Sam Cooke's SAR Records Story 1959-1965

£119.99

Released: 10th May 2024. 'Sam Cooke's SAR Records Story 1959-1965' gathers significant recordings of SAR Records - the label Sam Cooke co-founded, produced the majority of records for and was instrumental in operating. Groundbreaking artists such as The Soul Stirrers, Johnnie Taylor, Billy Preston, and Bobby Womack's group The Valentinos are all featured, in addition to Sam himself. 'The whole SAR Records Story is infused with Sam Cooke's rapturous sense of how sacred gospel and sexual soul flow together, unbroken', stated Milo Miles on NPR's Fresh Air upon the set's initial release almost three decades ago. In an era where black-owned labels were a rarity, Los Angeles based SAR Records was founded at almost exactly the same time as Motown, its Detroit counterpart. The acronymous name standing for Sam Alex Roy, SAR sought to keep gospel music alive while simultaneously crossing over to pop audiences in the secular world.
