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.

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.

Sam Cooke was one of the greatest. If you ever had any doubt, purchase this album and you will be convinced. I have been listening to it daily for years

is the first word that comes to mind upon hearing this set.Sam Cooke lays it on&never let's up.as a Composer,Vocalist He was something else.One of a Kind&this set Highlights His Genius which is a timeless set.

The CD I received through Amazon does not sound as attractive as my LPs. I expected the Cd to have been manufactured by RCA or Sony, but it was manufactured by "Castle Communications (Australasia) Limited". The seller should have pointed this out, certainly that it was manufactured in Australasia.

I am in love with all of Sam Cooke and I got several of this one to pass on to family and friends so they can remember the voice and words of the beautiful Sam Cooke like I do all of the time by singing along with him. I am woman 55 years old and I learned the words to these songs a long time ago and still remember them. I pretend that Sam is singing to me as I help him and all male singers singing about or to a woman that they are singing to me.

I loved all of the songs on this CD. Every song is worth hearing again and again.
