Sam Cooke, the true King of Soul, recorded "Night Beat" in 1963, an album showcasing Cooke's bluesy and moody side that had not been seen before. Despite the melancholy and nostalgia that can be heard throughout the album, Cooke's transcendent voice ensures that listeners are never left feeling sad. His voice has an uplifting quality that has yet to be surpassed.

"Night Beat" is an album that takes its time, approaching each song slowly without ever feeling lazy. Cooke's delicate vocals are expertly framed by his fellow musicians, with some tracks showcasing his voice without any accompaniment. Other songs, like "Little Red Rooster" and "I Lost Everything," add a raw and gritty edge to the album.

Unfortunately, Sam Cooke's life was cut short, leaving behind only a limited number of recordings. The latter half of his career was not widely available for many years due to rights disputes. Now, for the first time in 40 years, Music On Vinyl is re-issuing "Night Beat" on 180-gram audiophile vinyl, allowing fans to experience one of Cooke's most critically acclaimed albums in all its glory.
