#JacRoss #AChangeIsGonnaCome #SamCooke - Hudba
My mom gets up every day at 3 am to talk to Jesus. I know that's it her prayers that have kept me going. My grandma taught my mom to talk to Jesus. A few weeks ago my grandma was diagnosed with cancer, last night my grandma was talking to Jesus and He told her He had healed her. All the pain is gone. We woke up at 3 am to talk to Jesus and thank Him. Please join me in thanking Him and making my grandma's miracle whole.
❤
❤
Amen,Amen!
And so it is Done ❤
Old white dude here and I gotta say Jac you did something that took some real courage. You covered perhaps the greatest song from the greatest artist of all time. I LOVED Sam Cooke. His voice was great of course but the lyrics in this song just MOVE me!!! Jac...you NAILED IT Bro! I got the same feeling I had when I first heard it. Bravo!!!
Yes we don't care your color you matter and music is good for our souls ✨️
@@D.Y.M.159 I hear ya YVETTE.
Yes he did, make you think
Make you think it's Sam Cooke!
I'm convinced Sam Cooke's spirit is somewhere deep down inside of you.
That shit was flat out MAGICAL. Anyone who loves music is in my opinion multi-lingual. You speak a genuinely beautiful language. We are all better for having heard it.
You made a grown ass man cry with that voice you are special brother keep doing what your doing what an amazing voice you have!!
Me too brother
You ever heard someone sing and it feels like the world around you gets super quiet like it's just you and the music. My brother your talent is unmatched. Thank you for this... 😌👌🏾
Edit: 750+ likes! Wow, thank you guys! 🥹🫶🏾
I felt that way too 🖤
I closed my eyes and forgot where I was for a moment.
I can listen to him all day
Yes !!!!!
I Bear witness to The Potter's endowment on Jack Ross's Being
I love how you use the pauses PERFECTLY to let the song actually breathe. You absolutely killed this man. Incredible.
Ok... And did 💯
Yes. I agree.
Big facts 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yesss
Most definitely 💯❤️❤️
If I could push the like button a million times I would
Who is here, 2024? Some wonderful keys @2:36 i could them keys flowing thu blood veins and it is raining outside,! Imagine how beautiful it is
Yes 2024🔥🔥😍
Yeah ❤❤❤❤
This dude never disappoints man. Such a unique voice, a standout for sure.
Speaks to my soul!
My sentiments exactly 💣❤🔥
Really? I think you should listen to the cover made by R Kelly.
This song was written for someone with this voice. Well done young man!!
The ancestors are giving you a standing ovation. You've got it! Not everyone can cover classics but you nailed it effortlessly. You've got soul. Keep it up. Great job!!!
I didn't realize I held my breath until I was gasping for air. This song always makes me tear. The lyrics, the storytelling is so relatable, I get very emotional.
Sam Cooke is smiling in heaven, Jac. 💜
Comon guys lets spread the love this guy deserves a million hits for this... lets spread the love family
An inherit “feeling” every black person has when hearing you cover this. We’re so much stronger together & we’re so much more alike than different. I pray we grow together. Thank you for this
Yes ma'am!!
I'd like to say the same, but about the human race as a whole. ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 Always stronger together.
one of my all time favs. the old 62 yr white lady lol. hope I live to see those changes we so badly need
For "everyone" who shows compassion and respect! Got nothing to do with being black, white, brown, or any other color! It's about. Being proud= Integrity!✨
❤️❤️❤️❤️
What hurts is that we’re still waiting for a lot of changes to come. Thank you for this cover.
yes we are. the world is very sick today and we need a cure... fast.
KEEP BELIEVING FOR IT TARRY NOT IT WILL COME. BELIEVE ON WHAT THE SCRIPTURE HAS SAID
Don't live your life waiting for anything; do what you love doing and intelligently remove any barrier standing in your way.
Life is ONLY what you make it, those boats people are waiting on are derelict in their duty.
change yourself instead of waiting on others
@@alcapone8193 This comment clearly didn’t connect or resonate with you and that’s alright :)
The best cover of this song I've heard. He has much of Sam's timbre, which really helps the delivery. Well done.
I can’t even describe the era your voice took me to….you are truly blessed with a voice that tells so many stories…
True!!! Sam would be proud with you keeping it as real as he wrote it.
Words fail me. That was beautiful. The way you rearranged it is amazing. Takes a lot of voice control to do that. It was like butter, my man.
Picking my jaw up off the floor...All i can say is WOW!!!!!!!
Jack, your version isn't just a cover it goes beyond what a cover would be expected to sound like! Thank you for sharing your talent with all of us.
My favorite song. My go-to song when my spirit is distracted. Well done Jac. Not everyone can give this song the respect it requires.
Sam Cooke changed the world with this one song,so powerful and moving one can't help but stop,listen and be totally emersed in it. There have been many covers all good but not quiet at Cooke's level until now that is. This is simply amazing! Cooke himself would have been proud to listen to his song so expertly delivered. 👌
Otis's version is more raw that Sam's original
can't stop the tears 😭😭😭😭 Lord Jesus help us black folk
This man can sing!!!! Thank you Jac...love the Tennessee Whiskey cover as well...voice is butter!
You did Sam Cooke right on this one. "ohhhhh just like the river I've been running ever since"... this gets me everytime. My people are tired. Lil teary eyed right now and soul is heavy. 🥺😔
😭😭😭, 🤗 hugs up homie.
The way his voice makes you understand songs in a way different way than when we first heard it is amazing I love it this is what we need in this world ❤
You just make my spirit fly 🕊️
Spoke to my soul. Absolutely beautiful. Goose bumps, chills. Captivating. ❤️
This is the best version I've ever heard. You have a beautiful voice 🥰
Yea, it's right up there with Gavin DeGraw's version off his Chariot (Stripped) album
Listen to R Kelly version! It's 🔥 🔥!!
Is this is the best one you have heard i think you should listen to the cover made by R kelly
BEST COVER czcams.com/video/9M-Qhkgvoqw/video.html

