‘A Change Is Gonna Come — Sam Cooke
Only a few days had passed after he was put to rest at the cemetery when the song was released. Finally, Sam Cooke was murdered in a hotel room in Los Angeles by a lady who pulled a gun on him and fired one shot into his skull. Because of this, despite the fact that it did not gain widespread success on the charts, it became known as the unofficial anthem of the civil rights movement. In 2007, it was also selected for preservation by the National Recording Registry, marking the first time such a decision had been made. In recognition of its significance to American culture and history, the song was selected for this occasion.
