Much like his contemporary Ray Charles, the legendary Sam Cooke successfully synthesized a blend of gospel music and secular themes that provided the early foundation of soul music. This excellent CD contains the most celebrated songs of Cooke’s career. It includes secular pop classics such as “You Send Me,” “Wonderful World,” “Chain Gang,” “Having a Party,” “Bring It On Home to Me,” and “Twistin’ the Night Away,” just to name a few. Besides being widely regarded as the finest smashes of Sam Cooke’s discography, all of these remastered gems are among the greatest songs in soul history.
