Portrait of a Legend 1951-1964

"An excellent collection from the Soul / Gospel great. "A Change is Gonna Come" is just as relevant and moving as it was when he wrote it. A true legend."
-ANNA

Sam Cooke was a giant of American music. His melding of soul, gospel, and pop was astrenchant as it was revolutionary and influential. 'Portrait of a Legend' touches on every aspect of this phenomenally gifted singer / songwriter'scareer.

The romantic croon of "You Send Me" shares space with the mournful "SadMood," the romping "Twistin' the Night Away," and the moving social /spiritual statement "A Change Is Gonna Come".

This unbeatable 30 song compilation is the greatest single disc Sam Cooke collection ever - from gospel through his greatest hits including "Touch The Hem Of His Garment", "You Send Me", "Chain Gang", "(What a) Wonderful World" and "A Change is Gonna Come" - this is a living portrait of a true musical legend.
