Description
By far the most important and influential Gospel and secular R&B singer of his era, honey-voiced Sam Cooke is universally acknowledged as "The man who invented Soul." This compilation presents all eight singles plus the standout tracks from his five LPs issued during 1961-62, a period during which Cooke was particularly prolific, and hit his first creative peak.
It is the follow-up to an earlier Jasmine compilation, 'Wonderful World', which traced Cooke's career from 1957-60.
Includes a number of his biggest, career-defining hits, notably "That's It - I Quit - I'm Moving On", "Cupid", "Twistin' The Night Away", "Bring It On Home To Me", "Havin' A Party", "Nothing Can Change This Love", "Somebody Have Mercy" and "Send Me Some Lovin".
Also includes his rarest-ever 45rpm release, "Just For You/Made For Me"; both sides are hard to find elsewhere on CD.
