1	Portrait of a Legend 1951-1964 (2003) more music like this by Sam Cooke Some 46 years after his first pop hit, and 39 years after his death, comes only the second attempt at a comprehensive Sam Cooke collection. Portrait of a Legend 1951-1964 eclipses RCA's early-'80s The Man and His Music, going it better in running time but losing some important recordings -- "That's Heaven to Me" and "Soothe Me," arguably one of ... see all copies from $16.89! new only from $16.89!
2	Best of Sam Cooke [RCA Bonus Tracks] (2005) more music like this by Sam Cooke RCA/Legacy's 2005 reissue of the 1962 LP The Best of Sam Cooke retains the original 12-song running order and adds three bonus tracks, none of them huge hits: "Win Your Love for Me," "You Were Made for Me," and "Nothing Can Change This Love." The reasoning behind this, according to the back cover, is because: "This Best of Sam Cooke album was the ... see all copies from $11.12! new only from $11.12!
3	Greatest Hits (1998) more music like this by Sam Cooke Although it isn't as sublime as the definitive The Man and His Music, Greatest Hits still does a good job of rounding up the majority of Sam Cooke's biggest pop hits. Ironically, it doesn't have enough gospel or R&B cuts, skipping over such essentials as "Touch the Hem of His Garment," "Ain't That Good News," and "A Change Is Gonna Come" in favor ... see all copies from $12.75! new only from $12.75!
4	Animal House (20th Anniversary) (1998) more music like this by Original Soundtrack see all copies from $8.72! new only from $8.72!
5	Never a Dull Moment (1972) more music like this by Rod Stewart Essentially a harder-rocking reprise of Every Picture Tells a Story, Never a Dull Moment never quite reaches the heights of its predecessor, but it's a wonderful, multi-faceted record in its own right. Opening with the touching, autobiographical rocker "True Blue," which finds Rod Stewart trying to come to grips with his newfound stardom but ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.75!
6	Sing It Again Rod (1973) more music like this by Rod Stewart In some ways, 1973 was a little early for Rod Stewart to release a greatest-hits album, since he had only released four albums to that point. Nevertheless, Sing It Again Rod is a good collection, featuring most of the obvious choices from his first four records -- "Handbags and Gladrags," "Street Fighting Man," "Gasoline Alley," "You Wear It Well" ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.95!
7	Storyteller: The Complete Anthology (1989) more music like this by Rod Stewart Storyteller: The Complete Anthology is a flawed but effective four-disc box set covering Rod Stewart's career from its start up through the 1980s. Although most of Stewart's biggest hits and best-known songs from his first two decades are on Storyteller, the collection is poorly paced, containing too much hesitant early material and not enough ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $43.75!
8	Animal House (1978) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Animal House is a classic frat-house comedy, full of low-brow humor and outrageously entertaining vulgarity. The soundtrack nearly captures that atmosphere on record, even though it has a couple of flaws. The meat of the soundtrack lies in a selection of great rock & roll and R&B oldies, including Chris Montez's "Let's Dance," and Bobby Lewis' ... see all copies from $1.99!
9	More Dancin' Tunes (2002) more music like this by Disney see all copies from $4.98! new only from $6.44!
10	The Mercury Anthology (1992) more music like this by Rod Stewart A two-disc anthology of Rod Stewart's early Mercury recordings, which, in conjunction with the albums he recorded with the Faces, are inarguably his finest (nothing from the Faces records is included). Most of the highlights of his terrific first four albums are here -- "Maggie May," "You Wear It Well," "Handbags and Gladrags," "Gasoline Alley" -- ... see all copies from $3.04! new only from $16.50!
11 view cover	Sam Cooke at the Copa (1964) more music like this by Sam Cooke For decades, Sam Cooke at the Copa was a frustrating record. One of a handful of live albums by any major soul artist of its era, it captured Cooke in excellent voice, and was well-recorded -- it just wasn't really a "soul" album, except perhaps in the tamest possible definition of that term. Playing to an upscale, largely white supper-club ... see all copies from $6.35! new only from $16.89!
12 view cover	The Man and His Music (1986) more music like this by Sam Cooke When this 28-song compilation (two LPs/one CD) originally appeared, it was the first serious exploration of Sam Cooke's catalog ever done. What's more, a lot of care went into the selection, if not the packaging -- despite the fact that it has no annotation, or even release dates on its 28 songs, The Man and His Music is still the only ... see all copies from $8.00!
