Sam Cooke is widely regarded as the inventor of soul music, blending gospel with pop and R&B on timeless classics like A Change Is Gonna Come and You Send Me. He founded SAR Records in 1961 and was among the first Black artists to take full control of his own business affairs in the music industry.
