Portrait of a Legend 1951-1964

This is a CD of Sam Cooke's songs. He was one of greatest singers of his
time. I always liked his music going way back to the early 1960's. I am
listening to his CD right now as I write this review. Great CD.

This is a great cd to own.I loved all the songs. Sam Cooke has a great voice and he was one of the greatlegendary singer of his time. His voice captivate you and his storytelling is wonderful through out most of the songs. I love his voice and I have not heard anyone that came close to duplicating his voice. He is great songwriter as well. The songs are very romantic. I just love to listen to his voice. "A change is gonna come" is so realistic and heartfelt song. I wish he could been around to witness this change in the world.

Loved it! It had all of the great songs on there, and is well worth the money. Actually, it's probably not enough money that I paid for the large, inclusive collection of hits by Sam Cooke! This CD is wonderful. I highly recommend it for anyone who is a huge Sam Cooke fan. All original songs. Great sound quality. Includes all of the hits - and not just a few hits and a lot of other stuff that was never a hit. Very good collection. Whoever put this together did a great job.

All I have to say is that if you are of the R&B persuasion if you ain't got this one, you ain't got nothing.

Sam Cooke sounds just as great today as he did 44 years ago. Sure some tracks sound dated but the magic voice still carries through. Great CD.
