Product Details

SAR was one of the first record labels owned and operated by a Black artist, and Cooke ran it with the same instincts that made him a pop crossover giant while keeping the music rooted in gospel and Southern soul. Hearing Billy Preston, Johnnie Taylor, and the Valentinos in this context reveals the full shape of Cooke's vision, not just as a singer but as a tastemaker and businessman who understood exactly where Black music was headed.

SAM COOKE'S SAR RECORDS STORY (1959-1965) / VARiOUS - Originally released by ABKCO as a 2-CD set in 1994, Sam Cooke's SAR Records Story 1959-1965 is now available on vinyl as a 4-LP set. This collection 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 Sour Stirrers, Johnnie Taylor, Billy Preston and Bobby Womack's group, The Valentinos, are all featured - in addition to Sam himself.
