Lady, You Shot Me: Remembering Sam Cooke - Paperback

by Darren C. Demaree (Author)

Sam Cooke, the man, the musician, the lover - his natural genius, his wanton escapades, his raw passion, his business talent and his brilliant, soulful music are all here conjured in a series of poems by Darren C. Demaree. From humble gospel beginnings, to world-fame stature and cold murder, the beauty, unlikeliness and tragedy of a genius and his life are here commemorated and eternally brought to life.

"It is hard to imagine a collection of poems that could do justice to the gentle genius and bright star that was Sam Cooke, but "Lady, You Shot Me" manages to do exactly that."
