R&B. He truly began his career in 1945 at the age of 14 when he was the lead singer of the gospel group The Highway QC's where he performed without ever releasing a single. Since religion and music are part of the spiritual culture, he too, like his siblings, developed a passion for music in their tender childhoods. It's funny how many artists of that time had the same family situation. Originally from Mississippi and born in 1931, Sam Cooke was born into a large religious family to a reverend father. Unfortunately he was murdered in a dark affair in 1964 at the age of 33, which in my opinion prevented him from being one of the artists with the greatest career. Without quoting everything, as it is possible to summarize the idea in a short sentence, just like Ray Charles, he has had direct or indirect influence on all the greatest Soul artists to come and even today. He enjoyed great popularity with the white public, which made him a pop crossover artist 'beyond' R&B, and made him one of the most influential and powerful artists in his sphere. And that's not all, Sam Cooke was a great singer and songwriter who stood out for his natural, uninhibited singing style, offering one of the most sumptuous and pure vocal clarity in history. If there is one important pioneer that I haven't mentioned and that I hadn't yet talked about in detail, it's Sam Cooke, one of the most popular and influential soul singers of the time.

Among the forerunners of this new style that was taking shape were important personalities such as Ray Charles, Clyde McPhatter, James Brown, Ruth Brown, Jackie Wilson and Etta James. All this would lead to one of the most important R&B movement of its kind (but not only), which is still very present today: Soul. More and more popular, Rhythm and blues which consisted of 2 distinctive styles : Doo-wop and Early R&B, combined with Gospel, went to see a new generation being born. Hope you enjoyed “Wonderful World” by Sam Cooke.The 50's and early 60's marked a considerable turning point for the Rhythm and Blues genre, which was to shake up (almost) all music in general.
