Zusammenfassung:	Reviews the new biography (William Morrow and Company, 1995, 424p, $23.00) of the African-American singer who came from gospel roots to become "The Man who Invented Soul Music." Beginning with the release of the song "You Send Me" in 1957, Cooke contributed many famous popular songs to the genre, becoming one of the first African-Americans to create his own record label before his still unsolved murder at age 33. This is a fascinating portrait of the artist and his times.
