Same Cooke- Heard this one?

I've always been a Sam Cooke fan. One of the finest voices in popular music as far as I'm concerned. But, I never dug deep or looked for the better recordings. Always just listened to his popular stuff.

I came across the song Lost and Lookin' on Qobuz this evening. It is off the The Man Who Invented Soul 4 CD collection.

It is just Sam's voice and a bass. Very simple. Very well recorded. Possibly the best example of Sam's wonderful voice out there.

I bought the 4 CD set off eBay right away. Not sure if there is a vinyl version.

Anyway, if you're a Sam fan but haven't heard this one it is worth a listen.

Thanks @n80! Much appreciated. Although a long time Sam Cooke fan, I hadn't heard that particular track. To echo @tomcy6, Sam's voice was indeed incredible. He brought such range, emotion, and that elusive thing called "soul" to his music.
