Cooke, Sam - RCA Albums Collection - 8 CDs Boxed Set

Sam Cooke - also known as the "King Of Soul" for his distinctive voice - was influential both as a singer and composer and particularly important for the development of popular music.

Like most R&B artists of his time, Sam Cooke focused on recording singles, had 29 Top 40 hits on the pop charts and even more on the R&B charts. Cooke's Tour was Sam Cooke's fifth studio album and his first for RCA Victor. Glen Osser wrote the arrangements and conducted the recording orchestra, which consisted of an R&B rhythm section and a fifteen-piece string ensemble.

Albums 1 to 6 were remastered by Vic Anesini, 7 and 8 by Bob Ludwig, both highly respected specialists in their fields.

The box contains a 24-page booklet with a story about Sam Cooke, beautiful photos and the complete information for all eight CDs, all from The RCA Albums Collection.
