Need suggestions if purchasing 2 CDs or a collection of Sam Cook. Thanks.

"Night Beat" and "My Kind of Blues" are both tops, but you really cannot go wrong with ANYTHING Sam Cooke recorded. Or, as Michael Scott, the World's Best Boss, would say: It's all good!"
"you really cannot go wrong with ANYTHING Sam Cooke recorded"

agree 100%, but what CD release(s) have the best sound quality in a decent audio system? I'm not setup for vinyl playback )O:
Any of the RCA Living Stereo material should sound pretty good-I have most of them on vinyl. Some of Sam's RCA stereo material is, unfortunately, Dynagroove (such as Night Beat). Perhaps the engineers "removed" the negatives associated with Dynagrrove when they remastered the tapes for CD.
Actually ... Sam Cooke's catalog was re-released in hybrid SACD format a few years back. Pretty decent sound quality.
