Sam Cooke had the nickname of the constant number one on his label RCA Victor, as one could assume that every new song would storm the charts again. At a time when R'n'B was still part of Rock'n'Roll, Cooke recorded the most hits after Elvis Presley and his debut album sold more than two million copies. To this day, his hit Summertime with the famous text line Don't know much about History is an integral part of any nightly radio programme.
