Hey All, It's Vickie.
Ludie says that Sam Cooke was a good friend of Tammi's. Does anyone know if he has siblings still living...I would like to interview them for the book..they may have been around Sam & Tammi together and have some nice stories to tell. Also, if anyone knows of musicians that played with him during that time (62,63,64) they too may have been around Tammi & Sam...Thanks a bunch. I am inching my way towards a finished book. It's been great so far...One day at a time
Thanks everyone, Vickie

Hi Vickie

You could try starting out at
http://samcooke.tripod.com/

It's a tribute site apparently published by the Cook family.

There's an email address
samcooke@lycos.com

Good luck - and keep us posted!

Peace, Vickie
