Sam Cooke - The Best of Sam Cooke (1962) Flac[24Bit 96KHz Vinyl]

=========================================


The Best of Sam Cooke is a 1962 compilation which contains most of Sam Cooke’s most well-known hits from 1957 to 1962.

"…He had an incomparable voice. Sam Cooke could sing anything and make it work. But when you’re talking about his strength as a
singer, range is not relevant. It was his power to deliver — it was about his phrasing, the totality of his singing,"
— Van Morrison, for Rolling Stone magazine’s 100 Greatest Singers Of All Time, ranking Cooke at No. 4
This Best Of Sam Cooke album was the beacon that kept Cooke’s most popular songs in the public eye. Between 1957 and his death
seven years later, Cooke recorded an average of one Top Ten single every four months! And now on this single LP, you
can relive the timeless best known and best-loved Sam Cooke classics.
So good, in fact, was Cooke as a vocalist that Atlantic Records vice president Jerry Wexler said matter-of-factly,
“Sam Cooke was the best singer who ever lived, no contest.” But beyond just his voice, it’s the phrasing that makes these songs
so timeless and memorable. Cooke himself explained it this way: “You just talk the story. That’s how you get people to come
to you – because it’s not like a song, it’s like two people rapping, only with a melody attached. But then when you come to the
hook (‘That’s the sound of the men working on the chain gang’), then you’re free, everybody’s gonna sing that part, you want to
get everybody to sing along.” And they’re still singing along.
