CARLA COOKE: A TIME TO REMEMBER
Carla’s future mirrors the image of her father, and her style is diverse in Gospel, Christian, R&B, Soul, Pop and the contemporary sound that embraces today’s culture. Her latest album is “A Time to Remember” which covers renditions of her father’s hit songs including “A Change Gone Come”, “Summertime” and “Lost and Looking” as well as several of her original compositions.
Carla crafted her sound in the church similar to her dad and never sought to use her father’s name but to build her own reputation as many do. Now the younger Cooke knows her father’s roots are so deep that Carla has become her own person and connects with her roots through her father’s music. With a strong vocal range and warm personality, Carla’s stage presence commands the environment wherever she performs. Carla has performed in concert with the Legendary Four Tops and Freda Payne, and has toured with “The Daughters of Rhythm and Blues” and as a featured artist with Jeff Pitchell and Texas Flood. 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 and shares intimate stories about her Father’s life and music. Don’t miss the journey Carla will take you on with her performances.
Carla Cooke proves that the apple does not fall far from the tree as she gives the listener the raw talent, emotion, beauty and charisma that has her carrying the Cooke family torch musically into the new millennium. www.CarlaCooke.com
