Somewhere in the distance I can hear "Who Shot Sam?" |
First known performance:
“Upon my first motel night in Los Angeles I was hoaxed into believing that I had been assigned the very room where Sam Cooke had been murdered. I didn't sleep much until I found out in the morning that it had occurred in an entirely different location. Such innocence was short-lived, but the infamous Tropicana became the site of many less serious crimes, indiscretions and comedies.” — Girls Girls Girls liner notes, 1989.
