Numbered, Limited Edition Clear Vinyl - Only 500 Copies!
Ain't That Good News is the thirteenth and final studio album by American R&B and soul singer-songwriter Sam Cooke, released March 1, 1964, on RCA Victor Records. Recording sessions for the album took place at RCA Victor's Music Center of the World Studio in February and December 1963 and January 1964. The cover photo was taken by American photographer Wallace Seawell.
Ain't That Good News was the last studio album released in Sam Cooke's lifetime. It features his iconic recording "A Change Is Gonna Come," which has become an anthem for civil rights plus the hit songs "Another Saturday Night," "Ain't That Good News" and "Rome (Wasn't Built In A Day)."
In this LP are two sides of Sam Cooke. The first side, strong and rockin'; the second side, ballads...deep and soulful.
"...offers a lot of superb material...The central number is, of course, the earth-shattering "A Change Is Gonna Come," with its soaring gospel sound and the most elaborate production of any song in Cooke's output." -Bruce Eder, allmusic.com
