I can't wait until school is done!

Not that I've got a whole lot to complain about, only being in one class and all... But still, school is always school, and always stressful on some level.

Oh yay! You did it! I had such a hard time thinking of songs ;) For some reason I really like Fiona Apple...I don't really listen to her, but I really like her a lot.

Your Sam Cooke info

Just a few facts so you don't lose points with your Professor:

Sam died on December 11, 1964 and "A Change is Gonna Come" was released on December 22, 1964. Sam was on RCA Records at the time; he was never on Motown. He wrote the song earlier in the year and was supposed to sing it on Johnny Carson's "Tonight Show" on February 7, 1964, but never did.

It was an extra-sad time because of the seriousness of the song and that the details of Sam's death were hard to believe. (As well they should've been; the "official version" of his death was a farce.)

I meant Motown in the sense of style - what non-music buffs might relate it to - not the record label, but thank you anyway.
