	King Solomon, Singer Solomon Burke Making A Comeback In The Music World - CBS News
		By age 12, Burke was known as the "wonder boy preacher" with his own weekly radio show in Philadelphia, where he grew up.
		Solomon was the king and in his heyday, he dressed up in a gold sequined suit.
		Burke, what else can I do for you?’ And Solomon said, ‘How much are these apiece?’ He said, ‘Well, for you, it's six dollars,’” recalls Wexler.

	Solomon Burke
		Burke, the King of Rock & Soul, the Bishop, is a big man with an even bigger talent, a revered vocalist whose mastery is unmatched by any other proponent of the style he largely originated.
		Burke embodies deep soul, with a forty plus year career that's produced a series of records consistently profound in emotional, artistic and spiritual gravity.
		As Peter Guralnick noted, Burke has served far too long as "The King In Exile"; despite a towering reputation among peers and fans alike, and his 2001 induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the singer remains somewhat of a mystifyingly under-appreciated figure.

	Solomon Burke - AOL Comedy
		While Solomon Burke never made a major impact upon the pop audience -- he never, in fact, had a Top 20 hit -- he was an important early soul pioneer.
		Burke had a wealth of high-charting R&B hits in the early half of the '60s, which crossed over to the pop listings in a mild fashion as well.
		Burke's 2002 release Don't Give Up on Me was hailed as a major comeback for the legendary soul man. Great songwriters like Elvis Costello, Dan Penn, Nick Lowe, and Tom Waits contributed songs and Joe Henry produced the album, which has been compared to Johnny Cash's landmark American Recordings.

		Not only is Burke the possessor of soul music's prettiest male voice, he's an expert in the art of love.
		It's Burke at his best, soaring and crooning with his slow-heated honey voice just the way he did in the '60s -- and just the way he still does in every one of his gripping concerts.
		Burke's deepest pleasure right now may simply be returning to the musicmaking game in major-label style.

	Solomon Burke: King of Blues and Soul - PopMatters Music Review
		Solomon Burke mixed up rock 'n' roll, gospel and country to become one of the key soul men in the genre's formative period.
		Burke is given ample room to stamp his (ample) personality on each tune and does so with considerable force.
		Burke's claim to fame was his blending of various musical idioms so it should be no surprise that the songs of the period that were already starting to do that should hold a special appeal to him.

	ANTI- Artist - Solomon Burke
		Burke's vocals, power undiminished, tempered by decades of performing and recording experience, is nothing less than a force of nature.
		When I was invited to produce a new record for Solomon Burke --soul legend, ordained bishop, father of 21, licensed mortician and current Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member-- there was added to this the palpable under-tow of Solomon's long and daunting musical history.
		Once Solomon and the musicians had taken their places, we would start running down a song --the shape and tone always dictated by Solomon's phrasing and vocal character-- until at last the song stood up like a child's spinning top; a momentary living thing, willfully finding its own path.

		Solomon Burke has long been known as the King of Rock 'n' Soul, but when he takes the stage, he's nothing so much as the Minister of Love.
		According to legend, Solomon Burke -- Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, licensed mortician and long-reigning King of Rock and Soul -- always wanted to be a country singer.
		In the spirit of Sam Moore, Solomon Burke and Candi Staton's recent career renaissance, Spanky Wilson resurfaces with a funky song that echoes her sentiments about life as an soul singer.

		It's one thing to be told that the under-the-radar Burke is actually a soul legend--when Van Morrison, Bob Dylan, Brian Wilson, and more serve him tracks for a cover set, you believe it.
		Burke's vocals, power undiminished, tempered by decades of performing and recording experience, is nothing less than a force of nature.
		On Bob Dylan's "Stepchild" Burke's warm shout and Daniel Lanois' swamp-toned guitar converge for a magnificent case of blues funk atmosphere.

