About the album Ain't That Good News
From 1958 to 1964, Sam Cooke managed to record eleven albums filled with wonderful soul and R&B songs that become even more magnificent thanks to his amazing warm voice. Ain't That Good News, his eleventh and final album, was released in February 1964, nine months before his tragic death in Los Angeles. The album was recorded between March 1963 and January 1964, a period during which Sam Cooke experienced the greatest tragedy of his life, as his eighteen-month-old son Vincent drowned in his home pool in June 1963.
Ain't That Good News includes Sam Cooke's greatest soul expression, A Change Is Gonna Come, one of the most legendary soul songs of the 1960s and beyond, which has been part of the National Recording Registry list in the U.S. since 2007. It was released as a single eleven days after Sam Cooke's murder.
The production of Ain't That Good News was done by the duo Hugo & Luigi. The album reached No. 34 on the Billboard chart.
