I've often wondered what would have been like if Sam Cooke and Michael Jackson were introduced to each other. Chances are, they could have been the best of friends; in addition, to Sam helping Michael cope with his newfound fame. They both became internationally famous a young age, and their lives were never the same after that. Given some of the similarities when it comes to business and taking control over careers, it would have been nice if they had something in common with each other. Michael has cited Sam Cooke as one of his early vocal influences; in addition, to patterning his vocal stylings after him especially when he does some of Sam's trademark yodels when he sings. In my opinion, they could have been good friends; in addition, to Sam taking Michael under his wing. Michael has had numerous celebrity 프렌즈 over the years ranging fromn Marlon Brando to Elizabeth Taylor; as well, as being frequent guests at Neverland ranch.

If Sam and Michael were good friends, Sam would be attending some of his concerts; as well, as visiting him at Neverland Ranch for the weekend. Seeing he didn't know how to dance Sam would have getting private dance lessons in Michael's private dance studio three days a week. Perchance he could have mastered Michael's famous Moonwalk. I also believe that Sam would have been a positive influence in his life, and at least try to his friend. I would have been nice if they were good 프렌즈 for the reason Sam was real down-to-earth like Michael, but whenever he felt threatened, he would stand up for himself. They were both musical geniuses; as well, as shrewd astute businessmen. After all, Sam Cooke paved the way for other black recording artists like Michael Jackson to have total control over her 음악 careers.
