"A Change Is Gonna Come" was written and first recorded in 1963 by R&B singer-songwriter Sam Cooke, and released shortly after his death in late 1964.
Though only a modest hit for Cooke in comparison with his previous singles, the song came to exemplify the 1960's Civil Rights Movement.
The song has gained in popularity and critical acclaim in the decades since it's release.
