L.C. Cooke recorded what was to be his debut album (tracks 1-10 on this collection) during the first half of the 1960s for his older brother Sam s SAR Records, notable for being one of the first artist-owned labels and having a roster that included Billy Preston, the latter-day Soul Stirrers (featuring Johnnie Taylor), and The Valentinos, the secular version of the Womack Brothers. Along with the projected 10 track album, the release includes alternate takes and unreleased tracks. The set is augmented with two tracks L.C. Cooke recorded for Checker Records in 1959 ( If I Could Only Hear and I m Falling ) as well as Do You Wanna Dance (Yea Man), recorded and released in 1965 on Destination Records, making it the only post-Sam Cooke track on the collection.............
