Best compilations since 1986
Of all the books, DVD's and CD's that came out in the last few years in an apparent surge of new Sam Cooke interest this CD must be the best available.The best so far had been the now really hard to get 'Man And His Music' but this CD mixes the best of his days as a gospel star with his own best work that he wrote himself and some of the best covers.It does show that besides being one of the greatest singers he was also a very good songwriter who wrote some of the most amazing soul songs ever.The CD really gives you a good oversight of his career and is trealy a Portrait of a Legend. The portrait becomes even more complete with the great liner notes in the CD.The package is also great, a good cardboard cover and not one of those usual plastic cases.If you want to buy one Sam Cooke and don't want to spend too much, get this one.
