Editorial Reviews

Product description

Disc mint in factory jewel case as seen. We ship worldwide from San Francisco bay area.

Amazon.com

A 28-track best-of giving conclusive proof that soul's doomed golden boy was a singer of exquisite control and grace. Opening with a couple of Soul Stirrers gospel gems, The Man & His Music packs together most of Cooke's great pop sides, from the airily lovely "You Send Me" all the way to the majestic "A Change Is Gonna Come." Some of the cuts are more twee than others--it's rare that he touches the soulful pinnacles of "Bring It on Home to Me" or "That's Where It's At," and too often he descends to dross like "When a Boy Falls in Love." Even on the more winsome hits, though, he remains a peerless vocal artist. And when you finally get to "Change," it's hard not to feel despair at Cooke's premature death. --Barney Hoskyns

Love Sam Cook but this is not what the collection I expected, my mistake. Will be ordering " The Legendary Sam Cook" , from another seller. But this is perfect for what it is. Love it!

true inspiration for a lot of great singers.......

this right here is the only sam cooke compilation that actually matters, the only compilation that actually gets it right. because when other companies put out a sam cooke compilation, 1 or more songs get left off in the mix that would have made that cd a perfect set, not this one......this cd came out in 1986, and has only gotten better over the years. all of sam's phases are covered, with a couple of gospel tunes from his days with the soul stirrers, and tunes from his different labels. and when you put the cd on, you just want to let it play out until the end, when it reaches its dramatic climax with one of sam's signature tunes, "a change is gonna come". if you are a sam cooke lover or somebody who is looking to start somewhere in buying a sam cooke cd, 'the man and his music" is an A+ plus choice for you musical pleasure!

Must-have collection for any soul music lovers

Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2009

Verified Purchase

A wide-reaching collection of Sam Cooke songs. I've admired his singing for many years, but I've never found a collection that spans his entire career like this--from gospel to pop to soul. Unless you have every album he ever recorded, you'll probably find songs on this CD that you've never heard before, and then you'll get to rediscover his remarkable talent all over again. If you love Cooke already, buy this album, and if you're not sure yet, here's the place to find out. My favorites include "Meet me at Mary's Place", "Twistin' the Night Away", and "Change is Gonna Come". If this amazing singer/songwriter had only lived longer, we'd have more classics like these.

The Best R&B Singer in American Musical History

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2013

Sam Cooke is like vintage wine to those who love elegance, culture, history and daily human drama of living and loving.
He is both cosmopolitan and gritty, caviar and collard greens in a smooth blend of story-telling and the search for true
love that drives Mankind here and around the world. Sam Cooke's music harkens back to a more innocent time, a more
gentle time and somehow more trusting in the overall faith in our nation as the best today and yesterday.

Words and music as touching as the gentle brush of an angel's wing.The world lost a treasure with his untimely death. I'm thankful we can still get his music. I remember listening to him on my transistor radio, then on 45 records, and lord the 8 track tapes was top of the line, and now the cd's are like bening in the room with him. Life is good!

Good time music.....

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 14, 2015

Verified Purchase

Good time music..... I've always loved Sam Cooke's music, which I discovered 40 years ago (makes me feel old....) back then I bought the "This is Sam Cooke" RCA double album, which I still have now. Later, I had "The man and his music" on a cassette, which over the years, got lost, so I replaced it with this disc. Most of the favourites are here, i like " Twistin the night away" and "Good Times". Shame that "Summertime" is not included, but I have another great compilation "Portrait of a legend" which has this track on there. Thinking about getting Sam's box set with various albums, might yet treat myself to it, but this disc and "Legend" will cover most listener's requirements.

The quality and the power of the music.

Utterly brilliant. The range and variety was just a pleasure to listen to. A Change is Gonna Come rightly has its place in the Hall of Fame. I'm not a religious person but Sam makes gospel easy to listen to. Can't recommend this album highly enough.

E' incredibile come molte raccolte di Sam Cooke non contengano "A Change is gonna Come", ho dovuto cercare parecchio e in questa vecchia versione dell'86 l'ho trovata; si tratta quindi di un greatest hits pressoché perfetto... il booking è inesistente quindi una stella in meno.
