I have almost a complete collection of Sam Cooke's songs, with this being one of the exceptions. Just based upon the sound quality alone it's worth the purchase. You'll hear sounds never before experienced in your previous listening experience. Sit back and enjoy a whole new set of sounds, I did!!!!
I love old school music and plus Sam cooke did gospel also. I love the way he sings it come straight from the heart with him. I'm sorry we lost him at a early age.
SAM COOKE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A JOY TO HEAR HE HAS ABILITY TO CUT TO THE HEART OF LOVE WITH HIS SIMPLE YET PROFOUND MESSAGES. HE IS WITHOUT A DOUBT A MASTER OF SOUL,AND SMOOTH SO SMOOTH!
