Sam Cooke - Greatest Hits

Amazon.com
Now we have Greatest Hits, a 22-song collection of Cooke's pop hits in addition to the 13-song Best Of collection and the 28-song The Man and His Music. Only The Man comes close to presenting a complete portrait of the legendary soul singer: At least there are examples of Cooke's gospel and R&B material. (Any collection without "A Change is Gonna Come" is an automatic failure.) Cooke's melodious voice and deft songwriting touch are worthy of more than a single-disc compilation. If you want just the pop smashes, the sublime ballads, and infectious mellow grooves, this set will suffice. Otherwise, The Man offers a more comprehensive and well-rounded look at Cooke's legacy. --Marc Greilsamer

It's called Greatest for a REASON.......2007-05-14

Like always, Sam Cooke delivers a sweet smooth velvety cruning that I just love. I think anyone who likes that old 50S-60s cruning sound will love it too. I t has all his best songs.

Sam Cooke- Greatest Hits.......2006-11-04

disappointed.......2006-08-10

Portrait of A Legend is much much better, wished that I hadn't bothered to buy this one as well as "Portrait"

DO NOT BUY THIS!!!.......2006-04-10

This compilation is completely worthless. The SACD "Portrait of a Legend" has long since eclipsed this unforgivable compilation of The Great Sam Cooke. It is completely unessential. There is no musical representation from Sam's glorious gospel days nor his ambitious and wonderfully risk taking final days. I can't believe this is even in print. People may say "Oh its just for casual Sam Cooke fans or for those who would like to start getting into his music." I don't even think there is a such thing as a "casual" Sam Cooke fan! The best inroduction to Sam is "Portrait of a Legend" and from there get "Keep Movin' On" "Live at Harlem Square" "At The Copa" "Sam Cooke with The Soul Stirrers" and the flawless "Night Beat." From there seek out the three box sets and then songs and albums that can only be found on vinyl. This would have received zero stars but Sam's voice is so transcendent it makes up for every flaw I described. :o)
