<strong>Sam</strong> <strong>Cooke</strong> the Businessman<br />

This type of control over his material and ability to<br />

maximize profit had never been seen and would become<br />

even more the standard after Ray Charles took things<br />

the same direction. <strong>Sam</strong> used his power with SAR<br />

Records to help start careers of other young black artists<br />

such as Bobby Womack, Johnny Taylor, Billy Preston,<br />

and others. It can be said that he is the first African-<br />

American music mogul. [11]
