Sam Cooke - Mr. Soul (Music On Vinyl) [Orange Vinyl]

• Available November 6th, 2026.
• Ship orders including this title will be held back.

Released in February 1963 on RCA Victor, Mr. Soul stands as one of Sam Cooke's most intimate and accomplished albums — his ninth studio album and a landmark in the art of the pop-soul ballad. Where many of his contemporaries leaned into raw gospel energy, Cooke here embraced a lush, orchestral palette, guided by the meticulous arrangements of Horace Ott and the production vision of Hugo & Luigi. The result is an album of extraordinary elegance: a singer at the absolute peak of his craft, navigating the Great American Songbook and original material alike with effortless authority.

From the wistful opening of "I Wish You Love" and the aching drama of "Cry Me a River" to the tender warmth of "(I Love You) For Sentimental Reasons" and the original "Nothing Can Change This Love", Mr. Soul showcases Cooke's unparalleled ability to inhabit a lyric — to make every phrase feel both inevitable and deeply personal.
