Songwriter and performer Sam Cooke (1931-1964) was one of the most popular and influential black singers to emerge in the late ’50s. Much like his contemporary Ray Charles, Cooke successfully synthesized a blend of gospel music and secular themes that provided the early foundation of soul music. This excellent LP contains 20 of the finest moments and most celebrated songs of Sam Cooke’s career.
