The Supremes - We Remember Sam Cooke
Occasionally in any field of endeavor there arises upon the scene a talent so unique and unusual that critics as well as disciples alike immediately take notice. Sometimes it takes years for that talent to grow and mature to its full height. On other occasions the rise to the zenith is like a shooting star. Always, however, that rise is an absolutely predictable and foreseeable event. Such a man was Sam Cooke, his very existence exploding with the pent up creativity that was his natural gift, striving ever in the allied fields.
A composer and lyrist of unusual talent, he seemed always to have a finger on the pulse of the times… being that fortunate artist who usually did not have to look for material because he created his own.
With his eye to the future and yet with a well planned approach, Sam Cooke breached the beach heads from his early R & B oriented approaches to the mature and additional vistas available; witness his outstanding success at the Copacabana and class clubs of like nature.
His untimely passing, if on this basis alone, shocked the entire music world. To his contemporaries not only was Sam Cooke a creator of originality but likewise he was a real person. To have this young, successful and “great" personality removed from the scene was a fact of such total incongruity that the first reaction of those who knew, respected and loved him was one of disbelief.
Rising in a somewhat parallel spiral, but dominated by their artistic creativity, the Supremes in their own way have reached unbelievable heights of acceptance and success. Nothing they or any of us can do can bring Sam Cooke back, but the Supremes take his occasion to pay respect to Sam Cooke, the man, the artist, the creator. But more than just paying respect to Sam Cooke they are, in their way, doing what Sam Cooke would have wanted them to do ...bring music into this world. Sam Cooke's creativity in the farm of the most renown of his compositions ...the Supremes with their unsurpassed artistry...a Tribute To Sam Cooke. In a way he will live forever. He saw to it, he made it that way.

I found this interesting Mexican release on Tamla Motown (TMSP-108) with only 4 songs
notice the Spanish translation on the cover
