I bought my first Sam Cooke single, Twistin The Night Away in 1962. Sam Cooke (January 22, 1931 – December 11, 1964). Born Samuel Cook, he was an American recording artist and singer-songwriter, generally considered among the greatest of all time. He is commonly known as the King of Soul for his distinctive vocal abilities and influence on the modern world of music. Ranked #6 Best R & R and R & B Singer of all time, by Rolling Stone Magazine. (Wiki). I just finished listening to my 42 Sam Cooke song iTunes library. My second purchase of his was Bringin It On Home To Me later in 1962. That lead me to buy his 1962 album, The Best of Sam Cooke, truly one of his best. It was a tragic situation that cut such a talented life, short.
