solomon burke



I think most people will know 'Everybody Needs Somebody To Love' and 'Cry To Me', but his other, less well known stuff is excellent, and anyone interested should really give the following a listen: 'Stupidity', "Home In Your Heart' and 'Got To Get You Off My Mind'. My personal favourite though, and a track that may be a little harder to find judging by the tracklists on some Solomon Burke 'Best Ofs', is 'Keep Lookin'. I found it on the Ace Records compilation, 'At The Club'.

"There's a whole lot of love in life that you can get
But use that kind of lovin'
With a fat-bat-boom-bam-a-sham-a-lam"

Sound advice indeed.
