5.0 out of 5 stars The best available Sam Cooke compilation, March 18, 2001

Now that The Man and His Music has gone out of print, this is, to the best of my knowledge, the ONLY compilation that has Chain Gang, Wonderful World, Cupid and Another Saturday Night, which are in my opinion the four best songs of the masterful Sam Cooke, one of the great musical talents of the sixties who combined r and b, soul, gospel and rock into a unique style all his own. For some reason most Cooke compilations exclude one or more of these great great tunes, and in fact I don't think Another Saturday Night is available anywhere else. Excellent sound too.

The incomparable Sam Cooke, makes anyone blessed and feel happy. We researched about 8 titles, until deciding on this one. It includes the best tracks, and for the price, is wonderful. Sam's music can turn a bad day around quickly, with his tender ballads, love songs, and soulful vocals. What an artist. My favorite is "Cupid", then "Another Saturday Night", "Only Sixteen", and others. Sound quality is great.

5.0 out of 5 stars The REAL GodFather of Soul, January 9, 2007

This CD captures the essence of who Sam Cooke was and the intensity of his love for music. Had Sam Cooke not died young, he would have been the GodFather of Soul. Like many before him, he started with Gospel music and went on to mainstream on his own. My favorite Sam Cooke song is "LITTLE RED ROOSTER!"

I highly recommend this CD as well as looking into the man who was Sam Cooke.
