  • Solomon Burke & Emmylou Harris live at Nashville's Belcourt Theatre on September 25th 2006.
    Solomon Burke (March 21, 1940 -- October 10, 2010) was an American singer-songwriter, entrepreneur, mortician, and an archbishop of the United House of Prayer For All People. Burke was known as "King Solomon", the "King of Rock 'n' Soul", and as the "Bishop of Soul", and described as "the Muhammad Ali of soul", and as "the most unfairly overlooked singer of soul's golden age".
    During the 55 years that he performed professionally, Burke released 38 studio albums on more than 17 record labels and had 35 songs that charted, including 26 songs that made the Billboard R&B charts, including "Got to Get You Off My Mind" that was #1 in the summer of the 1965, and an additional 9 songs that were only listed on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
    By 2005 Burke was credited with selling 17 million albums. Rolling Stone ranked Burke as #89 on its 2008 list of "100 Greatest Singers of All Time".
    On Sunday October 10, 2010, Burke died at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport while on a plane from Los Angeles that had just landed. He had been due to perform with De Dijk in Amsterdam on October 12.

    The great Solomon Burke and the Angel Emmylou. Brings tears to my old eyes. What an amazing and adventerous idea to put these two together. Emmylou is so adventerous and diverse. There is no one else like her in this world.

      He'd been around a long time. I think he just kinda flew below the radar. I lost touch with his music for decades. But he was a contemporary of BB, Ray Charles, and Otis R. I first used to listen to him as a teen, and I'm 72 now! He sounds great in this and its a great appreciation-choice of musicians I might add.

    We're gonna hold on
    We're gonna hold on
    We're gonna hold on to each other
    Life can be rough, sometimes it's kind
    A real good life is hard to find
    But the best love is the one we've known
    And the faith we have between us makes it grow
    Some love lives and some love don't
    We've got the kind of love we want
    It brings us happiness all through the day
    And nothin' can ever make it go away
    We're gonna hold on
    We're gonna hold on
    We're gonna hold on to each other
    Time will tell if you're right or wrong
    We know we're right by holdin' on
    And the future is set for you and me
    Filled with love, the way we both want it to be
    We're gonna hold on
    We're gonna hold on
    We're gonna hold on to each other
    We're gonna hold on

    I could think of 100 songs I'd rather hear them do together, but this is nicely done - of course. Thanks for a nice upload.

    A great song despite the over - long,sentimental, soapy American style intro by Solomon. Has to be said though that SB`s fantastic, powerful voice dominates so much that it makes EH sound somewhat weedy.

      Solomon Burke was always big, had strong appetites (many, many children), and great spiritual connections. He coined the phrase "soul music" because he didn't want Atlantic to promote him as just a blues singer. Ray Charles made two albums of country music turned into Ray's personal vision of R&B. Solomon Burke always did country and bluegrass as arranged by artists native to the idiom, and just sang them his own way. He also had a neat little career as a character actor. He outlived many thinner artists who used drugs or were unlucky in small planes, or got shot. You want tragic obesity death -- the rooted Hawaiian croon "Iz." His older brother died before him, and he tried everything, but could only really be comfortable in a swimming pool by the end. I do wonder if he was done in by a genetic over strong anti-starvation capacity that helped his Polynesian ancestors make voyages of thousands of miles in dugout double-canoes. Tragic loss to an underaporeciated music.
