Anna's Pick of the Week: Sam Cooke - Encore

Recorded in California in 1958, this record still maintains it's elegance and swing to this day. Sam Cooke is an early soul singer, among the likes of Ray Charles and Otis Redding.

Side A is the quicker pop tunes (like Accentuate the Positive) and side B has the more low key love songs (such as Today I Sing the Blues). Your dinner party guests will be humming this soundtrack long after dessert.
