Review by Kim Mã DPA

Album Review: That’s All I Need To Know / I Don’t Want To Cry by Sam Cooke Sam Cooke’s 1958 release, That’s All I Need To Know / I Don’t Want To Cry, is a short but sweet slice of soulful storytelling that packs an emotional punch. Falling under the genres of Funk/Soul and Blues with a style rooted in Rhythm & Blues, this record feels like a warm hug on a cold night—simple yet unforgettable. Released across the US, UK, and Canada via labels like Specialty, London Records, and Delta, it’s no wonder this gem found its way into so many hearts. Let’s talk tracks. The title song, “That’s All I Need To Know,” hits you right in the feels. Cooke’s voice glides effortlessly over the melody, blending vulnerability and strength in equal measure. It’s one of those songs where you can almost picture him standing there, pouring his heart out in front of a mic. There’s something raw about how he delivers each line—it doesn’t feel rehearsed; it feels real. You remember it because it sticks to your soul long after the needle lifts off the record. Then there’s “I Don’t Want To Cry.” If ever there was a track that could make tears well up while simultaneously lifting your spirits, this is it. Written by Cooke himself (credited as Cook), the lyrics are simple but hit hard. He sings about love lost, regret, and moving forward—all themes we’ve felt at some point. What makes this track stand out isn’t just the emotion behind it but also the way the rhythm pulls you in. It’s impossible not to tap your foot or nod along, even if you’re busy trying to hold back tears. What strikes me most about this album is how timeless it feels. Sure, it came out in 1958, but listening to it today, it’s easy to see why Sam Cooke became such a legend. His ability to blend pain and hope into every note is unmatched. And honestly? This little two-track release reminds me that sometimes less really is more. In a world full of overproduced albums and endless playlists, these songs cut straight to the chase—and straight to the heart. Unexpectedly, though, what stays with me isn’t just the music—it’s the thought that Sam Cooke probably didn’t know how far his words would travel. Here we are decades later, still talking about them, still feeling them. Maybe that’s all any artist can ask for.
