Cooke Sam - Cupid - The Very Best Of 1961-1962

Facts By far the most important and influential Gospel and secular R&B singer of his era, honey-voiced Sam Cooke is universally acknowledged as "The man who invented Soul. "This compilation presents all eight singles plus the standout tracks from his five LPs issued during 1961-62, a period during which Cooke was particularly prolific, and hit his first creative peak. It is the follow-up to an earlier Jasmine compilation, Wonderful World (JASCD?152), which traced Cooke's career from 1957-60. Includes a number of his biggest, career-defining hits, notably 'That's It - I Quit - I'm Moving On', 'Cupid', 'Twistin' The Night?Away', 'Bring It On Home To Me', 'Havin' A?Party', 'Nothing Can Change This Love', 'Somebody Have Mercy' and 'Send Me Some Lovin'. Also includes his rarest-ever 45rpm release, 'Just For You'/'Made For Me'; both sides are hard to find elsewhere on CD.
