Additional Sam Cooke with the Soul Stirrers Information
|
While Sam Cooke certainly made beautiful music in the pop realm, his greatest sides were those made with the Soul Stirrers. When Cooke joined the group in 1950 at the age of 19, he'd already spent 4 years singing with the Highway Q.C.'s. The Soul Stirrers lead singer, R.H. Harris, who quit just before Cooke's arrival, had spent almost 25 years molding the group into gospel stardom through an innovative use of two lead singers matched with utmost energy and sophistication. Cooke initially sang in a style similar to Harris's, but soon took off into his own unearthly realm, writing spine-tingling songs like "Nearer to Thee," "Mean Old World," and the brilliant "Touch the Hem of His Garment," then singing them in his soaring, inimitable style with perfect control of phrasing and enunciation. This is an awesome collection, a record to listen to many, many times--to grow old with. Save it for those days when you need absolute proof that true grace does exist. --Mike McGonigal

You will not be disappointed. If you are a Sam Cooke fan and love soulful singing then buy this CD. A great gospel album with the great Sam Cooke leading the way. You can hear the beginnings of the transition from pure gospel music to the soul music genre which Sam Cooke pioneered.
If you love Gospel music, you need this. If you love Sam Cooke (and you should), then you should listen to this. WOW. Listening to Sam with the Soul Stirrers really made me appreciate just how great he really was.
I love this CD. Probablely the best gospel group of the fifties and sixties.
It really touch my soul,a cd of real downhome gospel music.I'll gladly give it 5 stars being the best. Sam Cooke with the Soul Stirres is one of most inspiring and heartfilling experiences of all times.
this is his roots, and in my opinion his greatest work by far. you do not need to be religious or a gospel fan to enjoy this great music. this is not the commercial pop/blues of sam cooke's later solo career, which is still good music.
