Sam Cooke remains one of my favorite male singers of all time
If you're a Sam Cooke fan this CD definitely belongs in your collection. It mostly has his popular hits in it, but there are a couple of his gospel songs. An addition I truly appreciated was the booklet that came with the CD. It gave 'the story behind the music'. For example, did you know Sam...

Great Music
This is a great album for anyone who appreciates good music, harmony, and singing. Sam Cooke was a one of a kind singer whose style cannot be imitated who was taken from us too soon. It is amazing that this guy had so many hit songs at such a young age. I think the song "Chain Gang" is one of his...

THE GREATEST
I remember when Muhammed Ali beat Sonny Liston; while being interviewed ringside, Ali spotted Sam Cook in the crowd and demanded he be led up to and into the ring. I couldn't help thinking at the time I was seeing the greatest boxer for all times and the greatest singer in the same space and...

Best single disc representation of one of, if not THE, greatest male soul vocalists ever
I'm only 27, but growing up, my dad helped me develop an interest in what is truly some of the greatest music ever made, and Sam Cooke was a frequent favorite around the house, in the car, or wherever. I'll bet if he was still alive today, he'd be just as big as he was in the 50s & 60s. It's hard...

GREAT CD
This music was before my time, so I didn't realize he did all these songs I've heard over the years. All of them are really good and my least favorite grow on you the more you listen. Amazing talent. So glad I bought it!

Portrait of a Legend 1951-1964
Sam Cooke was a very gifted singer; he could sing any kind of song and lyrics. Just hear him sing, "You Send Me", and then "A Change Is Gonna Come", to know what I mean.

You can't go wrong here!!!
If you like Sam Cooke you will love this CD. It is packed full of Sam Cooke classics and a few odd tracks. This is one of those CD's you can listen to from start to finish without skipping tracks (some of that has to do with the fact it's a compilation). 30 songs are on this including by not...
