These four releases from Sam Cooke are all hybrid dual-layer SACDs
from the folks that brought you the Rolling Stones Reissues. 
 
Sam Cooke 
At the Copa (Abkco SACD)
Sam Cooke at the Copa is an album that divides fans of "Mr. Soul".
Some consider it a landmark recording in the history of soul music, an
album that captured a defining moment in Sam's career. Other refer to
it as "supper club soul", a watering down of the genius that was Sam
Cooke. Whatever your thinking, it's clear that Sam Cooke himself --
who made no secret of his desire to "cross over" to the older, white
audiences that frequented clubs like the Copa -- considered his 1964
triumph at the club to be a career milestone. With Abkco's latest SACD
treatment, that milestone is now more clear, detailed and better
sounding than ever before!
SACD - $17.99    Sam Cooke 
Portrait of a Legend (Abkco SACD)
This is a new Sam Cooke compilation representing 30 unmistakable cuts
from the artist Atlantic Records' Jerry Wexler proclaimed as "the best
singer who ever lived, no contest!" This package includes all the
performances you would expect to find from "Touch the Hem of his
Garmet" and "You Send Me" to "Twistin' The Night Away" and "Having A
Party". The booklet includes extensive notes on every cut including
every musician on every track. This hybrid SACD captures one of the
world's finest soul singers and now you can hear these cuts the way
the artist and producer originally intended! Highly recommended!

Sam Cooke 
Keep Movin' On (Abkco SACD)
Released in early 2002, this is essentially a "Greatest Hits, volume
2" collection (with the original "Greatest Hits" CD from RCA serving
as volume 1). The highlight of this disc is the previously unreleased
title track, only recently discovered. Several of the songs are
unavailable on other collections, while others are much-loved classics
like "Shake", "Another Saturday Night", "(Somebody) Ease MY Troubled
Mind" and his greatest achievement"A Change Is Gonna Come". Each of
the songs, however, reveal the depth and power of his magnificent
voice.
SACD - $17.99    Sam Cooke 
Ain't That Good News (Abkco SACD)
The last studio record of Cooke's lifetime, this 1964 release offers a
lot of superb material including the stellar "A Change is Gonna Come"
as well as the title track. The album explores many different sounds
including Gospel, New Orleans, Pop and even Folk all delivered with
Cooke's signature soul sound. Cooke had just set upon a new musical
journey with Ain't That Good News, as he had a new record contract,
freedom to choose his own sidemen and was exploring new musical
territory and the results were amazing.
SACD - $11.99
