Hit: 5 Stars
Sam Cooke should be considered like Nat King Cole and Johnny Mathis as an expert of soul and pop. With an occasional format on oldies' stations, Sam Cooke's legacy deserves a revival for uninitiated audiences. Remarkably, the production of his songs is clear and smooth, fitting for his voice. The instrumentation and backing vocals did the soul singer proud. He could do pop crooner songs with prefection on "Only Sixteen," "What a Wonderful World," and "Cupid". But his festive party numbers could still bring the kids onto the dancefloor, including "Everybody Loves to Cha Cha Cha," and "Twistin' the Night Away,". To further his repertoire, "Bring It on Home to Me" showcases a rockabilly start and a soulful piano for a substantive hidden nugget waiting to be rediscovered. The engaging lyrics are quick to please, but "Chain Gang" increases the scope to social commentary. The three bonus tracks sound like they belonged there in the first place, rather than tiresome encores. Only one complaint is deserved, with the quality and quantity of great Sam Cooke songs, they don't include "Another Saturday Night," one of his greatest songs. I can only conjecture that there were some copyright disputes, but this omission doesn't stop the album from its high stature.
