Free Music Notes for Complete Recordings of Sam Cooke with the Soul Stirrers
Free Music Review: Finally, Sam Cooke gospel in one package!
Hit: 5 Stars
Being a fan of Sam Cooke is easly to explain-just listen to the music. And the correct music to listen to is his gospel work. The polish had not been applied and what one is left with is pure emotion tempered with an understanding that something greater lies ahead. Sam Cooke allowed gospel to cross the line to mass appeal thus creating the "storm" of r & b and other race music that was to come. When you look at the history, the split from Jubilee occurs with the introduction of Sam Coook to the Soul Stirrers. Each generation must build upon what they have been given. In each genre we find this occuring and gospel is no exception. Each disc in this series contains music that shows how the idiom can be changed when the right individual comes along at the right time. Sam Cook is that individual with the right voice. Although I enjoy each voice on these disc's, and believe me I have listened to hear what each man sings, Sam's voice is the one that brings it all together.
I was once told that Sam, as a young boy, would sing to rocks, his audience. This is the type effort that you hear in his songs. Only by dedicating oneself to your craft can you hope to achieve greatness. I don't mean to belittle the remainder of the Soul Stirrers 'cause no other group was able to do for the background what they were able to do. Don't believe me, listen to the groups around at that time. They were still doing Jubilee songs until the 'Stirrers' started the dual lead vocals, stacked harmonies in the background and instrumentation.
Let me encourage you to go directly to the live recordings on disc 3 and witness the raw emotion of Sam Cooke and Paul Foster at the '55 Shrine Concert. If you are able to remove all your preconceived notions about Sam Cooke as well as the commercial r & b recordings you have heard, you will hear why gospel had to change to accommodate his natural ability. Close your eyes and hear all, and I mean all, of the artists who would follow in Sam's footsteps--black and white(Rod Steward, Marvin Gaye, Mick Jagger, etc.). I just hope to one day find some material with Sam and the Highway QC's. Until then...

Title: COMPLETE SPECIALTY RECORDINGS OF SAM COOKE WITH TH
Street Release Date: 10/22/2002
Genre: OLDIES
While the pop classics by the grit-and-honey singer reached a broader audience, Sam Cooke's formative music with the Soul Stirrers, recorded for the Specialty label, ranks with both his best and gospel's best. Only 19 when he was recruited in 1950 to replace the group's venerable R.H. Harris, Cooke developed the signature style he would carry into the popular arena while he was still singing church music. Disc 1 shows the raw passion of a vocalist who has yet to apply the polish for which he would become known. By disc 2, Cooke is no longer tentative in replacing a legend but asserting an irrepressible musical identity. Disc 3 demonstrates his growth as both a vocal master and an ambitious songwriter--most famously on "Touch the Hem of His Garment"--while documenting his transition as a solo artist into the secular arena. Among the revelations of the set's 83 tracks, the stripped-down arrangements on the alternate takes of "Come and Go to That Land" anticipate the rise of "sacred steel," while the vocal call-and-response over the organ bedrock of "All Right Now" is as rapturous as gospel gets. After the various takes of "Were You There?" show how Cooke could take the most familiar material and make it his own, the final three tracks capture his electrifying impact in live performance. --Don McLeese
