SAR Records was a record company founded by soul music legend legend Sam Cooke in 1961.
The label did not feature Cooke, but rather featured all of Cooke’s artists such as the latter-day Soul Stirrers with Jimmie Outler and Johnnie Taylor singing lead, The Valentinos (including Bobby Womack), Billy Preston, Mel Carter, The Simms Twins, Johnnie Morisette, L.C. Cooke (Cooke’s younger brother), as well as Johnnie Taylor as a pop soloist.
One notable release on SAR was the original version of “It’s All Over Now” by The Valentinos which would later be covered by the Rolling Stones.
