The King Of Soul On Vinyl LP!
Wax Love present a reissue of Sam Cooke's Night Beat, originally released in 1963. Sam Cooke, inventor and true King of Soul, recorded Night Beat in 1963, an album that was more bluesy and moodier than we had seen before from Cooke. Night Beat is an album that approaches the music at a slow pace but is never lazy. It is easy-going without losing its keen sensibilities.
Recorded in Hollywood, California on February 22, 25, 1963.
Cooke's voice took center stage on this admirably low-key session from February 1963, recorded in Los Angeles with a quartet of studio veterans. Unlike so many session crews and producers of the time, these musicians gave him plenty of space and often simply framed Cooke's breathtaking vocals. The results are wonderful - except for his early Soul Stirrers sides, Night Beat is the best place to marvel at one of the two or three best voices of the century... If Sam Cooke had lived longer, there would've been several more sessions like this, but Night Beat is an even richer treasure for its rarity.
