I wish somebody would produce a biopic, even if for TV,

About both chuck berry and Sam Cooke. Seems to me there’s enough interesting stuff in both their lives to make it interesting.

Sam Cooke has a really interesting life. An amazing talent both singer and songwriter, murdered in his prime and we'll never know the real story behind it. I recently found out that songwriter Linda Womack is his daughter (uses her married name).

I watched it. I learned more about his career than his death, which is why I watched it anyway.
