Recorded in the same year as Night Beat, Mr. Soul presents Sam Cooke at his most intimate and emotionally expressive. Leaning into lush, laid‑back arrangements and a mature, reflective tone, the album highlights Cooke’s ability to deliver standards with quiet power and effortless melodic grace.

Produced by Hugo & Luigi — known for their work with The Isley Brothers and The Stylistics — the record blends soul, jazz and pop sophistication, allowing Cooke’s warm, melancholic vocal delivery to shine. With classics such as Willow Weep For Me, I Wish You Love and For Sentimental Reasons, the album stands as one of Cooke’s most elegant and understated achievements.

This 180‑gram audiophile pressing comes housed in a deluxe linen‑laminated sleeve, includes an insert, and is issued as a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on orange vinyl.
