Sam Cooke was an American gospel/R&B/soul/pop singer, songwriter and entrepreneur. He is recognized as one of the founders of soul music and one of the most important singers in soul music history. Born on January 22, 1931 in Clarksdale, Mississippi, USA, he tragically passed away on December 11, 1964 in Los Angeles, California, USA. Although details about his death are still disputed, official police records state that he was killed by a gunshot. Sam Cooke was also inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1986 (Performer) and the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1987.

The legendary Sam Cooke (who died tragically at the age of 33) left an indelible mark on the face of popular music. Much like his contemporary Ray Charles, Cooke successfully synthesized a blend of gospel music and secular themes that provided the early foundation of soul music. This excellent CD contains thirty of the best moments and most celebrated songs of Sam Cooke's career. It includes secular pop classics such as You Send Me, Wonderful World, Chain Gang, Win Your Love, Having a Party, Bring It On Home to Me, and Twistin' the Night Away just to name a few. Besides being widely regarded as the finest smashes of Sam Cooke's discography, all of these remastered gems are among the greatest songs in soul history.
