Artist: COOKE, SAM
Title: The Wonderful World of Sam Cooke
Label: GET BACK (ITALY)
Format: LP
Price: $20.00
Catalog #: GET 8036
"Released in 1960, The Wonderful World of Sam Cooke added more hits to the carnet of this popular vocalist, already at the top with his 1958 self-titled album on Keen which featured one of the greenest evergreens in the entire history of early soul: the legendary 'You Send Me.' Some of the best soul ballads interpreted by Cooke in his sadly short career are included here and alternated with several tunes that come from his spiritual and gospel background with the Soul Stirrers, like 'I Thank God' and the beautiful 'That's Heaven To Me'."

Title: Sam Cooke
Label: GET BACK (ITALY)
Format: LP
Price: $20.00
Catalog #: GET 8042
"Former gospel wonder and member since 1951 of the Soul Stirrers, Sam Cooke was brought to Keen Records (from 1957 to 1959) by the A&R man of Cooke's previous label, Specialty, 'Bumps' Blackwell. Blackwell's orchestra is also featured in this awesome collection of some of Cooke's best hits, starting with the 1957 breakthrough masterpiece 'You Send Me' and unwinding through other gems like the impressive rendition of Fats Wallers' 'Ain't Misbehavin'' and the traditional 'The Bells Of St. Mary's.' Unforgettable."

Title: I Thank God
Label: GET BACK (ITALY)
Format: LP
Price: $20.00
Catalog #: GET 8047
"This 1960 album originally released on Keen will amaze all who were not aware that Sam Cooke was a gospel wonder before becoming a soul music star. But gospel and soul are so strictly bonded that Cooke often went back to his first musical love like in this collection of Spirituals with guest artists like The Blind Boys and The Gospel Harmonettes. If you're eager to complete your overview of African American music, you should not miss this album."

Title: Encore
Label: GET BACK (ITALY)
Format: LP
Price: $20.00
Catalog #: GET 8052
"It's difficult to resist Sam Cooke's amazing vocals, trained by his long apprenticeship with gospel choirs. Magnificent pop songs and ballads of the calibre of 'Along The Navajo Trail', 'Mary, Mary Lou' and 'My Foolish Heart' fill the grooves of Cooke's second album, originally released on Keen in 1958 and now reissued on Get Back for all searchers of long out of print gems."


Artist: COOKE, SAM
Title: Peace In The Valley
Label: GET BACK (ITALY)
Format: LP
Price: $21.00
Catalog #: GET 8063LP
"Sam Cooke joined the Soul Stirrers back in 1951, replacing their lead singer R.H. Harris, right after the Stirrers signed with Specialty records. Guided by the former teen wonder soon to be a superstar of early R'n'B, despite his premature death in 1964, the Soul Stirrers are here portrayed at their best with 14 tunes of pure gospel feeling. On these grooves you can listen to classics like 'Jesus Gave Me Water,' 'Any Day Now' and the title track, 'Peace In The Valley' for a sensational journey into the time machine of spirituality and devotion."
