Sam Cooke

• COLLECTOR`S DIGIPACK SERIES

The legendary Sam Cooke (who died tragically at the age of 33) left an indelible mark on the face of popular music. 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 CD contains 30 of the best moments and most celebrated songs of Sam Cooke’s career. It includes secular pop classics such as “You Send Me,” “Wonderful World,” “Chain Gang,” “Win Your Love,” “Having a Party,” “Bring It On Home to Me,” and “Twistin’ the Night Away,” just to name a few. Beside being widely regarded as the finest smashes of Sam Cooke’s discography, all of these remastered gems are among the greatest songs in soul history.
