The King of Rock & Soul

Posted by Maximum Fun on 31st January 2007

Solomon Burke – “Everbody Needs Somebody” (Live on Top of the Pops)

Solomon Burke with Van Morrison – “Fast Train” (circa 2004)

If you’ve never heard Solomon Burke’s 1985 live album Soul Alive!, you owe it to yourself. The most electric live album I’ve ever heard — two hours of one of the greatest singers of our time in a small venue packed with people just WAILING. What a singer Burke is. Truly a special genius, the one and only King of Rock and Soul.
