Solomon Burke

Solomon Burke wasn’t popular with public, and he didn’t release any real hits which could be included in Top 20, for example. He released '60s singles for Atlantic, and he made a great impact on R&B by country music style. Luckily he had a lot of professionals around him who were of great help to him, including money-support. One of them was Bert Berns (producer.)

Solomon Burke is known for such singles as "Got to Get You Off My Mind," "Just Out of Reach," "Cry to Me," "If You Need Me," and some others. And in the 80s all of a sudden Solomon became very popular, and was considered to be one of the greatest singers of classic soul music. And his success was proved by his tours-people were eager to attend his concerts.
