Leon Bridges Cooke Quotations

I love the pioneers like Sam Cooke and Otis Redding, but when I write music, it comes out in my own way.

I want people to see an honesty within me. I'm not trying to be the next Sam Cooke or Otis Redding.

The first time I heard Sam Cooke was in the 'Malcom X' film. I was with my father, and that's the first time I heard his song. I remember my father telling me the story of Sam Cooke.
