    I am married to one of Solomon King's sons. It is so nice to hear these comments and know that people still enjoy his music. This is my husbands favourite song of his dad's.

    Dearie me, what a truly magnificent voice Solomon King had. He never really received the recognition he deserved. I love this version of the song and come back to it again and again just to hear his marvellous voice.

    what a fantastic voice,clearly his record company at the time failed to market this man properly, he was a truly wonderful singer.

    This record was on the juke box of my local pub in 1968-69. I was 18 at the time and all the regulars were around the same age- up to their early 20s. Nobody over 25 ever went in the pub, yet this song was played constantly. When you consider the great music that was around at the time, this is testament to how truly great this song was.

    I met Solomon King in the late 1970's, My late uncle was a Freind of his, he was staying in Manchester at the time and My uncle brought him to My home town to a charity night, He brought the place down with his Great voice, he stayed at our house for 2 nights, he could eat like a bear My Mum was rushed off her feet. He was a backing singer for both Billie Holiday and Elvis presley. A fantastic singer, sadly missed

      @robg71 8 років тому +3

      +Dean Levy I met your father back in 1978-79. He was friends with My uncle. He came to our house. What a voice. He did a small concert in our town and raised thousands for a local charity. He had one of the greatest voices I ever heard. We had some of his LP's. Ive tried to get any film footage or released CD's of your father but there are non available. I was very young at the time. I remember him telling us he did backing vocals for Elvis and Billie Holiday! He sang My Yiddeshe Mama in both English and Hebrew in our living room. There wasn't a dry eye in the house. RIP Solomon.

    What a magnificent voice - I defy any singer to match the vocal range that Solomon King possessed. Thanks very much for sharing "When We Were Young" - it is a treasure.
    Personally, I am a die-hard Jim Reeves fan, but I believe Jim would have taken his hat off to Solomon King had he lived long enough to hear him.

    This is so beautiful to me This used to be played at our house
    And that's more than 45 years ago.
    My uncle has heard this for the first time in a cafe in Belgium and has
    the owner to sell it to him, and he took it out of his juxbox and gave it to my uncle.
    So my best regards from the Netherlands

    I'm very pleased to congratulate you on your Father's WONDERFUL voice, when I was 22 and living in London I used to go to a cafe which had a juke box and "she wears my ring" was on it which I played for ever and ever until I left the place and every day for two years! I often wonder if the people in there ever got sick of it and was probably relieved when I eventually went home for good!! If I hear it now it takes me right back to that cafe and 1968. GLORIOUS VOICE.
