Free Music Review: His legacy still lives on
Hit: 5 Stars
It is 40 ago this very day that Sam Cooke perished in his own misaventure.He has been a huge influnce on many pop and soul singers (including Otis Redding who died in a tragic air crash 37 years ago today )I'm not gonna go into length about this collection which i've had for a year but to slimply say that this the best single CD of his classic recordings. As one reviewer puts it as the quality of modern music reaches a sharp decline will a change ever come? I don't think so.This collection IS real music with a message and emotion.This collection is the QUINESSENTIAL SAM COOKE.Free Music Review: You can't go wrong here!!!

If you like Sam Cooke you will love this CD. It is packed full of Sam Cooke classics and a few odd tracks. This is one of those CD's you can listen to from start to finish without skipping tracks (some of that has to do with the fact it's a compilation). 30 songs are on this including by not limited to: Cupid, chain gang, sugar dumpling, twistin the night away, only sixteen, and you send me. Just writing about it makes me want to jump out of my seat and put it in the CD player. This is a good purchase for anyone who does not own a Sam Cooke CD. This is a great place to start.Free Music Review: OH ANY SAM COOKE COLLECTION IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
it's sam cooke!!!!! come on now!!!!! this collection is stellar. i heard it at barnes and noble and i wanted to listen to it again. my favorites are CUPID, WIN YOUR LOVE FOR ME, BRING IT ON HOME TO ME (forget the remakes!!!!!), TWISTIN' THE NIGHT AWAY, EVERYBODY LIKES TO CHA CHA CHA, and of couse, A CHANGE IS GONNA COME (forget the remakes again!!!!!). he is another one that died too soon. i really wish he would've made a better choice. i wonder what he would've done in the 70s and early 80s myself. get this, it's ESSENTIAL!!!!Free Music Review: A legend in his own right

This is a great cd to own.I loved all the songs. Sam Cooke has a great voice and he was one of the greatlegendary singer of his time. His voice captivate you and his storytelling is wonderful through out most of the songs. I love his voice and I have not heard anyone that came close to duplicating his voice. He is great songwriter as well. The songs are very romantic. I just love to listen to his voice. "A change is gonna come" is so realistic and heartfelt song. I wish he could been around to witness this change in the world.Free Music Review: I would highly recommend this one!
Hit: 5 Stars
Loved it! It had all of the great songs on there, and is well worth the money. Actually, it's probably not enough money that I paid for the large, inclusive collection of hits by Sam Cooke! This CD is wonderful. I highly recommend it for anyone who is a huge Sam Cooke fan. All original songs. Great sound quality. Includes all of the hits - and not just a few hits and a lot of other stuff that was never a hit. Very good collection. Whoever put this together did a great job.
