For Fans Of
Sam Cooke released two albums in 1963, and while the second, Night Beat, often gets the higher praise, his first that year, Mr. Soul, deserves attention too. At the time, RCA Victor was unsure which audience to chase, leaning toward the adult, Nat King Cole crowd, and the album can feel a touch tentative and over-produced, heavy on strings and choruses. But Cooke rises above all of it, turning songs like "Send Me Some Lovin'" into small masterpieces and wrapping his voice around familiar standards to make them feel newly significant. A laid-back, cool soul record by the standards of its day, it still showcases one of the finest voices of the century in every breath and nuance.
