Product ReviewsSam Cooke - Portrait of a Legend 1951-1964 (2003)

THE FANTASTIC SAM COOKE!

Love this album! Brings me back to when I was many, many years younger. Sam Cooke's voice is fantastic. My son (who is in his forties) was listening to it the other day and said how great it is to hear this brilliant voice. I don't suppose he knows much about Sam Cooke, but was interested to know more about him. I would definitely recommend this album - there is so much to it!Read full review...

Pure Class

Such a smooth voice, but so soulful. No overdone histrionics, just pure class. Modern singers could learn so much from Sam Cooke.
