Daughter of legendary Sam Cooke brings family sound to Sun City
Posted
Legendary Motown recording artist Sam Cooke is all about music, religion, romance and history. His youngest daughter, Carla, crafted her sound in the church similar to her dad.
Ms. Cooke will bring that sound to town at 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 28 at Sundial Auditorium, 14801 N. 103rd Ave.
She never sought to use her father’s name but chose rather to build her own reputation and has become her own person, with roots connected through her father’s music. Ms. Cooke’s style is diverse in gospel, Christian, R&B, soul, pop and the contemporary sound that embraces today’s culture.
Her CD entitled "A Time to Remember" covers renditions of her father’s hits, including "A Change is Gonna Come," "Summertime" and "Lost and Looking" as well as several compositions she has written. Ms. Cooke proves that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree as she gives the listener the emotion, beauty and charisma that has her carrying the Cooke family torch musically into the new millennium.
IF YOU GO
What: Carla Cooke
When: 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 28. Doors open at 6.
