TINA: Song

A Change Is Gonna Come

is a song by American singer-songwriter Sam Cooke. It initially appeared on his album „Ain't That Good News,“ released mid-February 1964. Tina Turner recorded a studio version of the song in 1987, only released in Germany on the soundtrack album Zabou. In 1991, a remixed version was included into the sampler Music of Quality and Distinction (Vol. 2) from B.E.F. Tina performed it also live for her Break Every Rule special, released first on TV and later on home video, with Robert Cray playing guitar. This version was a single in England, taken from the album Live In Europe.
