ABOUT
Solomon Burke is regard by many aficionados as the best soul singer of all time. As a child in Philadelphia in the '50s, he sang and preached the gospel as the “Wonder Boy Preacher." Following a stint at Apollo Records, he broke nationally with a series of country-soul masterpieced for the famed Atlantic Records label.
Crowned the King of Rock 'n Soul, Burke continued to record in the soul idiom until the Grammy-winning 2001 Don't Give Up on Me, produced by Joe Henry and featuring songs by Elvis Costello, Bob Dylan and Brian Wilson. He followed it up with two Grammy-nominated albums for Shout! Factory, Make Do With What You Got, and Nashville, the latter a return to his country roots featuring duets with Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton, Patty Loveless, Patty Griffin, and Gillian Welch.
