Product information
Sam Cooke – Tribute To The Lady (Purple 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 deeply heartfelt homage to jazz icon Billie Holiday. With this record, Cooke moved beyond his teen idol image and embraced a more mature, emotionally rich musical direction. Backed by the refined arrangements of the René Hall Orchestra, he delivers soulful and respectful interpretations of timeless jazz standards associated with Lady Day.
Although critically praised at the time of its release, the album soon slipped out of the spotlight, later gaining recognition as one of the hidden gems in Cooke’s legendary catalog. Today, Tribute To The Lady stands as a key milestone in his artistic evolution and vocal mastery.
This 180 gram purple vinyl edition adds a striking visual touch to an already elegant and intimate album, making it an essential addition for collectors of jazz, soul, and classic vocal recordings.
