Why this album mattered

The discography of Sam Cooke, an American singer and songwriter, consists of fourteen studio albums, two live albums, 49 singles, 13 compilations and 2 box sets. Between 1957 and 1960, Sam Cooke recorded for Keen Records; from 1960 through 1966, he recorded for RCA Victor. As a result, few of Cooke's original albums saw individual reissue on compact disc, and, consequently, digital distribution, although all of Cooke's recorded work has been released in various compilations and in boxed sets. It reached #135 and charted for 1 weeks. Major singles from the album include "Shake", "Nothing Can Change This Love", "Bring It On Home To Me".
