Product information
Sam Cooke – Tribute To The Lady (Black Vinyl, 180 Gram Vinyl)
Available at Bennies Fifties and the online Fifties Store
Released in April 1959, Tribute To The Lady is Sam Cooke’s third studio album and a heartfelt tribute to jazz legend Billie Holiday, who passed away later that same year. With this release, Cooke moved beyond his teen idol image and revealed a deeper, more mature emotional range.
Backed by the René Hall Orchestra, Cooke delivers soulful and elegant interpretations of classic jazz standards such as “God Bless The Child,” “Good Morning Heartache,” and “Solitude.” Although critically acclaimed upon release, the album quickly slipped from public attention, later becoming one of the hidden gems of his remarkable career.
Known as the “King of Soul,” Sam Cooke’s influence on popular music remains immense. His legacy was cemented with a No. 3 ranking on Rolling Stone’s ‘200 Greatest Singers of All Time’ list. Tribute To The Lady stands as a timeless showcase of his vocal mastery and artistic depth.
