Sounds like your mama had it about right. Sam was a married man out catting around with a prostitute at a seedy $3/night hotel.

It is what it is.

The man was murdered b/c he went busting up in Bertha's room naked and out of his mind with anger. The woman was what? 55 years old to his 33? During the scuffle she shot him--as many women would have.

Black people love a conspiracy theory.

What is THAT all about?

As with many of our great artists, they have issues that some would frown upon in their personalities and characters.
Bobby Womack took up with the widow Barbara Cooke in some estimations, way too soon. It was rumored they had been rolling in the hay prior to Sam's death.
Sam Cooke was almost caught in a hotel with a very young Aretha Franklin in Atlanta during one of her father's gospel tours. (BTW she was under 18 at the time).
There was no mob hit on Cooke - he was killed by the motel desk clerk as reported with nothing on but a sports coat and shoes.
Womanizng is so a part of this culture, especially amongs African-American males, but hell look who our examples were; 'massah'

The problem is that the police report and the particulars of the case turn that compelling story and plausible theory into a grotesque lie. The examination of Cooke’s case files by Dr Rodney Muhammad, Show that the LAPD was either on the take or did an investigation that went beyond any definition of absurdity. Records show that Franklin changed her story four times upon extensive questioning, with her story evolving from self defense, to a robbery, to a crime of passion, to a case of mistaken identity. Yet there were no charges of perjury or any action taken against her. There was no questioning or physical examination of Boyer to see if she had been raped. It was reported that his car was running and a Muhammad Speaks newspaper was on the back seat. There was also blood and black skin on the outside of the motel and inside Cooke’s car.


Yet the most damming evidence against the LAPD version of events lied in Cooke’s pathology report. Where as the official story was that Cooke died from several bullets; the report said only bullet in his body was between the 3rd and 4th rib precisely where there would be no bone to obstruct the passage way between the bullet and his heart; a shot that would kill him instantly. That kind of precise shooting was a trademark for both LA mob gunmen and the nation of Islam’s henchmen. The most glaring fact that destroys the police argument is the welt on Cooke’s head. The report said that it came as a result of the pressure of a huge blunt object, not the wooden broom stick that Franklin said she hit him with several times over. That meant that there would be no way that she could have gave him that bruise after she shot him; because, to quote Dr Muhammad, "the volume depletion of blood and fluid due to the massive internal bleeding, (not enough fluid left to make a head blow swell) and the heart had stopped pumping altogether which would result in an aborted inflammatory response."

Singer Etta James revealed in her book "Rage To Survive," that Cooke was so badly beaten that his head was decapitated from his shoulders, his hands were broken and crushed, his nose was smashed and he had a two inch bump on his head. These injuries were never explained and a woman could not inflict these type of injuries.

Bertha Franklin had a .32 registered in her name yet she killed Cooke with a .22, she would move to Michigan and die eighteen months later.

Lisa Boyer would be arrested for prostitution one month after Cookes death and in 1979 she would be found guilty of second degree murder in the shooting death of her boyfriend.

Well anyone that dismisses the mob’s involvement with the music industry needs to go do some research. It is possible that Sam was killed by the mob since he was one of the few artists that owned his own publishing and record company. In addition, to that according to his manager he liked hookers and had been seen with this woman before.

Everytime he went into a seedy motel with a hooker he was taking a chance of having his wallet stolen. According to his manager he had 5,000.00 in his wallet when he left their office that day and the wallet was found completely empty and the woman was later arrested for prosetute In addition, to the comments that Etta James made about Sam facial and head wounds being so bad the family had a closed casket.

It is not a conspiracy when the facts do not add up in a pre-civil rights world.
