Carla Cooke Presents "An Evening of Sam Cooke"
Friday, June 7, 2024| 8pm
Born in Manhattan, New York, Carla Cooke is the youngest daughter of the Legendary Sam Cooke. Carla’s future mirrors the image of her father. She crafted her sound in the church similar to her dad. The younger Cooke knows her father’s roots are so deep, but Carla has become her own person and connects with her roots through her father’s music.
Having her Father, her God Father, Sir Mac Rice (writer of "Cheaper to Keep Her" and "Mustang Sally"), and her Uncle, Recording Artist LC Cooke, as inspirations motivates the journey she is on as a performer.
Legendary Blues Artist Joe Louis Walker recorded a duet with Carla on his “Blues Comin’ On” LP. He had this to say about Carla as an artist during his interview with Union Leader Newspaper, “I think if there was a star of this record that really makes this whole thing work, it’s Carla Cooke. I very rarely say this but for the life of me, I can’t figure out why Carla Cooke is not a household name in the way that Natalie Cole is. She is extremely talented, and she has a voice that, once you hear it, you never forget”. Carla has also performed with Gerald Alston of “The Manhattans” at The Rhythm and Blues Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony where Billboard Magazine stated, “The Ceremony’s show stopping moment was a duet on Sam Cooke’s “A Change is Gonna Come” by Austin and Cooke’s daughter Carla Cooke”.
On tour with “The Sam Cooke Experience” Carla presents the hit songs from her father’s catalog including his number 1 hits “You Send Me” and “A Change is Gonna Come”. Her mesmerizing powerful voice takes her audience down memory lane as they experience the music of her father, Mr. Soul Sam Cooke.
