A Change Is Gonna Come - Sam Cooke - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Sam Cooke's iconic civil rights anthem "A Change Is Gonna Come" married the personal with the political in a spine-tingling soul supernova. Taking inspiration from Bob Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind", Martin Luther King Jr's I Have a Dream speech, and his experiences of racism, Sam Cooke immortalized the Civil Rights Movement in song, repeating the words: "It's been a long / A long time comin', but I know / A change gon' come / Oh, yes it will", over a cinematic mixture of strings, horns and timpani. Featured on Ain't That Good News – the eleventh studio album from the affectionately titled "King of Soul" – a new version of "A Change Is Gonna Come" was released as a single on December 22, 1964. In 2007, "A Change Is Gonna Come" was selected for preservation in the Library of Congress, with the National Recording Registry deeming the song "culturally, historically, or aesthetically important".
