Product Description

Sam Cooke's influence is as strong as ever 34 years after his untimely death; equally at home on the pop and the soul charts, he was one of the 1st artists to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. This set collects more of Sam's hit songs on 1 CD than any previous compilation; all songs, except for 1, made the Top 40 and all have been lovingly remastered for a new depth and clarity. Includes: "You Send Me," "Twistin' The Night Away," "Another Saturday Night," "Frankie And Johnny" and more!

Now we have Greatest Hits, a 22-song collection of Cooke's pop hits in addition to the 13-song Best Of collection and the 28-song The Man and His Music. Only The Man comes close to presenting a complete portrait of the legendary soul singer: At least there are examples of Cooke's gospel and R&B material. (Any collection without "A Change is Gonna Come" is an automatic failure.) Cooke's melodious voice and deft songwriting touch are worthy of more than a single-disc compilation. If you want just the pop smashes, the sublime ballads, and infectious mellow grooves, this set will suffice. Otherwise, The Man offers a more comprehensive and well-rounded look at Cooke's legacy. --Marc Greilsamer
