Sam Cooke was amazing, but this film is full of half truths and speculation.
They should have shown some respect for the guy- or are they too riding on his coattails???
I was anticipating a REAL documentary about Sam, instead of gossip and HERESAY.
You will NOT hear any of his music! Nothing, nada, none!
They had a paralegal (who had Sam Cooke's picture tattooed all over his body) touting his so-called expertise in all things legal. The guy is a loon and doesn't seem to have any knowledge of how corporations are structured
He used an OLD NEWSPAPER CLIPPING to compare with legal documents,--NOT credible source material!
As far as Sam being listed as "employee", is not unusual, it's structured as such to provide a means for Sam to collect a salary and pay taxes, ect. Wow, that dude had absolutely no comprehension of these types legal matters.
Boyer (the woman he allegedly kidnapped & attempted to rape) later sued Cooke's estate and was awarded $30,000.00.
Franklin, the manager (who shot him) was on the phone with Carr, (the owner of motel) during the attack. Carr was the one who called the police.
Tests from his autopsy proved Sam was inebriated, which explains a lot.
Both Boyer and Franklin PASSED Polygraph tests with flying colors.
It was mentioned that Sam, because he was successful, would not have gone to a seedy hotel with a prostitute, however it happens time and time again. One example is Hugh Grant - he was arrested for soliciting a prostitute.
They fail to talk about Sam's life (like 3 other children he had out of wedlock).
score 1/10