👏👏 IF Sam Cooke was able to, he’d give THIS cover more than a few ‘likes’, but since he can’t, I will. 👍 X’s MANY MORE! One of the best I’ve heard yet!
JAC ROSS YOU A BAD MAN!!!!! Not Everybody can sing Sam let alone do Him justice. You are the TRUTH
Dawg from singer to singer… I thought you were Sam Cooke… you did this rendition that well.. natural and still honoring the flow, emotion and STORY of the original .. thank you brother
bro i opened the link in a new tab and it was playing in the background, i had to double check to be sure if it was a cover. Goose bumps on my arm right now
I was born by the river, in a little tent
Oh, and just like the river
I've been running ever since
It's been a long
A long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Oh, yes it will
It's been too hard living
But I'm afraid to die
'Cause I don't know what's up there
Beyond the sky
It's been a long
A long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Oh, yes it will
I go to the movie
And I go downtown
Somebody keep telling me
Don't hang around
It's been a long
A long time coming
But I know, a change gonna come
Oh, yes it will
Then I go to my brother
And I say, brother, help me please
But he winds up, knockin' me
Back down on my knees
Oh, there been times that I thought
I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able, to carry on
It's been a long
A long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Oh, yes it will
Have you ever heard TEEKS fron New Zealand 🇳🇿 & Legendary STAN WALKER. They would be a p I erhise with GIVEON & Adele's " hello". Much needed music. Peaches JAMAICA 🇯🇲 HARLEM NYC 🇯🇲 Good luck Mr. Ross.
Oh boy! You made us all proud! Mr. Cooke is smiling right now! ❤
This is a killer rendition of a classic track. Covered endlessly but this perhaps the first time its been done with true, true feeling so faithful and authentic to the original yet still managing to refresh it for 2022. Also the timing of the cover.... perfect. After the world's been through a pandemic and now watching the war in Ukraine. Thank you Jac... yeah, you nailed it alright.
You have mastered this song but please don't be discouraged by what I say, marvin Gaye may have in my opinion sung and performed better than the original. Just my opinion for what it's worth. I will follow you in the future. Thank you bother
@@sirfishalot923 Hey im not the singer, just a humble fellow commenter
The Lord has truly blessed you with a beautiful voice and so much feeling. I could listen to you endlessly... endlessly
this defiantly brings me to the 1960s. this mans voice captures the pain, strength and beauty of that time era.
❤️very beautiful cover
He is another one that were gifted with his voice from God. Amen.
This song is so heart wrenching, I get teary eyed every time hear this. .Way to go Jac💜💜💜
Seems like the more things "change", the more they stay the same 😭💔
Thank you for this beautiful music for all of us to enjoy until REAL CHANGE comes...🎶🙏❤️🩹🙌🙌🙌💞🌎
Such a classic song and such a great amazing voice, pure soul, You should make all an album covering Sam Cooke and Otis Reeding Songs
Tiktok brought me here and im so damn glad it did!!!

Love to Everyone who reads this as 2022 comes near it's end. The last few years have been hard. But, we are gonna make it. ✌️ peace and respect

Kelley, then you hands down. Keep doin what you do my brotha!

Lyrics..
I was born by the river, in a little tent
Oh, and just like the river
I've been running ever since
It's been a long
A long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Oh, yes it will
It's been too hard living
But I'm afraid to die
'Cause I don't know what's up there
Beyond the sky
It's been a long
A long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Oh, yes it will
I go to the movie
And I go downtown
Somebody keep telling me
Don't hang around
It's been a long
A long time coming
But I know, a change gonna come
Oh, yes it will
Then I go to my brother
And I say, brother, help me please
But he winds up, knockin' me
Back down on my knees
Oh, there been times that I thought
I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able, to carry on
It's been a long
A long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Oh, yes it will...

Jack Ross you need to do a tour, first stop UK, I'll definitely get a ticket to see you perform 💯 brotha 👏🏾👊🏾👍🏾
You sang that like you lived it, family. So many cover this song and do t really feel the words. You felt them, ain’t even gotta tell me.
Greetings from the UK, Mr. Ross. I particularly like the song “That River” as performed by yourself in the movie “9 Bullets”. This song by Diane Warren with your unique vocals is now my all time favourite, thank you. I’ve looked everywhere to purchase this one song and would ask you if and when it’ll be released so I can get a personal hard copy, (hopefully signed)😊 I believe that the soundtrack has not yet been released. That River, is an anthem and it reminds me of all the significant people that are no longer with us but we miss them so much that living without them is unbearable. I doubt I’ll hear a better version of this song in this lifetime. Thank you Mr. Ross for massaging my heart and soul and making me feel that ‘everything’s gonna be alright. This song gives you ‘hope’, the strength to move forward. And I will. “I may bend but I won’t break”. Thank you for this wonderful collaboration with yourself and Diane Warren, thank you 🙏🏾 Now I Can Breathe ✊🏾
