Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come" (A Cappella Rendition)

  • 13 years ago
I wanted to do something different from my other videos. I love making comedy videos that are greatly ignored by most people. I also love to sing & I love Soul Music. So, just for fun, I made this video of me singing one of my favorite songs by Sam Cooke (http://thugradio.net/samcooke-main.html). Sam Cooke is widely recognized as one of the originators of Soul Music, along with Ray Charles. Sam Cooke wrote "A Change Is Gonna Come" after being inspired by another great socially conscious song "Blowin' In The Wind" by Bob Dylan.

My friend, Sarah Anderson, did the camera work and got a little to into experimenting with her brand new camera, making for a semi-erratic viewing experience. She also commanded me to smile & keep my eyes open. I added some other video clips to break up the monotony of watching me looking silly singing & there's also my inability to make a video without at least some traces of the ridiculous. So enjoy it or I'll cry myself to sleep, 'cause you're a big meanie.
