The song was inspired by various events in Cooke’s life, most prominently when he and his entourage were turned away from a whites-only motel in Louisiana. Cooke felt compelled to write a song that spoke to his struggle and of those around him, and that pertained to the Civil Rights Movement and African Americans.

Joe was the typical fanatic when it came to watching his son compete as a track and field participant and his son, Mike was an exceptional runner. Watching from the sideline it was hard for Joe not to yell encouragement for Mike. The relevance of some typical parents’ comments bothered Joe. He believed in being positive only. The cumbersome presence of unruly adults required a few coaches to require protection! The results of these childish adult actions seemed a furphy reported in the local news, but Joe and the participants knew it to be true.
