Portrait of a Legend: 1951–1964
''Portrait of a Legend: 1951–1964'' is a compilation album by American singer-songwriter Sam Cooke, released posthumously on June 17, 2003 by ABKCO Records. The disc covers Cooke's entire career, from his early 1950s beginnings with the Soul Stirrers to the posthumous 1964 single "Shake". The collection includes most of the singer's hit singles, including "You Send Me", "Wonderful World", "Chain Gang", "Cupid", "Twistin' the Night Away", "Bring It on Home to Me", "Another Saturday Night", "Little Red Rooster", "Ain't That Good News", "Good Times", and what is often regarded as the singer's magnum opus, "A Change Is Gonna Come".
The compilation is generally considered the most complete and comprehensive collection of Cooke's work. It has been included on various "best-of" lists by music publications, including ''Rolling Stone'' and ''Time''.
==Reception==
Biographer Peter Guralnick, author of Cooke's biography ''Dream Boogie'' and the liner notes for the disc, writes: "For an overview of Sam's career, from his gospel beginnings through "A Change Is Gonna Come," nothing can compare to ''Portrait of a Legend'' which serves as a guide to Sam at his very best."〔Guralnick, Peter (2005). ''Dream Boogie: The Triumph of Sam Cooke''. New York: Back Bay Books, p. 715. First edition, 2005.〕 The BBC's Alwyn Turner writes, "With perfect sound quality, and with sleeve-notes by Peter Guralnick, this is the best single-volume introduction to his work available." Bruce Eder of Allmusic considered it an improvement on the 1986 compilation ''The Man and His Music'' in terms of running time and audio quality; he did, however, lament the lack of inclusion of "'That's Heaven to Me' and 'Soothe Me', arguably one of Cooke's most important songs."
It is Cooke's highest placing position on ''Rolling Stone'' 2003 list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All-Time, at number 107.〔Wenner, Jann S., ed. (2012). Rolling Stone - Special Collectors Issue - The 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time. USA: Wenner Media Specials. ISBN 978-7098934196〕 In 2010, ''Time'' included the compilation on their list of the All-''TIME'' 100 Albums, covering "the 100 greatest and most influential musical compilations since 1954." In the article, Alan Light writes, "The 31 tracks on ''Portrait of a Legend'' impressively capture Cooke’s range on a single disc () Many artists are called "legends," but Sam Cooke truly earned this title."
