A substantial collection of approximately twenty-nine 7-inch singles by the influential American soul pioneer Sam Cooke, comprising an impressive run of UK releases spanning much of his recording career. The collection includes many of Cooke's best-known recordings, among them Wonderful World, You Send Me, Cupid, Chain Gang, Bring It On Home To Me, Twistin' The Night Away, Another Saturday Night, Shake, Tennessee Waltz, Meet Me At Mary's Place and numerous other classic releases. Represented across a variety of period labels including His Master's Voice, London, RCA Victor, RCA, Specialty, Keen and Chérie, the group offers a broad overview of Cooke's remarkable contribution to popular music. Of particular note is a genuine UK HMV white-label demonstration record of There I've Said It Again, issued as a promotional copy and not intended for commercial sale. Widely regarded as one of the founding figures of modern soul music, Cooke's influence can be heard throughout subsequent generations of soul, rhythm and blues and popular music, making this an appealing collection for both collectors and enthusiasts alike.
