Originally released in 1962, then again in 1965, The Best of Sam Cooke collects together 12 of Sam Cooke’s greatest hits from 1957 to 1962, and if you can own only one Sam Cooke album you can't go wrong here. He composed half of the tracks here himself including 'Chain Gang,' 'Twisting the Night Away,' 'Bring It on Home to Me,' 'Having a Party' and 'A Change Is Gonna Come' while his top notch interpretation skills are on full display on fellow classics like 'Cupid,' 'You Send Me,' 'Summertime' and 'Wonderful World.'