		Solomon Burke loves a good deal as much as he loves a good song.
		Although Burke was inducted into the Rock ’n’ Roll Hall of Fame last year and producer Jerry Wexler, the architect of many of Atlantic’s classic RandB records, proclaimed Solomon "the greatest soul singer of them all," he has labored in relative obscurity for more than 20 years.
		Burke sings it like a sinner on his knees, pleading for salvation in his tenor wail.

		Burke came to prominence when soul music was astaple on AM radio as performed by himself and peers Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, and Aretha Franklin.
		Nicknamed "The Deacon" and "The King of Rock & Soul", Solomon Burke was one of the important early soul pioneers of the 60s before vanishing from the charts.
		Burke delivers everything with panache and a voice full of soul, though, and every one of these performances are filled with power and intensity.

		Burke is truly into it - he performs with real passion, careful in the verses and explosive during the choruses, especially in the stunning ending ("one more time" Burke shouts, and the band launches into the chorus again).
		Burke's interpretation is masterful (as usual) on this one - his references to Dylan ("Whatever you want you know I'm willin'/But I sure can't be Bob Dylan") perfectly capture the humorous I-got-knockdown-but-I'll-get-up feel of the song.
		Burke's voice, now even deeper than it used to be, soothes us and makes the tracks written by others his.

		Burke doesn't roar out of the gate begging and slobbering, but he works up to it at the climax (his "cracka cracka cracka" ad-lib at the end remains a genius moment).
		Solomon had earlier hitless stints on the Apollo and Singular labels in the fifties (even touring with former heavyweight champion Joe Louis to promote one record), but his tenure with Atlantic (1959-68) was when he really defined himself.
		Burke even wrote "I Have A Dream" specifically for Donny Osmond, which was released just a few months before Burke left the label and recorded it himself as the title track of a Dunhill album, ca.

		It was to be the respect of his musical peers that led to a late, dramatic revival in Burke's musical fortunes, matching that of the Buena Vista Social Club for fairytale charm.
		Burke is clearly enjoying this late burst of success and, talking about his Blues v lese appearance, he sounds both excited and grateful.

	Aaron Keith Harris on Al Green & Solomon Burke on National Review Online
		When I saw Burke open for Van Morrison in New York in 2003, Burke, who must weigh well over 300 lbs., performed much of his raucous set seated on a kingly throne at the front of the stage and nearly upstaged his famous patron.
		Burke breathes life into what was a sub-par track for Dylan (who recorded it on the poorly produced Oh Mercy), turning downcast self-doubt into a hope for redemption.
		The finest pure soul cut on the disc is Burke's cover of the Rolling Stones tearjerker "I Got the Blues." A thick Hammond organ and guitar arpeggio lay the foundation for pleading and moaning so fervent you can practically hear Burke wiping his brow.

	Solomon Burke, Soul Alive!
		When Burke exhorts the crowd by yelling "yeah!" and the crowd yells back "yeah, yeah, yeah," you might just find yourself yelling "yeah!" right on time with the crowd (especially if you are alone in your car).
		When Burke sings "Cr-cr-cr-cr-cr-cry," you could just hear him do "Try a Little Tenderness." The encore features more medley and preaching woven into the sizzling performance, Burke's voice is a little gruff but it's oh so soulful.
		Burke is introduced for the encore a mere 20 minutes into the second set, giving a strong indication that there was more show than would have fit on the vinyl double album as originally released.

		The horn section massed before the throne to give Burke a chance to settle in with dignity; when it parted, the King was in full costume: an ermine cape (quickly doffed), a snappy crimson fedora and a metallic crimson suit.
		Despite his sedentary position, Burke was more animated than performers less than half his size or age.
		Burke praised the military in Iraq while bemoaning recent losses in Ohio, at one point comforting a woman who recently lost her son to the war -- and whose birthday it was that night.

		It is easy to also hear this also as Burke's petition to the audience he is trying to reach with this record.
		On that track, Mann and Weil have Burke urge us all to "join together in spirit, heart, and mind" and remind us that "none of us is free if one of us is chained".
