Solomon Burke
While not as widely known as such contemporaries as Otis Redding and Wlison Pickett, Solomon Burke was one of the true pioneers of soul and R&B in the 1950s and 1960s. Gritty and passionate, Burke made music that carried an almost evangelical fervor--fitting for a man once known as the "Wonder Boy Preacher." A major influence on rock & roll, Burke has achieved legendary status after decades of hard work and great, passionate music. In 2006, nearly a half century after his debut, Burke released the critically acclaimed country album NASHVILLE.
