Biography

Sam Cooke, born on January 22, 1931, in Clarksdale, MS, was a pioneering soul singer and composer known for bridging gaps between black and white audiences. He began his music career in gospel groups before achieving mainstream success with hits like "You Send Me" and "Cupid." Cooke founded his own record label and publishing company to expand his reach in the music industry.

In the early 1960s, Cooke signed with RCA Records and released a mix of pop and soul singles, including "Chain Gang" and "Twistin' the Night Away." His song "A Change Is Gonna Come" became a powerful anthem for the civil rights movement. Tragically, Cooke passed away on December 11, 1964, leaving behind a legacy that influenced artists like Otis Redding and the Rolling Stones. Despite his untimely death, Cooke's music continues to resonate with audiences across generations.

Artist Affinity estimates how strongly an artist's audience overlaps with interest in specific brands, products, and categories. It is derived from aggregated social and behavioral signals—who fans follow, save, click, and engage with—normalized across platforms. Higher affinity suggests better partnership fit and higher likelihood that fans will respond positively to branded content or offers. Use it to shortlist natural brand partners and product concepts that feel authentic to the audience. Combine affinity with Connection Strength (ER) and reach to balance fit with impact. Treat affinity as directional—validate with creative tests and small pilots before scaling.

ER = (likes + comments + shares) ÷ audience per post ≥ 3.0% = Very Strong 2.0–2.99% = Strong 1.0–1.99% = Moderate < 1.0% = Low

How to read it: Pair ER with reach (views/followers) to gauge intensity and scale.
