Sam Cooke was a giant of American music. His melding of soul, gospel, and pop was astrenchant as it was revolutionary and influential. 'Portrait of a Legend' touches on every aspect of this phenomenally gifted singer / songwriter'scareer.

The romantic croon of "You Send Me" shares space with the mournful "SadMood," the romping "Twistin' the Night Away," and the moving social /spiritual statement "A Change Is Gonna Come".
