Awards
Rolling Stone magazine's 100 Greatest Singers Of All Time – Ranked No. 4
Reviews:
"...He had an incomparable voice. Sam Cooke could sing anything and make it work. But when you're talking about his strength as a singer, range is not relevant. It was his power to deliver — it was about his phrasing, the totality of his singing," Van Morrison, Rolling Stone magazine
“Originally released in August 1962 under the title The Best of Sam Cooke, Volume 1 [RCA 2625], this album was reissued in 1965 as The Best of Sam Cooke [RCA 3466, later RCA 3863]. An above-average greatest hits collection, although no sampler could fully convey Sam Cooke's genius.” AllMusic Review by Ron Wynn
