Much like his contemporary Ray Charles, Cooke successfully synthesized a blend of gospel music and secular themes that provided the early foundation of soul music. Cooke's pure, clear vocals were widely imitated, and his suave, sophisticated image set the style for soul crooners for the next decade. This LP contains 20 of the finest moments and most celebrated songs of Sam Cooke's career. All these fabulous tracks continue to stand the test of time. There is no better proof of Cooke's genius than these soulful, joyous, exuberant, stylish, and passionate recordings.
