The Sounds of Sam,
By A Customer
This review is from: Jesus Gave Me Water (Audio CD)
Sam Cooke was simply amazing. His voice is one of a kind and NOBODY can come close to imitating his voice. This album showed the side of Sam early in his career when he used his soft tenor voice. Later on, it became rough and raspy, but it still remained the best I have ever heard. Sam's legacy will live on forever. This is truly a remarkable album.

Mind-blowing!!,
This review is from: Jesus Gave Me Water (Audio CD)
Sam had his work cut out for him when he replaced the great and enormously popular R.H. Harris in the Soul Stirrers...but he not only replaced him, he absolutely redefined the role of the lead tenor, and created soul music in the process. These recordings are incredible...Sam was only 19 when some were recorded! And when you listen to this, remember that this was recorded in the days before multitracking, and you are hearing a single take. That's how good these guys were. An absolute must own.

Sensational Sam Cooke,
By Lynn Walker (Providence, RI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jesus Gave Me Water (Audio CD)
This CD shows Sam at his best, sweet but powerful. He and Paul Foster took the Soul Stirrers into a new era with these songs, a younger, more hopeful and more light hearted kind of Gospel. Sam wrote some of this music, and proved he was a multi-talented star in a time when the competition was immensely tough. Well worth adding to your inspirational collection.
