It has been argued that Sam Cooke made his most inspired recordings during the six years (1951-57) he spent as a member of the Soul Stirrers. A companion to Sam Cooke with the Soul Stirrers (SPCD-7009-2) and Jesus Gave Me Water (SPCD-7031-2), this compact disc delves deeper into the famous quartet’s period with Cooke and includes numerous alternate takes of some of his best-loved gospel songs. While Cooke solos on all but one of the 28 tracks, also featured are the outstanding contributions of Paul Foster, J.J. Farley, Julius Cheeks, and, in a rare vocal performance, Soul Stirrers’ guitarist Bob King.
