ISBN 978-7098934196 Cooke was typical of the time in that he recognised the value of singles: they were cheap for the fans and provided the fastest way to maintain popularity via airwaves and jukeboxes. On the other hand, his crossover appeal at a time when society in America was segregated along political, social and cultural lines made him stand out from the crowd. He had genuine popular appeal. The final three albums in the just-issued box set Sam Cooke’s The Complete Keen Years (1957-1960) have been confirmed for individual release on 180 gram, heavyweight vinyl on 3 April. The titles are At The Copa, Keep Movin’ On and Ain’t That Good News.

The final LP to be released in his own lifetime was Ain’t That Good News, two suites of mellow and tougher soul that include ‘A Change Is Gonna Come’, ‘Another Saturday Night’ (written during his final UK tour), the oft-covered ‘Good Times’ and, as a bizarre finale, the English – some say Appalachian – folk air ‘The Riddle Song’.

The LPs will join Hit Kit and The Wonderful World of Sam Cooke, to be issued on 14 February, and three individual albums that were released, along with the box set itself, on 24 January: the singer’s self-titled set of 1958, also known as Songs By Sam Cooke, the Encore album and Billie Holiday, Tribute to The Lady.

Though he only lived to be 33 (he was murdered in suspicious circumstances), the man born Samuel Cook left an indelible mark on the world of gospel and soul. So profound was his influence that he was bestowed with the honorific title of King Of Soul. All the conspiracy theories can’t alter his talent or diminish his status. He was posthumously honoured in many ways with a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1999, following an earlier induction into the Songwriters Hall Of Fame (Cooke was a prolific songwriter), as well as taking a place in the Rhythm & Blues Music Hall Of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio, as recently as 2013.
