Book Reviews of Dream Boogie: The Triumph of Sam Cooke
Book Review: Elvis' Biographer Turns His Eye to Sam Cooke
Summary: 5 Stars
Peter Guralnick brings his considerable talent to the life of soul great Sam Cooke. As he did in his superb biographies of Elvis Presley, Guralnick lets the drama of Sam Cooke's life unfold without foreshadowing. In this way the reader is swept up in the saga almost forgetting the inevitable tragic ending of the life of Sam Cooke. Guralnick researched this book thoroughly with the full co operation of the estate of Sam Cooke. The result is a masterpiece of music journalism. Sam Cooke lives within these pages.
