LP – 180 Gram Vinyl
Tribute to the Lady, released in April 1959, is Sam Cooke’s third studio album and a heartfelt tribute to jazz icon Billie Holiday, who passed away later that year. Backed by the René Hall Orchestra, Cooke delivered bold, soulful interpretations of classic songs, stepping beyond his teen idol image to explore deeper emotional territory. Though critically admired, the album quickly disappeared from public view, becoming a rare gem in his legendary career. Often called the “King of Soul,” Cooke’s profound influence on music endures, with accolades like Rolling Stone’s No. 3 spot on the “200 Greatest Singers of All Time” list, cementing his status as a timeless icon.
