Didnt she do a great job at such a young age? Her father told her the history of the song. A Change Is Gonna Come is a song by American singer-songwriter Sam Cooke, released on December 22, 1964 by RCA Victor. Produced by Hugo & Luigi and arranged and conducted by René Hall, the song was the B-side to Shake. The song concerns African-Americans and contains the refrain, Its been a long time coming, but I know a change is gonna come. The song was inspired by various personal events in Cookes life, most prominently an event in which he and his entourage were turned away from a whites only motel in Louisiana. Cooke felt compelled to write a song that spoke to his and the struggle of those around him, and he recorded the song for its first release on his final album, Aint That Good News. Though only a modest hit for Cooke in comparison with his previous singles, A Change Is Gonna Come became an anthem for the American Civil Rights Movement. The song is widely considered Cookes best composition and has been voted among the best songs ever released by various publications. In 2007, the song was selected for preservation in the Library of Congress, with the National Recording Registry deeming the song culturally, historically, or aesthetically important. https://youtube/watch?v=8UXyiwy--QI
