Legendary Sam Cooke, famous for hit songs such as "Twistin' The Night Away," "Chain Gang," "Summertime" and "Wonderful World, " was an American singer songwriter, civil-rights activist and entrepreneur.  Influential as both a singer and composer, he is commonly known as the "King of Soul."  Carla Cooke, Sam's youngest daughter, mirrors the image of her father in her daily life and through her performances.  Carla crafted her sound in the church similar to her dad's.  On this very special tour, she reconnects her audience with her father's roots through his music.

Carla is currently on tour with the "Ultimate Sam Cooke Experience Tribute" with her band Agape Nation, where she performs unforgettable hit songs of her father’s and shares intimate stories about his life and music. Carla has been on tour with "The Daughters of Rhythm and Blues." Don't miss this opportunity to journey with Carla!
