Otis was my favorite Sam interpreter. And he could read this song like no one else.

Jack McDuff > A Change is Gonna Come
Composed by Sam Cooke

I heard a report from the London Obama gathering (amazing in itself, yes?) that A Change is Gonna Come was their anthem of the night. Just like us. This version from Brother Jack is rarely heard, and a nice change up.
