The Koko Mojo Records Spotlight is shone onto Sam Cooke (he added the "e" to his last name in 1957 to signify a new start to his life) and looks at his involvement within the music world. The album does not rely upon his hit recordings, these are available on numerous albums, and in typical Koko Mojo style, and we sample the best of the rest.
