"I'm leaving hate and prejudice behind, I'm On My Way To A Better Place..."

Just playing I'm On My Way and saw this, damn could that man sing a great loss. cheers Ralph

Yet more sad news from the world of soul, such a unique voice RIP The General Lenny

Very sad and unexpected news. A great shame.

Club soul fans should certainly check out the following tracks from the Bobby Sheen album: She Hit Me From The Blind Side Too Many To Fight You're Messing Up A Good Thing Can't Keep My Mind On What I'm Doing Paul

Had the opportunity to see this legend supported by Joss Stone in a really great, small venue in Exeter not two months back. Me and my Dad deemed fifty pounds each too expensive; suffice to say I learned my lesson, if a good opportunity arises pounce on it because it may never come back. RIP Mr. Solomon Burke, much love x

What a musical legacy the man leaves behind, RIP Mr Burke it was a pleasure to listen to you over the years Dave

A wonderful shop I have had the pleasure of being in, a proverbial Aladdins Cave of vinyl So glad it's been saved, some of these idiots that own buildings like this (see The 100 Club) have just no idea what it means to music fans Lenny

Solomon Burke with another late great -- Willie Mitchell Quality

R.I.P.....KING SOLOMON.

Another legend departs. He like the others before him made so many people happy. This one's for you big man. RIP:

tmg555 Solomon Burke One of Soul Musics Greats ......One of the very first acts l seen back in 1965.... He Was Great Then And Was Greater Now.....!!! Solomon I will miss you thank-you..........!!!!!

got my demos love both tracks cheers paul a t b vinny soulshaker:thumbsup:

Very sad news, he'll be a big loss. Paul Mooney

Ditto Sean.......Brilliant in every way. Also,kinda puts it into perspective a bit when the word Legend is applied to so many who arent necessarily deserving of the title,Solomon was in every respect a true LEGEND........If anyone hasnt yet done so,get yourself a copy of Sweet Soul Music by Peter Guralnick and take time to read the chapter on Solomon Burke,its a CLASSIC. Amongst other things,he used to sell sandwiches to the band on the tour bus ! He used to cook Pork Chops etc to sell to the crowd in the foyer at his own gigs! And the gig for the Ku Klux Klan in the South is stuff of legend. Also,if you get a chance,then check out his Double Live Lp on rounder Records from the mid 80`s.......The best live lp going i reckon....... Check these personal faves as well,theres many more of course. I cant imagine theres many on here who wont know most of these but you never know: If You Need Me Tonights The Night. CryTo Me Looking For My Baby Everybody Needs Somebody Stupidity You And Your Baby Blues Midnight And You Please Dont You Say Goodbye To Me. Im gonna miss him and im really gutted i never got a chance to see him live or meet him....... Ivor

R.I.P KING SOLOMON !!!!!!!

A giant of soul in every respect, often copied never equaled RIP big fella Lenny