13 view cover	One Night Stand: Sam Cooke Live at the Harlem Square Club, 1963 (2005) more music like this by Sam Cooke Not only is this one of the greatest live soul albums ever released, it also reveals a rougher, rawer, and more immediate side to Sam Cooke that his singles only hinted at, good as they were. Working with a merged band that included guitarist Cliff White and drummer Albert "June" Gardner from Cooke's regular touring outfit and saxophonist King ... see all copies from $16.67! new only from $16.67!
14 view cover	The Best of Sam Cooke [RCA] (1962) more music like this by Sam Cooke Originally released in August 1962 under the title The Best of Sam Cooke, Volume 1 [RCA 2625], this album was reissued in 1965 as The Best of Sam Cooke [RCA 3466, later RCA 3863]. An above-average greatest hits collection, although no sampler could fully convey Sam Cooke's genius. It has since been reissued on CD [RCA 3863], so at least it's still ... see all copies from $6.49! new only from $18.95!
15 view cover	The Man Who Invented Soul [Box Set] (2000) more music like this by Sam Cooke This set is near essential to fans of Sam Cooke, despite the fact that it contains none of his gospel recordings for Specialty Records or any of the work from the final year of his career (owned by ABKCO Records). Scattered every few minutes across this four-disc collection are reminders of just how far ahead of all existing musical forms Cooke ... see all copies from $49.76! new only from $49.76!
16 view cover	The Rock Album (1998) more music like this by Rod Stewart Mercury/Polygram began recycling their Rod Stewart recordings almost immediately after he left the label for Warner. Rebound's The Rock Album and its companion, The Ballad Album, are simply '90s versions of such compilations as Sing It Again Rod. And, like that record, it's enjoyable despite its haphazard collection simply because Stewart's ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
17 view cover	Live at the Harlem Square Club, 1963 (1963) more music like this by Sam Cooke For anyone who thought they knew Sam Cooke's music based on the hit singles, this disc will be a revelation. This is the real Sam Cooke, doing a sweaty, raspy soulful set at the Harlem Square Club in North Miami, FL, on Jan. 12, 1963, backed by King Curtis and his band, a handful of local musicians, and Cooke's resident sidemen, guitarist Clifford ... see all copies from $12.49!
18 view cover	Reason to Believe: The Complete Mercury Studio Recordings (2002) more music like this by Rod Stewart see all copies from $35.02! new only from $35.02!
19 view cover	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Rod Stewart (1999) more music like this by Rod Stewart Rod Stewart's volume of 20th Century Masters is heavy on hits, and the songs that aren't hits are staples of Stewart's classic early-'70s repertoire. It is true that not every great song Rod recorded during this time is here -- he recorded so much great music in the first half of the '70s that it couldn't be condensed to 12 songs -- but it does ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
20 view cover	16 Most Requested Songs (2000) more music like this by Sam Cooke Velvety smooth, cool Sam Cooke left behind a legacy of recordings with his most renown located here on the tightest 16-track collection you'd find. The CD is a sing-along from the first selection, "You Send Me," to the last, "Summertime." The styles are blues, R&B, soul, and inspirational, and Cooke handles them all with the assurance of a master ... see all copies from $10.38! new only from $10.38!
21	Maggie May (1981) more music like this by Rod Stewart see all copies from $2.90!
22 view cover	Night with Mr. C (1989) more music like this by Clarence Clemons The problem with Clarence Clemons' third solo album was apparent on the first cut, a remake of Gary "US" Bonds's "Quarter to Three." The song was one Clemons frequently played in Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, in a faithful rendition of the original. But here Clemons turned rapper over a synthesizer backing, retaining only the chorus, and even ... see all copies from $2.16! new only from $3.40!
23 view cover	The Best of Rod Stewart, Vol. 2 (1977) more music like this by Rod Stewart Like its sister, Best of Rod Stewart, Vol. 2 was also expanded in 1998 to include several bonus tracks -- it now weighs in at a hefty 19 tracks. The biggest hits were put on the first volume, so this contains smaller hits and album-oriented radio favorites like "Country Comforts," "Mandolin Wind," "Reason to Believe," "Lost Paraguayos," and "True ... see all copies from $7.94! new only from $10.98!
24 view cover	Hits! (2001) more music like this by Sam Cooke The problem with issuing compilations of Sam Cooke material is one of licensing, since his early gospel work with the Soul Stirrers is owned chiefly by Specialty Records; his first secular pop hits like "You Send Me," "(What A) Wonderful World," and "Only Sixteen" are owned by Keen Records; his middle pop period and songs like "Chain Gang," "Cupid ... see all copies from $16.44! new only from $16.44!
25 view cover	The Classic Years (1999) more music like this by Rod Stewart see all copies from $5.85! new only from $5.85!
