| | Sam Cooke Specialty Profiles CD Sam Cooke Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
This double-CD set collects many of the 1950s-era recordings of the legendary R&B singer Sam Cooke with the gospel group the Soul Stirrers, who provide a supple backing for Cooke's soaring vocals on tracks like the glorious "Touch the Hem of His Garment," the old-time "Jesus Gave Me Water," and the uplifting "The Last Mile of the Way." Also featured are a number of pop sides Cooke recorded before leaving the Specialty label, including his first major secular hit, "Lovable."

Contains an untitled hidden track which follows "Jesus Gave Me Water."
Sam Cooke was a giant not just in the soul world, but in the larger scheme of American music. His melding of soul, gospel, and pop was as trenchant as it was revolutionary and influential. This unbeatable 30-song compilation touches on every aspect of this phenomenally gifted singer-songwriter's career. The romantic croon of "You Send Me" shares space with the mournful "Sad Mood," the romping "Twistin' the Night Away," and the moving social/spiritual statement "A Change Is Gonna Come" (this compilation is one of the rare collections to have this stirring and sought-after track). For pure fun, it's hard to beat the humor-filled "Another Saturday Night." Perhaps the master stroke, though, is "Havin' a Party." As no less esteemed a personage than Bruce Springsteen once observed, it's an ostensibly celebratory song that seems to bear a deep sadness via Cooke's vocal performance, a sense of laughing to keep from crying.

| | Arthur Conley Sweet Soul Music/Shake, Rattle & Roll CD (2004)
Specialty Profiles music CDs
$10.69 
Casual soul fans know Arthur Conley from his smash hit from 1967, "Sweet Soul Music," a bubbling ode to soul giants like his mentor Otis Redding, Lou Rawls, Wilson Pickett, and Sammy Davis, Jr. (?). Collectables' 2004 compilation of Conley's 1967 releases (Sweet Soul Music and Shake Rattle & Roll) seeks to shed some light on Conley's other work. Sadly, there isn't much going on, as Conley ...

Specialty Profiles songs
$15.05
With the plethora of options currently in print, the question of whether listeners need another anthology paying homage to the Supremes is entirely a valid one. With Motown's proclivity to recycle and repackage the same material, it comes as no surprise that Gold gathers together four previously issued greatest-hits compilations, Greatest Hits, Vol. 1, Vol. 2, and Vol. 3 as well as At Their Best. ...

| | Detroit Junior Blues On The Internet CD (2004) Enhanced CD
Specialty Profiles music CDs
$12.89
Veteran blues pianist (and longtime Howlin' Wolf sideman) Emery Williams Jr. -- known professionally as Detroit Junior -- has had a renaissance of sorts in the past decade, releasing three albums on Blue Suit Records, and now this one, Blues on the Internet, on Delmark Records. Williams is a throwback to the classic Chicago blues piano style, and his warm, expressive vocals fall somewhere between a hoarse Ray Charles and a latter-day Bob Dylan, while his songwriting, although hardly innovative, is solid and workmanlike, avoiding most of the obvious blues clichés. His intent isn't to move blues into the 21st century so much as preserve the way it was played in Chicago in the 1950s (where Williams played alongside the likes of Jimmy Reed, Eddie Boyd, Eddie Taylor, and Little Mack Simmons), and he succeeds wonderfully on original tracks here like his signature tune, "Call My Job," "Money Crazy," and "Somebody Better Do Something," as ...
| | Beverly "Guitar" Watkins Feelings Of Beverly "Guitar" Watkins CD (2005)
Specialty Profiles songs
$13.25
Bio Beverly "Guitar" Watkins is a fan of the low-down, hard-stompin', railroad-smokin' blues. Her feel- good sessions in the late 50s and early 60s may have ignited the spark that fueled the British Invasion. She'll tell you, "People are impressed to see a black woman play like a man." A guitar slinger from birth, she performs on the streets of Atlanta by blowing the crowds away with her unadulterated brand of blues.Performance HighlightsFestivals/Venues:Irvine Plaza, NY 1999Great American Music Hall, San Francisco, CA, 1999Mississippi Valley Blues Festival, Davenport, IA, 2000Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, New ...
