Carla Cooke was just months old when her legendary dad, singer/songwriter Sam Cooke was killed by a motel clerk when he was 33 in 1964. He was way ahead of his time, setting up his own music label, to make sure he and other artists would be fairly compensated for their work. Carla is following in her dad’s footsteps as a singer/songwriter herself, with a traveling show in his honor.
