Twistin' the Night Away, Sam Cooke's eighth studio album, came out on RCA Victor in April 1962 with Hugo & Luigi producing, and it makes no secret of what it's after: the twist had the whole country moving, and Cooke jumped on the craze with both feet.
It paid off. The title single climbed to number nine on the Billboard Hot 100, the album became only the second of his LPs to chart, peaking at number 74, and it set off a string of hits. It's rhythm and blues built for the dance floor, carried by the voice that earned him the name King of Soul.
