sam cooke

Oh goodness, there is so much surrounding his death. It'd be interesting which direction they would take it in but I doubt it'll happen anytime soon because of that.






Rest in Peace Michael Clarke Duncan, your smile will be missed.
RIP Al Freeman Jr.

Hello friend!

Oh boy, now I want that to happen. Please don't tease me. Mackie + Cooke would be awesome. Anthony is one of my favorites and in my opinion one of the best actors of this current generation of "young-ish" talent and has yet to really breakout. Sam was wonderful, talented, and he made beautiful music. He could sing anything and make you feel it. I recall my mother telling me he was one of the first black stars she remembered that didn't have to portray a stereotypical image or play himself down in some way. When he sang he enunciated each word. He was handsome, young and charismatic, a heartthrob. Intelligent. He didn't have to play it up for laughs and I think that was what was so appealing to a lot of people, finally being able to see a truer representation of themselves. But he had something that created a connection to all kinds of people.

And you know Mackie wants to do the Jesse Owens biopic. Now that project is perfect for him. If that came to fruition I wouldn't mind someone else doing the Sam Cooke film. But it would probably have to be an unknown.




Rest in Peace Michael Clarke Duncan, your smile will be missed.

if they had of made a film of sam cooke in the late 80's or early 90's then for me denzil washington could easily have played him because when i see pictures of sam cooke i see denzil washington, and when i see denzil washington especially when he smiles i see sam cooke.
