About the artist

L.C. Cooke

L.C. Cooke, the lesser-known brother of legendary soul singer Sam Cooke, may not have achieved the same level of fame as his sibling, but his talent is undeniable. With a voice that can soar to dizzying heights and the ability to convey raw emotion with just a single note, Cooke has solidified his place in the annals of soul music history. Born in Clarksdale, Mississippi, Cooke grew up surrounded by music. His older brother Sam was already making waves in the industry by the time L.C. was old enough to pick up a microphone, and it didn't take long for him to realise that he had a gift of his own. His smooth, velvety voice has been compared to the likes of Otis Redding and Al Green, but Cooke's sound is truly his own. Cooke's discography may be smaller than that of his brother, but each album is a masterpiece in its own right. From the seductive grooves of "Do You Wanna Dance" to the soul-stirring balladry of "Take Me Back", Cooke's music is a testament to the power of soul and R&B. Despite his undeniable talent, Cooke has always preferred to stay out of the spotlight. He shies away from interviews and press events, preferring instead to let his music speak for itself. But for those lucky enough to have seen him perform live, Cooke's charisma and stage presence are truly something to behold. In a music industry that often prizes fame and fortune over artistry, L.C. Cooke is a rare gem. His music may not have topped the charts, but it has touched the hearts of those who have had the pleasure of listening. And for that, we should all be grateful.
