Reviews"...The three CDs here work on every level. Ordered chronologically, the tracks form a picture of the evolution of American gospel music in the '50s; shadow the growth of the civil rights movement; and tell the story of Cooke's artistic growth...", 4 stars out of 5 - "...Prime gospel, many of these tracks are classics....This is an historic anthology...", "...Listening to him forge a style here, it's hard not to conclude that all his work clearly represents one long, luscious continuum in American music...", Ranked #6 in Mojo's "Best Box Sets & Compilations of 2002in, 4 Stars Out of 5-"...Cooke Was One of Soul Music's First and Most Inspirational Voices..."
