 Rating:  - EXCELLENT REMASTER OF SOME GREAT MUSIC!!!!!Do yourself a favor. Get a 2005 remaster of this gem, and don't worry about the "tape hiss" you may hear during the first seven seconds of track two. I believe many folks who claim they don't like soul, R&B and blues would love this CD. It is, in my opinion, that good. Rating: - You Gotta Move Yall!Night Beat, the Live Harlem cd, and his time with the Soul Stirrers are the best of Sam. With Night Beat, he appeared to be trying to get back to his roots. I am not particularly a fan of his water down, generally soulless pop creations. However, I do understand that he was trying to get that ever elusive mainstream dollar, and I guess realistically, he had to water down his music to attract them. I think with this production he was trying to bring back and hold on to his core black audience. Very few black geniuses could go into the mainstream as themselves - raw. They had to wear that mask. You know "we wear the mask" is a tiresome fixture. Ouch! My face is crackin'." Rating: - Essential Sam Cooke = ESSENTIAL music... I would prefer to shut up and just have you listen to this (but then you wouldn't have a review, so here we go). There never was and probably never will be another singer like Sam Cooke. His terrific voice, his unsurpassed ability to bring feelings across, even in those pre-video days, pre surround and what not days, just through old radios and vinyl, is pure genius. This album has "just" 12 songs, a few musicians and then of course The Voice, Sam Cooke. As the title suggests, mostly slow tunes, somewhere between blues and gospel, with a piano (or organ) as main support. Sam never needed more. A very personal recording, as if sung just for you. Sam Cooke knew exactly what he wanted and as far as I can judge he was his ... Read More: Rating: - Best Sam Cooke Ever!This is some of the best R/B by Sam Cooke that I have ever heard. I have even bought several other copies to share with friends. This is masterful, raw, music; you can hear the breaths that he takes. "Get Yourself Another Fool" is a masterpiece! Rating: - "Night Beat", The essential SAM COOKE .I bought this when it was new...On vinyl.It is the best Sam Cooke album to own if you only buy one. Check out "Lost and Lookin' " and "I Lost Everything" . Ever had a broken heart ? You might be able to Feeeeelll these two. |
