Sam Cooke: The Man Who Invented Soul (4-CD)

(Music On CD) 94 tracks

This 4CD book set is essential for fans of Sam Cooke, even if it doesn't include any of his gospel recordings or the work from the last year of his career. Every few minutes, this collection is a reminder of how far ahead of all existing musical forms Cooke was, creating sounds that stretched the definitions of song genres as they were understood and created entirely new categories. In fact, he was so successful that it's easy to underestimate the impact and importance of many of his early triumphs. “You Send Me,” which opens this set, may seem like the safest, tamest pop tune today, but in 1957 it was a genre-bending single, a new kind of R&B/pop music hybrid, and one that quietly shook the foundations of the music business when it hit number one.

In addition to his world-famous originals “You Send Me”, “Only Sixteen”, “Cupid” and “Wonderful World”, he also sang songs by Gershwin (Summertime), Willie Dixon (Little Red Rooster) and Jimmie Cox (Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out). The evolution of Cooke's writing and singing and his growing confidence and range culminate. Disc 4 contains the album Night Beat and Cooke's live performance from the Harlem Square Club. The sound is exceptional throughout, spacious, textured and detailed.

Sam Cooke

I'll Come Running Back To You

It’s part of R&B legend that Sam Cooke began his recording career singing gospel at Specialty Records, and that in June of 1956, he wrote to company president Art Rupe, saying, "A friend I've been knowing for quite some time asked me if I would consider recording some popular ballads for one of the major recording companies. I told him yes." Cooke's plan was to cut pop records "under another name. And I would continue to record and sing with the group. I have my material ready and all I need is an okay from you." Rupe's answer was swiftly and emphatically negative, but he agreed to let Cooke record some pop material pseudonymously for Specialty. Rupe had made stars of Lloyd Price, Larry Williams and Little Richard, and thought rock 'n' roll was meant to be as tough and unforgiving as gospel. Clearly, Cooke thought otherwise.

Rupe became furious when Cooke and his producer, Bumps Blackwell, hired a white chorus for a session, and things only became worse as Cooke demanded more money. Rupe finally told Blackwell that he could forego some bonuses and take the Sam Cooke tapes. Blackwell agreed, and left with You Send Me. It was, Rupe admits, the worst business decision of his life, and his only recourse was to take a demo tape that Cooke had recorded in April 1957 and overdub it on November 1 with guitarist Rene Hall and the same background singers he’d hated on You Send Me. Together, they approximated the sound of Cooke’s new hit, and it was only apparent in a couple of spots that this was a concocted master.

It was a successful move in that I’ll Come Running Back To You reached #1 on the R&B charts and #18 on the pop charts, but the bad news for Rupe was that the bottom of the barrel was in sight.
