2 LPs ON 1 CD + 5 BONUS TRACKS
The legendary Sam Cooke left an indelible mark on the face of popular music. He was the inventor of SOUL music and one of the most important singers and composers of his genre. Without a doubt, he had one of the smoothest, most soulful voices around. This quintessential release features two of Cooke’s classic albums, originally issued by the RCA Victor label: Twistin’ the Night Away (1962) and Swing Low (1960). These LPs contain some of Cooke’s finest songs, including well known hits such as “Twistin’ The Night Away”, “Somebody Have Mercy”, “Chain Gang”, and “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot”, among others. Long unavailable, both albums have finally been remastered and packaged together in this special collector’sedition, that also includes 5 bonus tracks from the same period. There’s no better proof of Sam Cooke’s genius than these soulful, joyous, passionate, stylish and exuberant recordings.
