A Change Is Gonna Come
In this corner, we have Sam Cooke's original "A Change Is Gonna Come" in 1964 ...
And in this corner, we have Seal's just released remake ...
This was tough, but sorry Seal. I went with Sam Cooke. Seal's got the smooth voice and a range in power, but the experiences of growing up under Jim Crow and segregation just isn't there. My vote's for Sam Cooke.

Great choice, Dis.
In boxing, it's said you have to solidly beat the Champion in order to take the belt. While Seal's version is admirable, it certainly didn't have that knock-out blow.
One more vote for the Champ.
