The Songwriter

Sam Cooke is undeniably one the greatest singers of all time, but he also had some killer writing chops which he put to good use not least on his own label SAR records in the early sixties. Remind yourself of Sam's singing prowess on disc 1 and acquaint yourself with his songwriting proficiency on disc 2, sung by the likes of Johnnie Morisette and The Sims Twins.
