Our Take

Ah, the smooth crooning of Sam Cooke. The man had a voice like velvet and the charm to match. This Singles Collection showcases some of his biggest hits, all pressed on vibrant red vinyl for that extra touch of flair.

From the iconic "You Send Me" to the soulful "Chain Gang," Cooke's undeniable talent shines through on every track. Each song is a masterclass in emotion and storytelling, leaving you feeling simultaneously uplifted and introspective.

But it's not just Cooke's vocals that steal the show here - the instrumentation is top-notch, with lush arrangements that perfectly complement his soulful voice. The combination of Cooke's silky tones and the tight backing band creates a sound that is pure magic.

Standout tracks include the infectious "Twistin' the Night Away" and the heartfelt "A Change is Gonna Come," which still resonates today. Cooke's ability to tackle both love songs and social issues with equal impact is a testament to his versatility as an artist.

Overall, this Singles Collection is a must-have for any fan of soul music. It's a timeless compilation that showcases the brilliance of Sam Cooke and cements his status as one of the greatest voices of all time. So grab a glass of wine, put on this record, and let Cooke serenade you into the night.
