Sam Cooke - Sar Record's Story

The definitive soul singer also contributed to the genre as a writer, producer and with his own SAR Records label. This 2-CD set collects close to 70 tracks recorded for his label from 1959-1965 and tells the SAR tale in two 36-page booklets. The music is simply divine: spiritual songs by the Soul Stirrers, R.H. Harris & His Gospel Paraders and the Womack Brothers and secular sides by Johnnie Taylor, the Valentinos, Billy Preston and more-plus tracks and demos by Sam himself! a stunner.
