We were pretty happy that Sam Cooke was named No. 4 on Rolling Stones’ 100 Greatest Singers of All Time, right after Elvis who came in as No.3, even though we believe to our soul that Sam was a better singer than Elvis.

Sorry, King, we love ya, but Sam had it all, and his life was cut much too short, much shorter than yours.

Here’s a list of the some of the best songs by the Great Sam Cooke.

• A Change Is Gonna Come
• (Ain’t That) Good News

• Bring It on Home to Me
• Chain Gang
• Cupid
• Everybody Loves to Cha Cha Cha
• Having a Party
• Only Sixteen
• Shake
