If you ever go across the seas to Ireland
Then maybe at the closing of your day
You will sit and watch the moonrise over Claddagh
And see the sun go down on Galway Bay
To hear again the ripple of the trout stream
The women in the meadows making hay
To sit beside the turf fire in the cabin
And watch the barefoot goosoons at their play
For the strangers came and tried to teach us their ways
They scorned us just for being what we are
But they might as well go chasing after moonbeams
Or light a penny candle from a star
And if there's going to be a life hereafter
And somehow I am sure there's going to be
I will ask my God to let me make my heaven
In that dear land across the Irish Sea
Sam Cooke (1931-1964) was a legendary American singer, songwriter, and record producer, considered one of the pioneers of soul music. Born in Clarksdale, Mississippi, Cooke began his musical career singing gospel in his local church. In 1957, he signed with Saratoga Records, releasing hits like "You Send Me" which made him a pop star. Cooke then founded his own record label, The Soul Stirrers, continuing to record highly successful gospel songs. Throughout the 1960s, Cooke established himself as one of the greatest soul artists with albums like "Ain't That Good News" and "Live at the Harlem Square Club", characterized by captivating melodies and deeply emotional lyrics. His rich and powerful vocal style, his musical sensitivity, and his songs that addressed social issues such as racial equality made him a cultural icon of great significance. Cooke was assassinated in 1964 at the age of 33, leaving an unfillable void in American music.
